Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition developer asks Android players for input

Overhaul Games, the studio behind Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, is turning to Android users to find out which devices the studio should prioritize for development and testing of the Android version of the game. Unlike the iOS version of the game, which only has to be tested on a few iPhone models, games on Android devices need to be tested on many models that vary from brand to brand, have different screen resolutions and different capabilities.

BioWare was working on a James Bond inspired role-playing game that had the working title of Agent in 2009 before the game was shelved, according to former employee Trent Oster. Speaking to Eurogamer, Oster — who has since co-founded Overhaul Games where he and others are currently working on Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition — said that in 2009 BioWare was working on "a new and exciting project that failed to survive the recession." Oster said of the game: The concept was to do the other half of GoldenEye. The idea being that James Bond isn't just a gun that walks around the world and shoots people.
