Our first game project is well underway and it’s due to be released this fall. It’s a 8-bit retro styled shooter titled “Shuttle Scuttle”. It’ll be available for iPhone, iPod and iPad as a Universal application and will also be available for Mac (we’re planning on having both versions released at the same time). It has a fun engaging storyline and a bunch of references to 80s gaming – including the famous Konami code (aka Contra code) hidden within.

Here’s a sample of the sprite sheet containing a bunch of the game’s graphics in progress:

We did a search a few months ago for musicians who specialize in creating music based on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) to keep the music in tune with the 8-bit retro look. I’m glad to have found Inverse Phase - he’s been busy working on the entire soundtrack. Check out the following video to hear a sampling of the music created thus far:

We’ll have more to show as development gets closer to completion. We’d be glad to hear your comments along the way.
