After six weeks of polishing and porting we present you Pitman, the iOS game! Thanks to Unity it was (relatively) easy to make a version of “Pitman Krumb” that runs on iPhone and iPad.

The controls were optimized for the different sizes of the phone and the pad, and of course the interface and the balancing of the gameplay got an overhaul. We also added a new type of dungeon and a new enemy. You can get a free test version on the App Store, and of course buy the full game there, too.

The reason why we decided to make Pitman our first commercial game is that we had so much fun participating in this challenge – so we dropped our “real” project and did this instead.

So, thanks again for this opportunity to the organizers, and all the other challengers! It was a very cool experience!

I didn’t manage to finish my roguelike for 7DRLC 2011, ZombieRL, in time. In the end I actually found the idea rather boring. It’s kinda hard to develop a decent storyline centred around mindless zombie-killing, and the kind of horror atmosphere I was aiming for is really hard to do well in a roguelike.

So I plan to make an out-of-challenge 7DRL called Orc Redemption. In Orc Redemption, you will play as an orc who has decided to defect from the underground empire and warn the human colonies up above of an impending invasion. Your character will need to sabotage, fight, assassinate, and stealthily make his or her way to the surface. The other orcs will react accordingly…

Wish me luck.
