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 · Oct 2012

Cool, that looks like fun!

Mcejn · Oct 2012

Nice vibe, and some pretty cool effects! Congrats.

Torch · Oct 2012

Wow that looks pretty awesome, Great work!

ErichWK · Oct 2012

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 · Oct 2012

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.

ErichWK · Nov 2012

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

Any idea if you guys will port it?

ErichWK · Nov 2012

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!

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

WarrenM · Nov 2012

So bought. Looking forward to playing this tonight!

ErichWK · Nov 2012

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 · Nov 2012

Congrats Erich

Jeff Parrott · Nov 2012

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

Lamont · Nov 2012

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

ErichWK · Nov 2012

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!

http://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/arc-squadron

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
