    Hi all,

    Being new to the forums I thought that I would post some info about an iPhone game that I am currently working on. The title of the game will be "THEM". To give you a brief idea about the game, it is basically a side-scroller shooter(2.5d made with Unity iPhone) where you play as an old guy that has been caught selling secrets. Now "THEM", the organization that you (the player) previously worked for, wants to terminate you.

    Below are a couple screenshots of the game. I am keeping the game black and white with a "cutout" feel to the graphics. It helps the graphics pop off the screen and looks really good on the iPhone and iPad. The images attached are: A cinematic screenshot(the actual camera during gameplay is farther away.); The splash screen for the game; Finally the menu for the game. I am aiming for an August release for the title as that will coincide with an article being published about my game in the Unity Creative Magazine this September.

    Also, make sure to check out my blog here for the latest info on the game. I will be releasing a trailer soon as well as gameplay videos.

    Old man with a cane that kills people? Sounds like one of my co-workers... except that instead of killing people he makes their lives as miserable as can be. ;)

    @RonBurgundy @ASB Thanks! I'm working on the gameplay vids right now. Hopefully I can get them done soon.

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    The name was more than enough to get me interested. Any game involving old men with canes who kill people must be insane.

    Before I get heat, let me say I'm bumping to post news on the game.

    @emwhytee It's still at Apple right now and I am aiming for an October 27th release. That way it gives me a bit more time to market it.

    That was tweeted by Glacier Games an hour ago. :) Hope it's out soon!

    I love when old people are violent. I think it must be even better when you get to control the old person's violence. Great artwork.
