A ‘Captain Obvious’ video (obviously!) :D

Posted in Captain Obvious, Games, Mac, News, art, iPad, iphone, ipod, video, youtube on May 1st, 2012 by George K

Hey all!

Here’s a quick prototype vid for Captain Obvious!

I’ll let Shaz from Honeytribe Studios fill you in!

Developed during Game Hack 2012, a 24 hour game jam held at Pinewood Studios in the UK April 28th-29th.

24 hours may not seem like a lot of time to make a game. And you’re right, it isn’t. So we’re going to work on the game some more before we let it roam free in the app store jungle.

Developers:
Quantum Sheep: www.quantum-sheep.com
Honey Tribe Studios: www.HoneyTribeStudios.com
Old Kipper

So we started a game…

And in 24 hours came nowhere near to finishing it!

Apparently we got honourable mentions from the Sony and BlueVia reps there! That’s so awesome (I headed home and slept for 12+ hours straight so wasn’t there at the time! I was a knackered sheepy!)

Who knows, maybe Captain Obvious will become a full game some day!

Anyway, here are some screenshots!

A big thank you to my team-mates Shaz (from honeytribestudios) and Old Kipper!

Also a big thanks to everyone involved in setting up the game hack event. It was intense, tiring, but a lorra lorra fun ‘n’ laughs were had!

QS :D

Air Supply is on the cover of a book! :O

How lovely to see that! I had no idea!

I suppose I have to buy the book now… ;)

Another WIP shot of ProjectSAMMY :D

Posted in Adventure, App, Games, News, art on January 27th, 2012 by George K

Hello! Hope you’re well! :)

This is the second screenshot from ProjectSAMMY. Hope you enjoy it!

I’m having a real blast making this right now! I don’t think it’ll be done before March sometime, but I’ll release more shots when I’m comfy showing them!

The pic featured, and the one before, are based (hopefully obviously!) in a crypt. That’s all I’m going to say about it!

I’m working out story details right now! If Star Wars: The Old Republic has taught me anything this past month, it’s that story is important!

I have about $200m less in my budget for ProjectSAMMY. Let’s see what I can do ;)

Thanks for reading!

A quick update!

Posted in Adventure, art on January 17th, 2012 by George K

Hi all!

I’m reticent to post ‘work in progress’ shots of upcoming games, but I wanted to show you all I’m still here and still working on new stuff!

So, with that said, here’s a preview shot of ‘ProjectSAMMY’.

Hope you like it!

ProjectSAMMY will be an adventure game and I hope to add a bit of Quantum Sheep magic to it too!

I’ve made adventure games before, of course, but they were text adventures for the PC. Lots of fun to make too, so I’m excited to be working on this!

At the moment my time is split between this and Air Supply SOS – I’m hoping to settle on one or the other by the end of the month and get something finished by March/April.

So, yeah. I’m still here!

Yay!

QS :D

Here comes the Sun! :D

Almost!

Good progress made is the good news coming out of Sheep Towers! The game is done – it works – you can play from start to finish.

I’ve implemented GameCenter leaderboards for each level, and put in the level progression. It’s all *touch wood* working!

I am having some sound issues, and there are about 100 small things that need tidying up. But it’ll be with the testers in the next day or so, just to give it the all clear.

Hopefully submitting by Thursday/Friday this week, for a release the week after.

HOPEFULLY!!!

Fingers crossed, eh?

Here’s another pic to keep you going!


Cheers,

QS :D

Blimey, this is taking a while!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been working on Sunshine (!) trying to get it just the way I want it. It’s coming along ok. I’m *hoping* to have something for the testers this weekend.

But then I’ve been saying that for a few weeks now :O

Sorry!

To tide you over, here’s another work in progress screenshot.

Again, it doesn’t give much away, but I hope it intrigues/charms/scares you (delete as applicable!).

Keep looking for the sun! :D

A couple more reviews are in! And we love them! :D

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, Music, News, art, iphone, ipod, retro on April 8th, 2011 by George K

Hello, lovelies! Hope you’re well! :D

I got a couple more reviews in for Air Supply – and they’re both a jolly good read!

First up is a pocketgamer.co.uk review, which you can find here.

Some snippets:

“It’s fast, familiar, and fun, giving you everything you want in an endless runner.”

“Air Supply has enough charm and good content to make stand with the best endless running games”

And secondly, here’s a very ‘deep’ review from KillScreen. It’s beautifully written, and I really enjoyed reading it, and hope you do too!

Air Supply is currently available for iphone and ipod touch, here.

Thanks everyone! The adventure continues! :D

Another Air Supply review rolls in!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, New and Noteworthy, News, Shooter, art, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, science, screenshots, shmup, space, stars on March 9th, 2011 by George K

Hello lovely people!

We’ve had another awesome Air Supply review over at technobrains.com

You can read it here.

Some choice quotes for you:

“The graphics in Air Supply are deliciously retro. And I’m not talking about that garbage where people draw really poor graphics and call it “old school”. It’s clear that a lot of effort was put into making the graphics look like they belong on a pre-NES console. What it proves to me is that such graphics could actually look pretty cool!”

“The bottom line is that this game rocks! As it is I’ve become strangely drawn to this genre of game, but Air Supply has kicked my obsession to a new level. I love the look, I love the music, and I love trying to unlock all the unlockables.”

“If you do not own this gem yet, go out and buy it now.”

We’re so excited and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response the game has got since launch on Friday!

Thank you everyone that bought it, played it, enjoyed it, reviewed it and then wrote to us to tell us!

Cheers!

Air Supply is available on the App Store now, and can be found here.

Air Supply reviewed!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, New and Noteworthy, News, Shooter, art, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, shmup, space, stars on March 8th, 2011 by George K

Hello lovely people!

The equally lovely people at ‘Allabouthtegames’ posted their thoughts on our latest game, Air Supply, which you can find here:

All About The Games Air Supply Review

Some choice cuts:

“For a game that’s supposed to represent a quick ten minute blast, it’s surprising how easy it is to soak up hour after hour playing Air Supply.”

“Levels are varied enough to make you wonder just how tough it can get later on, and what nastiness the alien world will throw at you next. ”

“there’s plenty of fun to be had for the single player with achievements a-plenty to find as well as the lure of each episode of jump-shootery mayhem.”

“It’s a great little game, and if your i-Device is already chock full of delicious little distractions like this, there’s definitely room for one more in the shape of Air Supply. ”

In additional news, Air Supply has been featured by Apple in New and Noteworthy ‘Arcade’ and ‘Action’ categories!

Thank you everyone for your support! We hope Air Supply finds a place in your heart (and iphone) soon! :D
