    HI all! I'm here to give a little sneak peak of my next game.
    It's a radio commanded micro helicopter simulator, you'll have a very big house to explore (great 3D graphics), battery and damages you'll have to keep under control and some "helipads" where to land to have the battery recharged and damages fixed. What i like about this game are the controls, you have the same controls (and similar physics) of a 3 channel RC helicopter using multitouch.
    The game will be first released just as a simulator, but soon after a another version will come with Infrared guns, enemies and some missions and higher price....:).

    I'm posting some screenshots and later today or tomorrow i'll post a video...

    Please let me know your impressions and suggestions!
    Bye all
    FrozenPepper

    edit: here is a video showing mainly the controls, notice that you get your battery charged when you land on one of the "heli pads".

    what a great idea. as long as it's jerk free with a great frame rate you'll be onto a sure fire winner. gameplay is so much more a seller than the coolest graphics and special fx you can muster.

    that said, i'll be a paying customer :)


    reminds me a small bit of vertisim (only without the central column) - http://www.peterhirschberg.com/vertisim/ - a vertibird simulator for the pc. i still got my original vertibird :)

    It looks good. The graphics could be a bit better, but it looks excellent. I am really bad with RC helicopters. I had a 4ch one. I could take off, but not land. It 'flew away' and crashed into a tree, lol.

    Hahaha, I've "borrowed" three of my little brother's mini-copters... I've broken every single one of them (yeah, I owe him). This'll be a little cheaper. It's all in the physics. Get it right, they will beat a path to your door.

    Looks very interesting, congratulations on a good idea.

    You might want to think about adding tracks and little competitions like that old snes game Pilot Wings, that'll make your game awesome.

    Wow, thanks all very much for the comments! (and Thanks rich_952000 !)

    I've just added a video to the first post of the thread that shows the controls and a bit of the game feel in flight....

    About the physics: at the moment i'm quite satisfied with the results i'm obtaining, sort of easy to control but still feels a RC helicopter (an easy one to control...).

    Graphics are still partly under works so might change a bit (improving i hope).
    More info on the game coming soon for who's interested.

    To all:

    There have been developers who make promises with shallow/shady intentions. Frozen Pepper is a very honest, hardworking dev, I vouch 100% that any updates promised will be kept. :)

    Btw, I like that you'll be releasing the simulator @ $.99 then updating with added missions, enemies and weapons. Very rewarding for early adopters such as myself! Kudos FP.

    And thanks again rich_952000 ! It's great to hear that !
    But, i'm actually thinking of 2 separate games.. 1: cheap simulator 2: game (still cheap...), wich could grow with time..
    But don't worry at the moment i've plenty of ideas for the game version, and already thinking about version 2 while still have a lot of work on the first release....

    JavierDavalos : yes i'm thinking of air tracks, and similar, i'm not yet totally sure of which way i'll go... For the simulator i was planning something like: in every room there is something to pick up, pick up all the "things" from all the rooms in shortest time.. Suggestions and comments are very much appreciated!

    The video looks good. All it needs is some cats to crash into :D.
    Is that a crack in the door I noticed at the end of the video? Another room?

    i will buy

    i will buy as soon as the alleged update comes out with the shooting enemies because last time an update was promised like this with another developer it never came and it never will. so just to be sure, i'm gunna wait.

    Looks good.
    A minor niggle, but the tail rotor needs spinning 90 degrees.

    Apart from that, it looks like another app I'll be getting when it comes out.
