    Looks pretty but...dang, it could be anything! :p

    My sick mind wants to imagine it is some sort of line drawing fire fighting game but I have no reason to actually believe this.

    Oh, duh, even the terrain there then makes a bit more sense...but, okay then, if true to Lost but still a basic pick up and play like game what would you think they're going for here? How do you make the concept of this thing into a game?

    Throw some of the rules out the window and play as the smoke monster destroying everything that dares defy him in his path, whilst maneuvering around magnetic sound wall barrier things. Play a backgammon mini-game in between levels and get rewarded with bottles of vintage wine that predate Christ. Complete the mysterious light mine quest and make your way off the island to continue your rampage on various regions of the world

    So it is a Lost themed game of snake? If using music straight from Lost you might run into troubles. :)

    The music is not from L O S T. But im glad you thought it might be. :) It was composed exclusively for Smoke Monster by Erick Schroder, an excellent composer I work with. Thanks for the Advice though.

    Power to you then! Just copying the same dramatic style of music can't get you into any trouble and it sounds awesome.

    It sounded TOO DAMNED GOOD to just be some music whipped up for a game! :D

    That composer is legit. Has he worked on anything bigger scale like television, film, or even console games? He has the chops.

    Not yet. But TV and Film is what he is working towards.

    us of a
    Is there any news related to the release of Towers of War? Not to draw the topic off of Smoke Monster (which looks pretty awesome by the way), but I heard about Towers of War on the TA front many months ago and nothing else has been said about it.

    Yes. The game has been completely re-hauled since it was previewed on Touch Arcade. ToW is currently in beta and it is going very well. Assuming we don't come across anything major it should be submitted within the month. Feel free to fallow me on Twitter for some sneak peeks.

    Nice graphics. I am waiting for launching it. If you have some features of it then describe it. I am really appreciated for it.

    I guess this is as close as we will ever get to a 'Lost' game.:)

    I hope this game has the authentic hisses, pops, and elephant roars of the real Smokey ;)
