Though Rudolf Kremers and Alex May don't have a firm date to announce yet, the indie developers behind Eufloria have confidently revealed that the release of their surreal real-time-strategy game on the iPad and iPhone is "imminent." What's even better is that the upcoming iOS version of the game won't just be a straight port, and will incorporate a bunch of new improvements.

Eufloria is a game about spreading the beauty of nature in a real-time strategy (RTS) setting. It found success as a PC title and is now attempting to translate that same appeal to PSN. For the most part, Eufloria remains an enjoyable experience, though there are some aspects of the game that come across awkwardly in its new console iteration.

World of Goo developer Ron Carmel recently claimed that developers were losing interest in Xbox Live Arcade, citing difficulties working with Microsoft and its digital platform. Rudolf Kremers, designer of Eufloria, agrees, saying it would be "impossible" to publish on Xbox Live. "For Microsoft the cost would be prohibitive, as they had all sorts of mandatory features. Multiplayer and the like," Kremers explained. "And of course you have to use their QA..."
"The cost picture would be so prohibitive that self publishing would be impossible."

Omni System's alluring indie strategy game, Eufloria, will make the move to PS3 in October. Following a successful release on PC, Eufloria will be enhanced with new units, rebalanced levels, improved AI, new collectibles, an expanded soundtrack, and upgraded graphics for its PS3 re-release.
The strategy game has you planting seeds, in a conquest to take over other territories. It's rather difficult to explain. Thankfully, there's a trailer that can help make sense of it all.

What's the best way to get into an indie dev's heart? Money.
Sony Computer Entertainment is making an even more aggressive effort to secure exclusives for its PlayStation Network platform by pledging $20 million of support over the next three years. Through its Pub Fund program, PS3 has become home to titles like Joe Danger and Critter Crunch.
Microsoft also negotiates exclusivity deals with indies. However, as evidenced by Braid, Castle Crashers, and most recently, Limbo, it appears those contracts allow developers to re-release their games on competing platforms after a period of time. Most PSN exclusives remain exactly that, with the occasional iOS and Steam port.
