More Details on the Digital Bang!
In early February 2010, I posted an item about Palzoun Entertainment and dV Giochi working on a digital version of Emiliano Sciarra’s card game Bang!
While writing that post I wasn’t clear on which platforms the digital Bang! might appear, but thankfully Ryan Seney went searching for more details and ran across the Bang! section of Palzoun’s blog. In that section, reps from Palzoun answer questions from readers and note that the game will be available on the PC and for Linux, while also showing a mock-up of the game on the iPhone, as shown below.
Palzoun notes that the game will be playable in multiple languages, and evidence of this can be seen with the Italian reminder text above and the English explanatory text in the image after the jump.
Also of interest in the image below is how well the information is displayed compared to the opacity of the physical game: Scrolling over a card brings up explanatory text; the players you can possibly shoot are highlighted with a target, the Sheriff is identified by an off-color background image; cards in opponents’ hands are displayed and can be counted; life points are clearly marked. Whether all of this info will be as clear on the small screen as it is in the large image below isn’t obvious, but one can hope.
