Well, that's not true. Some sleep.

I've been hired by an old friend of mine to do pixel art and audio for a small iPhone game he's working on. He has a working prototype on his end, but we've given ourselves eight days to turn that into a fully-fledged end product, with all mecahnics/graphics/audio/etc in place.

Here's the blog where you can read more about it and follow our progress:

Quick mockup, pretty close to how it'll look minus the HUD:

EDIT: On a side note, I've been pixelling for 11 hours and 15 minutes straight now. Sorry, wrist!

Wow, that looks really cool. I like how the playing field curves down.

Thanks guys!
Work is going way faster than we ever expected, this could be finished this weekend. If this does well it'll be the most worthwhile 5 days of my life. :)

Oh, neat!

I feel like I've played this before - was it originally a flash game?

Actually, it's based an old Game Maker game called Medieval Clash. I don't have a link handy but I'm sure it's pretty easy to find... wickedly addictive game mechanics, which obviously is just what we need. :)

Thanks :) (also thanks to Verious for providing that link)
I cannot believe how fast this is moving. I certainly wouldn't mind working on games like this fairly regularly...

~Josiah

EDIT: Around 90% done... Jeez. We may very well be finished tomorrow! (Sunday)

Well, all the essentials are in place as of yesterday, and I finished the last of the work assigned me today. Stephen fixed the last major bug and the rest looks like simple polish and approval. :)

This game is ridiculously solid and addictive.

Alright, finally finished everything except actually submitting it to apple. These last few days were really just polish, so it turned out extremely nice-- beyond our expectations for sure.

Everyone cross your fingers for the submission process! :)

More screenies: (don't want to cram too many images in here)
