Underground for the iPhone is coming soon, it will be a side scrolling shoot ‘em’ up with a twist that should set it "aside from other shooters out there, graphically it pushes the expectations people may have for an iPhone game whilst using the iPhones unique input to create a full and deep shooter experience and incorporating an intriguing story."

Site with video took more than 10 seconds to load. So I closed it.

[DanM]

The video tells us nothing, can't you tell us anything? :)

[Carlos-Sz]

Site tool less than 5 seconds to load here.

Movie is like a teaser of a teaser! I'm lost! :D

[mek]

so this isn't an advertisement for kinelco?...the trailer left me confused

[Kinl]

I can tell you everything you need to know is in the video.

Its just a bit of fun while we develop the game.

[salsamd]

So, both Underground and VertiGolf are "coming soon." Which will arrive first?

[BrushMyNoseOff]

Graffiti/tagging game? That'd be something! :)

[superbad]

SHMMUP on the scratched window grafitti!

VERY SMART TRAILER!

If one proceeds with that assumption, one would also have to assume that the "?" implies some ambiguity to the placement of this game in the genre you suggest...

[Kinl]

Shame Youtube doesnt have HD yet, I'm not keen on its quality, the link goes to a better quality quicktime, also although this is a prerender the ingame graphics are no different :D

[Adr3naLine]

Sweet, I have no idea as to what exactly the game is about but I'm excited!
Shoot 'em Up sounds sweet and are the dots with the locations next to "Coming Soon" any indication of what's to be included in the game?

[Kinl]

We are early in development and all your thoughts are being listened to :D

[DHrox]

If it's a shmup, how about a gun that fires subway trains at your enemy?:D

One does have youtube options of SD, HQ, and HD...

I wonder if it's not been rolled out to the UK, i'll have another look at my account.

EDIT: It seems there is a way, I will look in to it, I must have missed it first time round, thanks

Have mission based assignments for a skateboard riding dude to tag/erase the walls of various subway stations while avoiding the cops and fighting against other gang members.

Here , the player would have to navigate the subway by getting on/off different trains at connecting stations (for simplicity the trains going in either direction would run on the same track, but come at different times).

Tagging/erasing could be accomplished with gestures. Player movement might be via an effective virtual D-pad. Fighting with the gangs members also might be via gestures, or contextual translucent keys that appear when needed.

Missions might increase in difficulty with # of cops to avoid, gang members to fight, and train connections to make.

A career mode might be established based on the success of the missions and time taken.

idea #2 to follow...

[Kinl]

Sorry I should have been clearer, Its more features you would like to see in a game, price point, number of levels, hours of play, difficulty settings etc...

Then again, I can see how this could be difficult seeing as we've not yet made it clear what type of game it is ;)... or have we...

[aghartastudio]

maybe you are in control of a maniac aboard a subway train and you have to slaughter has many civilian as possible?

[DHrox]

That sounds incredibly violent and I doubt Apple would really go for that. Now if they were zombies, then Apple would be okay. I know someone's going to say Payback is like that too, but Payback actually has a reason for knocking people off.:)

You rotter

You have gone and made me think of Jet Set Radio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Set_Radio) now. Oh how i wish i still had the Dreamcast

Price point: introductory price then raise it to its valued price when user feedback is incorporated into updates. Here you reward early adopters who help advance the game further.

Levels: for game longevity, the more the better, as long as they are truly varied.

Hours of gameplay: again more is better.

Difficulty settings: 2-3. at least easy/medium and hard. Easy to ease users into the gameplay. Hard to keep them coming back.

Wow!. Sort of like hoping on and off the train to take care of business... "Don't go outside. Its a trap"...hmmm

[Kinl]

Just uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEXKugu-21g its not HD though sorry, I do need to look into HD youtube and will post as soon as I do :)

[rich_952000]

Kinl, I still am in anticipation of Vertigolf 3, more than you could ever know or understand!:D

[BrushMyNoseOff]

This is looking great from what's available. Any progress report?

[Kinl]

Working on the gamplay elements at the moment and they're coming together well, other than that I will post gameplay videos when I have them. :)

[dannys95]

Kinl, I still am in anticipation of Vertigolf 3, more than you could ever know or understand!:D

me too!! :D

[Adr3naLine]

I'm stoked for this game. So many highly anticipated games coming out Q1 of this year!

[Kinl]

Updated original post with some gameplay images and more on our site HERE (http://kinelco.com/site/?p=745#more-745) :)

[salsamd]

OK, now I'm lost again wrt to these images and the gameplay. The graphics of the "UFOs" outside of the train also depart in quality from that of the teaser videos and the first image.

Also, please do not make the shooting as simple as "tap to aim and shoot"

I've added a gameplay trailer here.

Youtube going up right now :)

[don_k]

It looks great, but I thought it would be something like Jet Set Radio.

[howtocode]

the grafitti effect is cool

[Kinl]

Its been a while since I updated this post due to working hard getting the levels down and tested.

We are also proud to announce graffiti artist Mister Frames is on board and has redesigned all the background graffiti featured in the game, he has worked for many blue chip clients in the past and I absolutely love his style! more of his work can be checked out here http://www.framerase.co.uk/

http://kinelco.com/unity/FrameBio.jpg

I will post some more gameplay footage very soon and hopefully we can get an reasonably accurate release date...

Thanks for listening.

[stoksyXL]

Any updates on this??

[Kinl]

The game is complete, but since the arrival of 3.0 we've felt we needed to tweek and add a few more things which has delayed us submitting it to Apple, we should have something very VERY soon.

Watch this space!

Thanks for your interest.

[eggzbacon]

Yay!

[Devilishly Good]

first i've seen of the game, but that does look really cool

[sconethief]

not at all what I was expecting this to be :O

[Squirt Reynolds]

Side-scrolling graffiti style space shooter?

Looks kinda cool

[Mindfield]

Still waiting to find out what this is about -- but frankly, I wanna see Vertigolf 3!
