Hi all !
for first time i'm on this forum to speak about an application instead of a game (and it feels strange..) BUT the application is actually game related somehow.
CCP : Custom Control Pad is the application, it will be very soon available on the AppStore as a universal app, and soon after we will release it for Android too.
With CCP a user can setup infinite "layouts" of buttons, labels, graphic elements , knobs, virtual joystics, midi in/out controls etc, and control a PC/Mac with it.
We started working on it to transform our touch devices in "Control pads" for the pro applications we use every day (3d software as Maya or Lightwave, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Logic etc...). You could have a photoshop layout with all your most used
keyboard shortcuts, a layout for illustrator with different ones, one for final cut and so on. CCP on device will react to application switching on PC/Mac and switch layout accordingly. (example : working on photoshop and then switching to illustrator ). Buttons on mobile device can trigger all possible keyboard shortcuts, combinations and input types on the PC / MAC.
We where also working on a joystick application to control our future PC/Mac games so we decided to merge the 2 projects, in CCP you will be able to setup a layout with a virtual joystick, buttons, displays with info etc..
We will release a
public SDK to send data from pc/mac to CCP on mobile device, so that applications can send info to ipad screen (time in Final Cut, brush size in Photoshop, console in unity). (modding/plugins can bring this functionality in many cases)
Developers will be able to set up from their applications or games layout appearance on CCP on idevice etc.. But can't yet say much about it.
Users will be able to export and share their layouts, (we are working on a centralized server solution to allow layout searching and downloading directly inside the application).
Users will also be able to create custom "Skins" changing every single graphic element of the layout (metal skin, wood skin etc.)
Here are some example layouts to control different applications and a game (Kerbal Space Program) .
(WARNING : graphics are unfinished, beta version etc....)
Unity 3D
Final Cut Pro X
Kerbal Space Program :
Really hope you'll like it, and we would love your feedback, which applications and games you think it will be most useful for, your favourite shortcuts etc....
Thanks for your time !
