New game & The way of the indie dev

With Zombie Rock release around the corner. Other companies are growing interested in hiring EXM Games to develop games for their franchises and use them as powerful marketing tools.

Now that our work with Dotted Music is almost over, we have started working on a casual game for Alienation Xtreme. The game will take place in space, where several spaceships will try to destroy yours. Gameplay wise, the player will have to tap the spaceships to destroy them, however as the game progresses, new enemies with different behaviors will appear making the taping much harder. The tentative name of the game is "x2230 Invaders" and his target audience will be young gamers, so no blood splashes this time. The app will be released on Google play prior to the app-store. Please look forward to play it.

On another topic, If you are looking to break your way into the game industry, this might be your time.

The Unity3D folks are planning to integrate 2D development tools to their engine.

Sure, there are many engines that offer you the tools to develop 2D games, however Unity is one of the engines that can develop for a wide range range of platforms. From mobile devices to game consoles, everything you need is there.

So if you start developing small games with Unity now, you might be able to develop console games in a year or two. Who knows ?, but the tools are there.

The way of the Indie dev is hard, but not an impossible one.

Back to the blood splashes, we are planning to release an in-house game this Halloween. Hopefully our development teams will make it in time and deliver you some nightmares. We'll post more info about it soon.

Thanks for reading
