TouchArcades Article Ohh! If this game has gameplay similar to "X-COM or Fire Emblem", it will be amazing! Release date and price will be announced in the summer!
Oh my... both Star Wars: BfH and Filth Fair were mediocre at best. Hope they'll doing a better job this time.
Reading their blog, I'm glad they have a decided to make everything to a proportionate scale (like X-Com). Link: http://redwaspdesign.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/turn-based-mayhem-the-scale-of-the-action/
cant wait to get me some form of x-com goodness on my iphone that isnt the super slow ps1 emulation.. Plus with H.P. Lovecraft inspired story.. drools..
Here's the developer's answer to the X-Com question: http://twitter.com/#!/redwaspdesign/status/81361150939373569
Excellent looking game... you can't go wrong with turn based strategy and the Lovecraft mythos are under-represented on App Store.
More deets via Twitter. http://twitter.com/#!/redwaspdesign/status/81378983027032064 Twitter is the only way to really stay on top of this kind of thing. Every day, I find another use for Twitter.
The developer seems to tweet a lot about the WW1 and tunnels. The use of character sanity in this looks cool. From the developer blog "each of the player-characters has a Sanity score (SAN) that is impacted by seeing horror within the game... The use of Magic will also impact Sanity. ...when your character goes into a state of ‘Short Temporal Insanity’ there are several possible outcomes you can roll the dice for; panic, hysterics, phobia, stupor and mania. We think in game terms, mania is an interesting emotion. A manic character can be stronger, faster and less susceptible to pain; helpful characteristics in a fight! Yet, that extra power comes at a cost. Once a character goes insane, they will get a burst of manic energy and can do more as well as take more damage. However the candle that burns twice as long burns twice as bright; after a burst of manic energy, the character is burnt-out and lapses into unconsciousness and needs to be revived." Edit: @Icepulse - I just copy and pasted from the developer blog; who's Roy?
Do you mean "The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long" ? (And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy.)
The developer has posted 11 pictures and 1 sample video on their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/redwaspdesign
HD and SD are on going... Cheers for all the comments and feedback in this thread. We are developing both the HD and SD together, so the gap between the release of both will be small, we'll do our best to get both out asap however please bear with us as we're a small dev team. As mentioned we've put out screenshots and a video showing a pan around a level... Thanks, Tomas
