    Hi, we at Treehouse Ltd. are happy to announce our Iphone/Ipod Touch game "1951 - World War I" is out now!

    Gameplay trailer:



    Setting

    It's 1951 and First World War is about to begin!

    On June 28th 1914 separatist assassination attempt against Franz-Ferdinand, Austrian heir of throne, failed miserably. Gavrilo Princip took aim and pulled the trigger only to find his gun clicking, feebly. The gun was jammed and Grand Duke escaped unscathed.

    With this single mechanical failure the seed of First World War was never sown, and without the humiliation of Versaille's there was no wind to fan the flames for a second one. Adolf Hitler had to make his living as a mediocre marketplace artist at the streets of Vienna instead of becoming the dangerous, dictatorial dreamer he would otherwise have been. But without two global wars to drive the technology forward the world of 1951 remains much like the world at the turn of the century - colonialism upholding imperial economies and withering alliances cemented with royal marriages. It's Imperialism iced with biplanes and rock'n roll!

    Without that assassination, would Franz Ferdinand's namesake band be called something different, I wonder? :p

    REALLY into the concept. I am a filmmaker/actor/singer (and have previously written, directed and produced a film set in WW2 - see http://www.afc.gov.au/filmsandawards/recentfilms/cannes04/feature_110.aspx - anyway, I would love to just shoot some video sequences, indie-style, to help deliver this concept, provide you with great cutscenes & add this credit to my portfolio in return. Can we talk further?

    Most of the maneuvering is done on the same altitude, but addition to that you can perform special moves like Immelmann fully 3d

    Well we certainly took our sweet time, but the game has now been submitted to Apple for review. We're quite satisfied with the result and look forward to seeing how you guys like it.

    The OP has been updated with a gameplay trailer and some extra screenshots to whet your appetite a little bit. We'll keep you updated as soon as Apple does their thing.
