UPDATE - 22/11/2009 I´ve updated this post with in-game screen shots. The game is a team based artillery game with a game area spanning multiple screens. You play as either the Bears or the Pigs and the objective is to kill the other team. The game features real physics using the Box2D physics engine. Objects in the game react realistically to being shot and spin or topple over and plays similarly to Ragdoll Blaster with some puzzles elements. When characters are shot their bodies explode and their heads roll around the game area and interact with other objects. The Game is about 2 weeks from completion and will be released with an initial price of $0.99. I will be releasing more screenshots and in-game video over the next weeks. ====================== I have some artwork and a teaser trailer for an upcoming Iphone game I´m currently developing called Bears vs Pigs. The game is about 3 weeks from completion, I can´t give too much away at the moment but I´ll be releasing more info, screenshots and game play video is the coming weeks.
ha, ha, ha, lol, loved the teaser video ...I thought this was just going to be another animal board game, but now I'll definitely want to keep an eye on this
Well I suppose it could be considered racist by some, but I don't believe it is racist. I think the bear is supposed to be a 'black ghetto gangsta' while the pig is a 'mexican/latin cholo'. But that doesn't mean to say that it is racist.
FYI the video is a CGI render and not ingame graphics, however the game graphics are very similar. Regarding any racism, I'm black myself and in my opinion there is nothing racist about this. The game is a parody taking Fairytale characters and puting them into a US inner city setting. Big cities are very racially diverse places and I wanted the character voices to reflect this. Gangs often form alone racial lines and it's supposed to be a parody of this too. The fact that bears are brown and pigs are pink is actually a coincidence and shouldn't be relevant. The point is that they aren't even human, they're animals.
