    Yes. Actually there's also a pocket MMO of sorts in the works involving fully destructable cities, giant alien walkers, etc. Lot's of good stuff with the 3.0 SDK!

    That just got my attention. Is there going to be customizable/buyable ships?

    Yes. The finer details are still being baked but ship customization, upgrades, trading, etc. is all (already) part of the core design doc.

    If you'd like to join the upcoming beta drop an email here: [email protected] and/or visit our site and join the forums. Look forward to seeing you there!

    Behind You!
    This game looks very nice. The graphics looks great. I like it! I would love to buy it but I only have $0.17 in my account. :p I have to start saving up more money again.

    Graphix look great, and the game itself looks pretty nuts!

    Online multiplayer for this will be awesome..

    No problem, it's an awesome game!

    If you want me to review it there, just send me a Beta of the game, so it builds the hype even more.

    Do you plan on a iPhone 3G s specific features or better graphics than this amazing piece of game judging from the graphics.

    damn, i can't :(

    I've lost my iPod, I just remembered. Well if the game isn't released within 2 weeks (as Apple's Reviewing system is quite slow), and i've found my iPod, i'll be sure to send you my UDID.

    I will hopefully find my iPod soon. Sorry, but thank-you for accepting.

    I hope you make more successful games in the future.

    Thanks for the compliment! To your question: absolutely! The 3GS graphics capabilities are amazing and we're currently in the process of a major upgrade to the VIVID rendering system (our internal engine) to support it. Some of the stuff we've currently got in alpha test look better than some PS3 games I've seen - particularly when it comes to destructibility; we've got an entire city on one 3GS device that comes apart down almost to the individual brick level. Smoke, debris, flames and pieces of skyscrapers falling down so realistic it looks more like a movie than a game. The 3GS is just that powerful!

    For this first release though Metal Sun was designed to run and look good on a standard iPhone - indeed, until things start exploding it actually runs at 50 FPS on a 2G touch! For the next release though it'll detect if a 3GS is present and if so will enhance the display considerably! And then some. If a 3GS isn't detected it'll fall back to where it's at now - which isn't too bad :)
