One more suggestion from me.

Many who are on the phone or tablet always are faced with extra long loading times and freezes when the device just cant take it, especially the large amount of pictures. I myself am on the tablet often and if I wasnt stubborn, I wouldnt even visit Lioden at that time, because just setting up my lionesses to hunt takes me more than 5 mins, let alone explore my 100 energy where battles pop up and lionesses.

However, in the past weeks the new layout was introduced to the site which was supposed to make the site more mobile friendly. But truth is.., it only made the layout less PC friendly. Everything is huge, and one needs to zoom out a lot to play comfortably on a PC to such an extent that I can barely read anything in favor of having important buttons visible. The placement of important buttons and maps is still wrong, one has to scroll a ton on both PC and tablet, no matter how much zoomed out you are.

One cannot make a site both PC and mobile friendly. One has to choose or both will feel uncomfortable.

It can be a pain. And it is.

In short:
Mobile and tablet devices just cant take Lioden's current design and constantly lag, freeze or the server times out because of the slow load. Exploring and taking care of lions is basically impossible and takes extra long even with the new layout. The new layout is also too big and the site organization is still off.

Solution:
Create a mobile-optimized version next to the current website, perhaps with the address of:
m.lioden.com
or something. Many other sites use this option and they have happy members.
Make the normal website optimized for PCs, so we can play comfortably, and make this new version compatible completely for mobiles/tablets.

What would the mobile-optimized site contain:
Basically it would be an extreme basic version of the game itself, not the entire site.
- Chatting, forum, everything on the side of the screen would be moved to a new page, away from the side of the screen to not cause additional loading times when people dont want to chat.
- Pictures should be removed from everywhere, only leaving them at your own lions.
- Your lion's stats perhaps could be displayed as % instead of bars at the top of the screen or something, to reduce picture loads.
- Buttons would be bigger. The map would be replaced with larger buttons as well, perhaps baring the corresponding picture of what they stand for,
Only these few things would reduce lag on phones and tablets greatly.

Feel free to suggest more things or change.

Thank you for reading.

Furry-Paws has a pretty nice mobile version, if any of you have played it?

It is similar to the original computer version, of course, but to make it easier for mobile users it put the drop-down links and things on the side :p

Maybe to reduce loading something could be done about the 'explore' page and other images- instead of a whole image, just make it a couple of links in a drop-down menu so it's easier to access things.

Just throwing out ideas :D

I dont think the app needs this included, since you can visit the forum simply through regular browsers. Or they can make a mobile version of the forum.

But chat really is not needed. If you wish to experience all the features of Lioden, then visit it in a regular way. otherwise, if too many features are shoved into the app, then it will be just as slow in loading as we have it now on mobiles and tablets.

I pretty much only play from my iPhone. It doesn't seem that bad, but it would be nice to have a mobile site. Supported.

Now, let me be honest. I've never played Lioden on a computer since I joined. I've ALWAYS played on iPhone or iPad and it always works pretty well.

It runs fine on my iPhone but I would love an app! It'd be a lot of work but it would probably benefit a lot of players.

This was suggested before, and struck down, no support, because, according to an admin, This is already in the works!

Actually, this is the original thread in which the admins said that it is in the works ._.
As for why I keep this bumped and why it isnt locked? So people can support this and wont make thread after thread for this suggestion.

On the lioden site when on my devices does not take longer, it is about the same if not faster to get my lions feed and hunting and stuff. Although I still agree we should have an app made for this website.
