ChAIR talks syncing Infinity Blade II games between devices using iCloud
October 24th 2011
One cool new feature of iOS 5 and iCloud is the ability to save data off of the local device. For game developers, this means game data can be saved on iCloud to be accessed on other iOS devices.
Wired has an interesting piece outlining this and other gaming advances with the iPhone 4S/iPad 2 and iOS 5. Christina Bonningtoninterviewed Donald Mustard, ChAIR creative director working on Infinity Blade II.
"Seamless syncing across devices is a huge thing for gaming," Mustard says. The iCloudfeature enables users to effortlessly transition a game-in-progress from one iOS 5 device to another, allowing for an uninterrupted gameplay narrative as they move from, say, their subway seat to their couch, or even from room to room.
