Hi!

UPDATE, OUT NOW!

We’re finalizing “Sheep Abduction”, a game for the iPhone. I think it will be ready next week.

This game concept has been brainstormed on during Unity 2008. Jon from Graveck Patrik from Shiftcontrol worked with us on a prototype during the conference. Fun, and great to meet really talented Unity guys.

When we got home we decided to “start over” to make it run on the iPhone smoothly, as well as alter the game concept in order to create better gameplay.
For example, instead of using PhysX, we created our own system to get better performance.

The game is a combo between 2D and 3D artwork.

Hope you like em!

Ha, that’s very slick. The art is very well stylized. Do you have some game play videos?

3

Hi! Not yet, we’re still working on some technical issues.

Do you know a good way to capture video on Mac/iPhone? Thanks!

4

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the gameplay video. For OS X screen capture I use ScreenFlow - very slick, nice features, easy to use. Video Editing and Screen Recording Software | ScreenFlow

Screenflow looks like da bomb, thanks!

6

I really like the art style, looks like it will be fun. Good work!

7

love the colors/contrast!

This already looked, and sounded, hilarious during Unite but now it just looks amazingly polished. Those sheep crack me up and I can’t wait to see them do that goofy run again :wink:

Awesome job guys,
Ethan

Really like the graphics style, great job!

Thanks Ethan! It was fun to be there! Wait until you hear the music (corny country music with sixties Mars-like theremin sounds)

11

This one looks like fun as well! Sheep-mania all the way :wink: When can I test this thing? Test test… one …two… one…

From one sheep developer to the next, this looks awesome!

13

In fairness to all sheep related Unity iPhone games I’m waiting to buy this as soon as it’s ready (I just bought Sheep Stacker). Can’t wait to see it after those first two days after Unite! :smile:

14

I love it too! Isn’t everything just cuter and funnier with sheep?

15

Thanks for the compliments! It’s under review by Apple now (I thought submitting was a pain :-)) how long does reviewing usually take?

16

Oh nice, this looks a bit like “ElectroCute” from Thomas Lund and Magnus Blikstad. They demoed that on Unite too for the iPhone. Nice! :slight_smile:

17

Yeah - “just the other way around”. Inn our game you protect the sheep. Seems like this one you have to abduct them :smiley:

But great art style! Really like it.

18

Hmm ElectroCute?

I’m curious about that game as well! Seems like sheep are the latest hype :slight_smile:

19

Sheep are timeless!

Great looking game! Is it out yet? :slight_smile:
