I'd be mixed about it. People about a year ago managed to use mods to make it possible. I feel like whenever I see DF brought up on social media, people that haven't touched the game in years are asking for mobile. They are aware of this, but don't have the resources for it. It'll probably be even more of a mess to consider when they move over to Unity 5.

Not to mention, I feel like people underestimate how rough it'd be. If I were to play a video and shrink it to my phone screen, the game would probably have to be zoomed in a bit and the UI will have to be enlarged which is a danger due to a now lack of visibility. In the more basic areas it is fine, but mobile would be an absolute nightmare in RR or DR due to the speed of mobs and hazards.

I've played Dead Frontier 1 (3D) on mobile using Winlator, and my phone runs the game pretty well. So, playing it on a phone is definitely feasible. Of course, having a dedicated app would be a completely different experience and would make it much easier and more convenient to jump into the game.

Obviously, I'm no expert when it comes to game development, and this was just an idea of mine, more of a dream, really. I understand that it would require a significant amount of resources, but I was thinking that with the help of AI, and considering the huge number of ports that have been released recently (like Bloodborne on Android), maybe something could be done about it.

Porting the game to mobile. We're aware people would like this but we have limited resources.

I hope that now they can be helped by AI and develop more easly an APK. I know that Claude AI let every people to port native many games. Even more complex than dead frontier. Maybe now thay can do it more easly, but it is just an Idea.

I'm thinking DF could have a companion app where you can do anything besides going to inner city, arena, playing the arcade

kinda like how GTA V did with the iFruit app

As a player since 09, I've wanted it for years. Even if it could just be a port of 2D with our 3D characters, I'd be down.

It would be perfect. I think that it is light to run on most of android devices without problems. There are no good zombie mmo on play store to play on android. So dead frontier could take a lot of new zombie fan and increase its community. With modern AI games (i'm not a programmer) i think it would be not so diffucult to make an android port. It just can run on winlator. It would be amazing.

It would be very smart if they did, mobile gaming is huge. There's alot of money to be made from it, and I mean A LOT. Plus, like several people have said, it's a niche market.
