Hello everyone! Hope you’re well!

We’ve just submitted our latest iPhone game –  “Air Supply – 1bit Run” to Apple! Yay!

The app, formerly codenamed ‘Project Air’, is a run’n’gun game and features some beautiful black and white graphics, along with some awesome 1bit music by Mister Beep!

It’ll be out soon, so keep an eye out for more info in the coming days!

Here’s the blurb, plus a sneak peak at the game!

*** Your AIR is running out! ***

Ambushed on a standard trade journey between Lave and Diso, Spaceman Sam is shot down by pirates!

Now, stranded on an alien Moon, Sam must run for his life, avoiding meteorites, fearsome UFOs and enemies such as robots, aliens, and Space Monkey Zombie Pirate Cyborgs(!), hoping in vain to stay alive long enough to be rescued!

Features:

*Pure awesome gameplay: Run, jump, shoot, collect!

*Gorgeous Retina Display 1bit graphics in glorious black and white!

*Cosmic 1bit music by Mr. Beep, made using a ZX Spectrum! Six tracks to unlock!

*Grab powerups! Slow down your speed, grab a full tank of air, or protect yourself with shields!

*Gain ranks based on kills – from ‘Harmless’ to the coveted title of ‘Elite’.

*Unlock everything! Play the game to unlock new characters, backgrounds, enemies, music and even colour!

*Special Guest appearances!

*15 Achievements to attain!

*Fully iOS4 compatible

*More unlocks coming in updates!

*Amazingly addictive – just ask our testers! 😀

**How long will you last before your Air Supply runs out???**

Hello everyone!

Apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been very busy!

Quantum Sheep, as a company, is kinda growing.

As well as an update to Attack of the Kraken, I’m working on a number of projects at the moment, including:

Project ‘1984’

Project ‘s’

Project AWE

Gravitrix

The first two I’ve been working on for many, many months now.

Project 1984 is a retro shooter, with some of the most awesome music you’ll ever hear from some very talented people! It stands a snowball’s chance in hell of being ‘successful’ thanks to its dated (did I say ‘dated’ – I meant ‘retro’!) look. It really will redefine the term ‘niche’ 😛

Project ‘S’ was started about a year ago, and has been put on the back burner due to time constraints on myself and the lovely guy who’s doing all the cutesy graphics. I may, in the meantime, make a quick ‘card match’ game for the iPad as an offshoot of the main game. The graphics already submitted are just wonderful.

Project Awe is so secret I can’t even tell you what kind of game it is. In a massive departure from the norm, the game is being made by a group of people that will form a subsidiary of Quantum Sheep. This means the Sheep will effectively become a publisher!

There’s business plans, cost assessments, team meetings (in the pub!), a development schedule, a game design… It’s all very serious! :O No release date for that, but I’m hoping we’ll have something to show people towards Christmas! I hope you’ll like it!

Gravitrix is new. My colleague Jake and I thought it up two days ago, and today we have an almost fully working prototype to play with which is fun as a proof of concept. Three test levels have been made, and Jake and I will share the level building duties. It’s a ‘quick’ game, but that still probably means a few weeks till release!

I’m hoping that Project 1984, Project S and Gravitrix will all be out by the end of November. These things tend to take time though. We’ll see what happens!

In addition, we’ve commissioned a new look website that we hope you’ll like. Don’t worry, all the info here will be integrated into it. Hopefully we won’t lose any of my musings!

So. Busy busy busy! Just wanted to keep the lovely visitors to this place appraised of what’s going on!

The few remaining months of 2010 will be very exciting indeed!

Hi all,

Our latest game, Attack of the Kraken (formerly known as ‘Project K‘), is almost ready! We’re hoping to submit to Apple this week, with a pencilled in release date of July 23rd!

It’s a side scrolling classic shoot ’em up, inspired by John Wyndhams awesome book, ‘The Kraken Wakes’ aswell as classic games like Attack of the Mutant Camels and Defender.

The graphics were supplied by debugdesign – we can’t recommend them enough!

We’re extremely proud of this game, and hope you’ll give it a go if it takes your fancy! We’ll be giving more details here once it’s submitted.

So, anyway, on with the show!

‘Project K’ is coming along nicely. So nearly done, and yet so much yet to do.

Release is pencilled in for July 10th, though it may slip a week (and more than likely will).

In the meantime, here’s some very sneaky pics!

Enjoy!
