    Interesting, very interesting. Looking forward to more screenshots and maybe gameplay video!

    How long exactly is "very soon"? I mean submission date.

    To Jarek; we sent the final game to Apple last week, so will be coming to the App Store in about a week's time.

    Mr Mustache, we use our own engine. Unreal is fully awesome though, and we'd definitely think about using it for future projects.

    Mister March could you tell us more about the first Episode. I was glad when i have read that Rodeo Games did choose to make a "Turn Based Strategy Game" but i am wondering what the actual Gameplay Time of the first Episode might be and if you are planing to bring the other Episodes through IAP since currently a lot of Developers are using that System.

    Hi Sanuku, we are glad that you are glad!

    Don't be fooled by the name, HUNTERS: Episode One is a full game with more than enough content to keep you playing for months. We also intend to support Episode One with updates, new content and further DLC for the foreseeable future.

    HUNTERS: Episode Two will be a sequel, but won't be happening until next year.

    Will the downloadable content be free and when do you expect for the game to come out?

    Im asking this from my phone in my office...stupid IT blocked the toucharcade...anyway for anyone who has played it or seen a video are we taking something like Silent Storm from a few years back on the pc? Turn based with rpg stuff added? Or something else? Will there be new weapons, different units so on?

    Ah the fun of IT blocking websites. I did work at a company once which didn't allow net access at all! Crazy!

    @mrdyer, I remember hearing about Silent Storm, but never got round to playing it. Having checked out their website, yes I think Hunters is quite similar. Play a turn based contract. Return to your ship, buy new gear, upgrade your guys, play another contract. We intend to release story arc contracts, where you'll reveal a story over the course of 10 missions or so.

    New weapons and units will be patched in for free, as and when we make them!

    @Arashi you'll be able to download HUNTERS as soon as Apple clear it. Hopefully towards the end of this week / early next week.

    Why did you choose the name, then? Gamers are used to the idea of an "episode" being shorter than a normal game, and that they will have to buy and play many episodes to get the full game experience.

    AI Team?

    Will the game have the option of having your squad move on their own like in Final Fantasy Tactics? That was one of my favorite features. Thanks. Looking very forward to this.

    I have been waiting for a deep SRPG and this looks like it will finally fill this void for me. ;)

    P.S. Price Point??

    Two questions:

    1) is there "overwatch mode", wherin you can opt to save action points, so if an enemy crosses your path, you automatically take a shot?

    2) can you pick up loot / ammo / weapons from fallen enemies / comrades?

    Can't WAIT.

    Silent Storm was great, as was "Shadow Watch". Very under-rated.
