    Hey all,

    My name is Rune Holm and I’m a programmer at Copenhagen Creators Associated.

    Over the next couple of days I’m going to release information and media regarding our upcoming game Killer Snake.
    The Game will be released for iOS, including iPhones and iPad, on thursday the 28th of February 2013.

    This post will be updated with more media later today, monday, wednesday
    and possibly also thursday as the game is being launched.

    Hopefully you will find it interesting and will contribute with interesting questions regarding the game and company.
    I will then try to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

    The Game
    [​IMG]

    Killer Snake is a single-player game for iOS devices that requires fast reactions and nerves of steel.
    The game features stunning high quality 3D graphics and impressive sound.

    In the game you must travel the world encountering the most dangerous snakes in the attempt to capture the snakes and drain them for venom. This way, the venom may be used to produce antivenom which in turn is used to cure snake bite victims.

    At every encounter the player must provoke the snake to obtain more venom, while at the same time avoiding it’s deadly strike. This means the player is awarded points for being cool, calm and fearless.

    The game is released as freemium with limited in-app advertising, and contains the possibility to purchase additional in-game coins via in-app purchases. Game Center is supported, and there are 31 achievements to be obtained and 6 leaderboards to compete in.

    The company
    [​IMG]
    Copenhagen Creators is a start-up game studio formed in 2012.

    With Killer Snake we aim to create an engaging game with a high level of graphics that will stand out from many of the other cartoonish app games currently available on mobile devices. We want to generate a scare effect for the users by means of realistic graphics and by playing on one’s emotions towards snakes.

    At the same time we seek to contribute to help solve the problem of fatalities from snake bites, through donations to various companies that work to eliminate these fatal situations.

    • This is the app store icon as it appears in the App Store and on the Home Screen.
    • We went through two iterations and had three different people work on the icon used.

    Additionally I was able to take some screenshots using a collegues iPhone 4 this morning.
    No additional effects have been added, so it's the pure in-game visuals you see!

    Pics are pretty dark. Any video, so we can see some game play aspects? This seems interesting, so I'll keep an eye on it.

    Hey all, glad to hear of your interest in our game. It is much appreciated.
    We hope it will be equally well received when we release it on thursday :)

    I will see if I can answer your questions and comments below:

    @workingman
    Yes, the goal is, as you may already have found, to find and catch snakes.
    - However, finding them is usually the easy part!

    Furthermore, there are 6 different levels each offering increased difficulty.
    So even hardcore gamers should find some of them challenging :)

    @bigrand1
    You are quite right, the pictures I've uploaded are pretty dark.
    The continents have different time of day and lighting depending on the location.
    For example South America has lighting to fit the dense rain forest you are in.

    Regarding a gameplay video:

    Tomorrow we will release the trailer for the game.
    This will show in-game footage, although only a short glimpse.
    I don't think it will provide you with enough to satisfy your curiosity, but you are still most welcome to check it out.

    I doubt we will have be able to create a gameplay video prior to the release - although we would have liked to...
    So for now I will simply suggest you check it out yourself directly on an iOS device, once the game is released. :)

    So is it a midnight release, or a worldwide release? This game looks like fun. But what exactly are the coins used for?

    We are quite happy to announce that Killer Snake have appeared in the news on Pocket Gamer:
    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Killer+Snake/news.asp?c=48899

    We are all very excited about the publicity and the kind words :)

    @sawyer4325:
    The release time is in the hands of Apple as we have simply set availability date to the 28th.
    From what I understand the game will be made available according to local time.
    This means New Zealand will have it before I get a chance myself. :)

    The coins are first and foremost used to unlock the different continents.
    At the same time, they give limited access to undo unfavourable outcomes from snake encounters.
    Furthermore, unlocking all continents will unlock World Tour Game.

    Luckily you won't have to wait much longer until you are able to try it all out yourself. :)

    I tried it. I wish it was more of an open world exploration game. The graphics are amazing and the snakes are cool but its really just a reaction test game. Actually walking around searching would have been so cool.
