  1. It's been a while since I last played the beta on my old iPod Touch 2G, but I can't wait to try it out again on my new iPhone. :)

    It looks great! Have you fixed the odd frame rate issues applied to the enemy radar mechanic?

    Yes sir. Done quite a bit of optimization since then actually (October bug I think). You'll have the option to turn off the radar if you wish, though. There is 3 graphic optimization settings available. One is High resolution graphics, 2nd is Reflections, and 3rd is Radar. For 2g devices those 3 will be off as default and on current gen devices (iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS) will have them all on by default.

    So ... there is this publisher named Chillingo ...

    Okay, enough with the silence. Some of you guessed it. The game has been picked up by Chillingo and will launch in just a couple weeks! The new teaser trailer is below:

    Other playable characters (in a free post launch update)

    Thought I'd share some of the details of what's coming in the post launch update. The Queen's forces didn't just capture our beloved soldier but there are others trapped in her web—each with their own story. Below are characters you will be able to choose to play as. Each one will come with a different special ability (besides the standard 4). The soldier can sprint as his special ability but the other characters will be different.

    Suggestions/Thoughts

    Also, I wanted to ask for suggestions/thoughts to the forum:

    If you could create your own special ability to use in game, what would you do?

    They are in some ways like armor abilities in Halo or class abilities in Mass Effect.

    Also, what about a weapon you always thought would be cool to dominate your enemies with?

    Who knows, your suggestion might make into the game ... Thanks!

    No, I really would love to have the spiderweb like spiderman, something that can be used to trap enemies in form of a web or wire.

    btw the new characters looks really nice! I am looking forward to see the final release in two weeks! It has been a long wait (especially for you I think)

    Thanks. Yeah ... its been a longer wait then anticipated but I think its better because of it. Working with Chillingo has been good and their feedback has pushed the game in good directions. However, I've got to hand it to the beta testers (FPE especially) for really helping to make it the crazy goodness it is today!

    :p

    Honestly it was fun.
     
  16. New playable characters in the update? Wow, this has certainly changed A LOT since the beta. I can't wait to see how the game is like after Chillingo's involvement. :)

    Ooooo ... perhaps a medium-damage energy sword ... could be cool to slice and dice your way through enemies.

    Hah-It is almost there ;). Actually took me a second to make the connection to the energy sword. I was thinking something a little different though ...
