    Thanks. I'm planning to release sometime this year. Sorry I can't give you a specific date at the moment.

    I will however post regular updates on this thread.

    hey me again - this game has me excited and i gotta ask more questions about the gameplay!

    Is there a survival or scavenging mechanic in the game? - for example: you can't hide in a spot for too long other wise you will start to starve and dehydrate, and you need to scalage for food and equipment like bullets?

    i used to be a huge DayZ fan (before i got my mac which isnt compatible) and that feeling I get from actually surviving and scavenging to stay alive is something i haven experience in any other game. Since we still don't know 100% how the game will play like i have to ask: Would you be heading towards a sort-of "dayZ on iPhone?"

    sorry if some of the questions can't be answered at the moment. I can see a lot of potential in this game and id love to know as much as i can about the game and its progress

    There is definitely a survival mechanic in the game and it's in the process of being developed. The exact nature and scope of this feature is still to be determined. I'll post details when I can.

    Unfortunately I've never actually played 'DayZ' so I can't comment about that. However, it does sound like a interesting game so perhaps I should check it out.

    Thanks. There will definitely be a beta testing period. I'm not sure if that will include people outside of my normal testing group but I appreciate the offer. Please private message me with your details / email address, that way if I do expand I can include you. Also, please keep in mind that we're still in development and it might be a while before we are in beta.

    I signed up for a Touch Arcade account just so I could tell you this game looks awesome. I am very excited for it. The control scheme is so simple and I bet it will start a new trend for Dual Stick games. A+ Any chance there will be online multiplayer?
    If you expand your beta testing outside your company please keep me in mind.
     
  10. This could be so nice, I'll keep an eye here :D

    Thanks! Multiplayer is something that is planned for after initial launch. We have some cool ideas for it, but nothing to share right now.

    Unity4 Mobile Shadows!

    We've been using Unity3D to develop 'The Day I Tried...'. Recently they released a beta of their next version - Unity4. One of the cool new features they added was support for real-time shadows on mobile devices.

    I recently updated the game to support Unity4's shadows. Here are some new screenshots showing the latest developments - humans, water, the dock / waterfront and real time shadows.

    (Also, this is the last week to get your likeness in the game - http://oefun.com/myzombiehead
