69p in the app store just now. Has anyone tried it at all? Some comments are that the controls are a bit iffy (as with all touch games that required movement in my opinion). Dear apple, just give us a fucking bluetooth controller ability with your games, I don't want a simulated joystick button.
Is it just me, or do the retro mode spies look much better than the new "retina" versions? The new spies look even less than 2D, if that's possible. :(
Bought anyway, just to see how it all fares and then do a remake that's betterer(tm). :P
One of the games I was going to do for the A Game From A Cover compo was Spy v/s Sniper an unwinnable joke entry where the spy of your choice ran around the Spy v/s Spy world setting traps and stuff then at a random point would get his head blown off by an unseen adversary. It was seeing this game was in production that meant I knocked it on the head before I did more than a couple of sketches on paper.
Did some stylised updates of the classic spies that I'm really proud of. Obvious in their inspiration but not the Mad designs we all know. I went from thinking I couldn't do graphics after having some really talented people work with me this last 18 months to remembering how much I bloody well enjoy doing them and if 'proper' artists think the vast majority of their work is complete and utter shit and so do I then maybe some of the stuff I produce is alright as well. Now if only I had the time to do everything else :)
If I manage to find a scanner around the place that works with any of my machines I'll scan them in and upload them somewhere. I loved cartooning when I was younger.
