ANNOUNCING: GROKION – the newly coined upcoming sci-fi side scroller for the iphone/itouch In a global exodus, mankind’s elite abandons earth boarding vessel 144k, the Covenant Ark, on route to the moon in hope of salvation via an experimental lunar biosphere pioneered by Dr. Savain. The Moon Biosphere Programme, developed to provide habitable atmospheric conditions and an independently sustainable environment on the moon, is largely a mystery – utilizing experimental materials and technologies with power drawn from energy sources of unknown origin. As the 144k makes way to the biosphere, chaos is erupting - the artificial ecosystem has become unstable, satellites, weapons and technology are failing and previously harmless fauna and flora are mutating into powerful creatures! You are LDU-1 – a Lunar Defense Unit designed by Dr. Savain and the very last unit standing in a fleet of security bots. Your mission is to find Doctor Savain and restore order to the biosphere before the exiled arrive, enabling them to land safely. Grok is an iconic action-adventure game inspired by the dark explorations of Metroid and intense platforming of Mega Man. Entwining brilliant modern game-play mechanics, physics-based puzzles and pure old-school styling, it delivers a nostalgic yet progressive gaming experience.

Stole my words right out of my mouth, can't wait! You guys forgot the website http://www.grokion.com/ not a lot of info though
what the heck? Jonny Ree? He's working on Ravensword! Hmm... he's been missing for the past few weeks...
I'm liking the logo... is that Plastic Wrap? I've never been able to use that properly, usually just turns things to s***.
Then he'll be like "lolwut, I got 0wn3d" you should give him a paycheck with a zero in the amount place
Looks Awesome This game is on the top of my up and coming list. I hope to see a well polished game out of this
I just got an email back from him - all is good - he's been working on this game since it started. I thought he jumped ship from Ravensword 2 to work on it. Luckily most of his work was done anyway. I'll keep my drama out of here now.
Not any time soon. We're building up a code base and a massive asset library first, among other things.
Im Really excited for this game too. I was excited when it was first shown in almost black and white early stages. I just hope its not getting overdone. Seems like stuff keeps getting added and redrawn and redrawn. Game looks a lot different from when it started. And while thats usually a good thing i just hope it doesnt move too far away from what it started as, a really good looking Mega MAn/Metroid type game.
