HOW COULD YOU TELL IT WAS JFLETCHER?!

Oh yeah, because it looks awesome. He's probably too modest to say it himself, but he pretty much single-handedly did all the character, weapon and item work so far on this title - modelling, texturing and skinning.

Most of the environment work was handled with similar panache by Angelo "classact" dal Pra, who I don't think is on Polycount (unless he lurks? come on out!).

I didn't really do anything on this title barring a tiny bit of UI art contribution and the occasional bit of pipeline support & art debugging, so I can say (moderately impartially) that it looks absolutely fantastic.

If you guys haven't watched the trailer yet, then go feast your eyes, it was put together entirely in-house and is a lot of fun:

again the game looks awesome cant come soon enough!

Ark · Apr 2012

Another Splash Damage fan here! This looks great!

Is this running on the same engine as Brink?

monster · Apr 2012

This looks awesome! Love the trailer.

MoP · Apr 2012

Ark, no, it's running on Unity. I think there'd be more uproar if we'd ported an id Tech engine to mobile platforms

ae. · Apr 2012

also just because im already hear Splash damage should release brink as a free-to-play! would make so much monies loved that game

ScudzAlmighty · Apr 2012

I think I'm in luv:poly136:

Ace-Angel · Apr 2012

You hipsters and your IPhone products :P

Looks nice.

Wesley · Apr 2012

This looks fantastic! Watched the trailer earlier and was taken aback when the in-game footage started; just looks incredible.

SaferDan · Apr 2012

And another Splash Damage fan here! This looks awesome! Can not wait for it!

almighty_gir · Apr 2012

awesome job guys!

Cheez · Apr 2012

I need this yesterday. Could be the only thing to break my Hero Academy addiction :P
Any word on a release date ?

Jeff Parrott · Apr 2012

This looks like so much awesome. I love this type of game on iOS.

Slum · Apr 2012

Was that mop and tully playing the game in the trailer? Ha.

Seriously though, this looks fantastic

tupwick · Apr 2012

So happy about this!
I loved frozen synapse and the concept of asynchronous turn based gaming like this. Was brilliant and iOS is the perfect platform!

Torch · Apr 2012

Just saw this today on the Splash site (maybe a bit late finding out about it), anyone else looking forward to it? Kinda makes me think of Team Fortress 2 meets League of Legends XD Looks like a lot of fun

There's a little somethin' on the guy on the left's shoulder.

But anyway, it's cool this is getting positive feedback, I'm looking forward to showing more!

TheLaLiLuLeLo · Apr 2012

Ohhhh, this looks sweet. Really reminds me of Frozen Synapse, but 100x cooler!

Great to see a big name using Unity - that's usually the number one excuse people use to dismiss it. Looks like it's right up my alley, I'll DEFIANTLY play this.

TheWinterLord · Apr 2012

Looks fun and the art is great!

TheLaLiLuLeLo · Apr 2012

Does anyone know if this is coming to the Android OS? Too many companies focus on iOS...

Xoliul · Apr 2012

ZOMG finally it's announced! I didn't contribute to it whatsoever, but I'm glad to see people are appreciating this everywhere, it's nice to see positive vibe again at the mention of Splash Damage!

Mathew O · Apr 2012

This game looks amazing, I can't wait to try it

LoTekK · Apr 2012

Any chance of an Android version (especially since it's using Unity)? No iOS device here

Ark · Apr 2012

Need PC version!

Ace-Angel · Apr 2012

Saw that today, nice to hear that!

spacemonkey · Apr 2012

The guys did a top job with Rad Soldiers, it was a great opportunity for JFletcher to help define the visual style of the characters! He's one of the youngest guys in the studio and also one of the most driven artists

haha brilliant! Love the art style, definitely gonna have to buy this

fearian · Apr 2012

I saw this video yesterday - quite interested in this. I've been playing alot of final fantasy tactics lately and could do with some more turn based stuff!

Quack! · Apr 2012

Can't wait for this fellas. Great to see you branching out into this territory. I love art focused companies. You make my eyes hard.

metalliandy · Apr 2012

Looks awesome!

Wont have to as it will be free to play! Someone at work mentioned that quite a few people didn't realise it at first, so there's a 'free' logo slapped on the warchest page now, hehe.

cptSwing · Apr 2012

do want android. looks like it could bridge the gap until Firaxis' XCOM release..

MoP · Jul 2012

Bumping thread with newer trailer (from last week, I think):

rooster · Jul 2012

the art looks lovely!

adam · Jul 2012

DOWNLOADING NOW

slipsius · Jul 2012

Went to the IGDA comedy night last night, and there was a dude in the front row the comedians were picking on all night that was working on this game. It was pretty funny.

This looks fantastic. Though, one of the characters looks like the engineer from tf2

MikeF · Jul 2012

ahhhh damn, would love to try this out for android, any future plans for a port?

ScudzAlmighty · Jul 2012

Got it for my Iphone, only able to play the first part of the tutorial so far but yeah, I'll say it: RAD Soldiers is RAD:)

imyj · Jul 2012

Saw the Splash Damage talk at Rezzed and really enjoyed it

Can't wait to see future announcements from the team! I'll have to give this a spin

Jeff Parrott · Aug 2012

Any word on this game coming for non-Canadien peoples in North America?

StephenVyas · Aug 2012

well I guess I know what the next game I'm going to be getting addicted to!
Judging by the screenshots/trailer, REALLY great work guys!

Downloading as we speak

TonyClifton · Oct 2012

I would like to play this game, too, but my appstore is not canadian either. I also would like to know more technical details on how many tris you spend, etc. Any chance, JFletcher?

Torch · Oct 2012

Didn't read the whole thread, but will there be a PC/Browser based version? Art looks so nice

Jeff Parrott · Dec 2012

This is finally out in the US. Playing the crap out of this most of the day. Username is jeffparrott if anyone is playing.

Any chance of an art dump those of you that worked on it?

Ark · Dec 2012

PC version still planned?

lloyd · Feb 2013

What went into the art for this? just diff and painting? or hp bake etc?
