    Hello all.
    This is Vital from Damatha Studios. I want to announce our new iOS game to Touch Arcade community.

    Who are Damatha Studios?
    A couple of friends making games in our spare time.
    Check Red Gun, our first title
    TA forum thread

    What is Space Dreads?
    It is an online multiplayer arena (1v1 or 2v2) using Game Center. In it you control a big space ship and try to destoy your oponents.

    Will it be free?
    Yes. If you want to support us, there will be an IAP for ship improvement unlock (just visuals).

    When?
    May 5th!

    WIP screens

    This is for those of you that like the "behind the scenes" stuff.
    Here you have an image of all "normal" versions of Space Dreads spaceships.
    There is an "Elite" version for each spaceship I will upload sometime soon.

    This game is looking pretty nice. I'll definitely be checking this out when it comes out. I love space games. :D

    I'm curious how long the game has been in development.

    Quality stuff. So why are u making it free? This is what people are willing to pay for! Just make a free version that gives a good grip of the game with some multiplayer and throw in an unlocking IAP

    But i suppose the multiplayer wont be online :(

    We have been working on this for about two years, with the first gameplay ideas.
    But we are a small team (the coder and the graphic artist) working on this on spare time, so it's not like a real 2 years game development. We did this because we like making games, the game aims to be easy to catch, simple, and nice.

    We are making it free because it's the best way to get as many players as possible since it's a multiplayer game, we need people to play it :)

    The multiplayer is only online, using Game Center. There is a "practice" mode with a very simple IA, but it's just that, a practice mode.
    It's really hard to make money on the App Store, we did this just because we like it. That's why the IAP is just a visual tweak for nicier spaceships, we don't want an unfair game where the one that pays most kills better.
    The IAP is just too support us keep making games.
    Or you can always buy Red Gun :)
