Yes, you read that right! 3 guys 24 hours. Starting with just a skeleton idea; the three of us will implement a complete game from nothing, to full submission to the AppStore within 24 hours. The fun begins on Saturday, March 6th at 9:00am EST. Watch it all unfold LIVE right before your eyes by following our Blog at http://www.creature24.com during the event. Each of us will be posting updates on our progress throughout the day. Youll be able to view sketches, graphics and screenshots as and when theyre made, listen to sound effects and music as theyre created, and comment on any post that we make on the site. Its not just fun for us though YOU (yes, YOU!) can participate in the process too! Simply by following @Creature24hr on Twitter your Twitter name will be included in the Fan Wall shown within the game! Well also be asking for input and ideas on specific topics throughout the event; so something YOU suggest could directly make it into the game! We will also be looking for 10 AdHoc testers to look at builds and provide feedback to us; all testers will be listed in the in-game credits! Details will be posted on the Blog during the event. As an added bonus, we are currently working on obtaining licenses for some great software giveaways! Not only will you see us talking about the software were using, YOU can also become eligible to win a license for that software! If youre an aspiring iPhone/iPod touch developer in any capacity, nows your chance to get some super Mac applications for free! Pretty soon youll be doing your own 24-hour project!

You might even walk away with some pretty slick software to help you develop your own games, or get to see one of your ideas make it into the game itself! See you there!
nice. following on twitter. in how much detail are you going to share the project? would be nice if you show photos of your setup, show your planning, and comment on your thought process as the day goes on. the more detail the better.
Oh yeah! We're going to post sketches, pixel-work, music and sound effects, and take pics all throughout! We'll also have an Artcam setup.
sounds good. i just checked out polyhedra and what an adictive game. if creature24 is even half as inventive it would rock.
Thanks! Glad you like it! We secured the first software for the giveaway yesterday: Pixelmator. And we just got confirmation of the second this morning! We'll make a post on www.creature24.com soon! So exciting!
Trailer Video We just added a short trailer video to the site. Check it out! http://www.creature24.com/2010/03/trailer-video/
You could win a Promo Code! Try to take your best guess what the game is going to be based on the trailer and if it's close-enough, you win a Promo Code (once it's released). http://www.creature24.com/2010/03/trailer-video/
