Arc Squadron!

ErichWK

Hey! I'm pimpin' my first mobile Game I got to work on. Me and fellow Artist, Bobby McCoin pumped out all of the environment textures.

When it releases I will do an art dump! It was a nice break from doing AAA games and has made me garner much more respect for mobile as a platform and what it can and can't do.

YAY! This looks so good, congrats!
Oh man, how much I would looove to play this with a gamepad, REZ style ...

JonathanLambert

Cool, that looks like fun!

Mcejn

Nice vibe, and some pretty cool effects! Congrats.

Torch

Wow that looks pretty awesome, Great work!

ErichWK

Thanks! Prior.. oh god REZ is so good. If we ever do a sequel I am going to force Design to add in some of those rad camera angles like in REZ. Surprisingly.. It handles REALLY well with touch controls. A lot of games suffer because of that stuff.. and most games overcome that with forced auto-scroll.. But it works out pretty well in the case of Arc Squadron! I will admit the game is perfect for little mini breaks, Bathroom time included.

looks awesome, reminds me of star fox. great job!

Lamont

Looks cool and yeah, reminds me of StarFox.

Pior, if you have a Droid, you can connect a USB controller and play. Hopefully this comes out on a Droid as well.

Lamont

Hurry and release in Japan! It is out today in NZ!!

ErichWK

Hey! We are live! And so far every gaming site that has reviewed it so far seems to love it! Here is Touch Arcade doing a quick demo of the game.

If you buy it Today only, it's $.99 compared to $5 tomorrow. I will do a dump by the end of the week!

If it was Android that would be a piece of cake to do...

Any idea if you guys will port it?

ErichWK

Ahh. Hopefully soon. We definitely want to get it to as many people as possible! Android is definitely in the works and so are other ports! The game looks REALLY good on PC with all the fancy shaders and better lighting/lightmaps and actual using specularity. Sadly Unreal Mobile really hates specularity.. but once we get it on better equipment you guys will be mega stoked!

Autocon

Looks sick Erich! Wish it was on like PSN or something. I love these types of games.

WarrenM

So bought. Looking forward to playing this tonight!

ErichWK

Ugh. I wish it was on PSN! Maybe a sequel.. But it's so expensive to get games for Cert on consoles. but hey! As I write this we are number 11 on the iPad top downloads! WE ARE COMING FOR YOU, NEED FOR SPEED! ;-)

PeterK

Congrats Erich

Jeff Parrott

Nice Erich! This looks awesome. Gonna give this a download now.

Lamont

Gya~~~! Hurry with the Japan release already... the album is for sale though...

ErichWK

It's not in Japan?? Weird.. I could've sworn we released there. Let me check! By the way! We got a pretty sweet metacritic score. And I think a 4.5/5 rating in the iStore!

We've been getting glowing reviews..maybe Nintendo will see it and let us do a StarFox sequel. I think its a dollar again in the store! EVERYONE CHECK IT OUT! In the mean time I will ask what's up with a japanese release!

also..if anyone hasn't seen it yet..I did an art dump. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108280
