iOS Development
The latest news from the site.
Endless Space Shooter has just been updated. The game now supports 2 players, each playing on one side of the screen, with the second ship flying inverted, oriented towards the second player.
A new leader board has been added for 2 player games which are cooperative.
I’ve also added a few fx so that bullets explode into tiny bits when they hit something. This should make it easier to see when you’ve been hit and looks cool.

The update is out. The game can now be played with the iCade in two modes:
– Regular: Just like playing with the touch screen: Press Up to go up and release to go down. Any other button to accelerate.
– iCade Special: Activate the iCade button to play an iCade-only mode where you can control the angle of the ship by using the up/down stick, giving you total control over the ship. I’ve created special leaderboards for this mode as it makes the game easier, but it does change it a lot, feeling more like a shoot’em up. It’s fun!

Update: The update has been released. if you’ve got an iCade, go get it now!
I’ve released my latest update to Vector Star Brawl. The update adds iCade support for one or two players (and 2 player games work really well this way!).
I’ve also added full support for the upcoming Gamedock controllers, so the game also plays on an external display.
Note that in order to use an external display you need to have an external controller (iCade or Gamedock). At this time, touch controls are disabled when using an external display.
Edit: My piecepack iPad app is out now. Availability may vary per region, but between tonight and tomorrow night it should be out everywhere. Get it here.
Here’s a short video demo of my upcoming boardgame app: piecepack
Coming soon to the Apple Appstore.

The update to Vector Star Brawl was accepted today. It corrects some problems with GameCenter achievements and adds an important feature, especially if your iOS device is older: an option to lower the screen resolution.

Vector Star Brawl has been released on the iOS AppStore. You can get it here: Vector Star Brawl
It’s free (for now) so go ahead and give it a try.
Well… it’s done… After these last few months of coding and testing, today I submitted the finished game to Apple…
Update: Had to re-submit it to add support for iOS6 and the new devices with the longer screen, but it does work very well with the new screen size!
I’ve been working on finishing my first iOS game lately and I think I’ve reach the point where I’m pretty happy with the results. Now I’ll start testing it with friends and family who own Apple devices.
