Sheep - soon on the AppStore

LAdrian

Hi Guys,
While we are waiting for GS 0.9 to be released so that we can finish Nightmare Escape http://www.reactive4.com we made a small game just for fun. On this one only me and my wife worked, she had the idea and did most of the testing while I was responsible for the rest.
We worked "part time" for about 10 days on this game.
Here is the help screenshot (more and gameplay video soon):

We are currently waiting for Apple to approve us as a company so that we can submit the game.
I would love to be able to use the new pause feature from 0.9 because right now you can't pause the game (well... only if you use the hardware button). Also I'm pretty sure that with 0.89 it doesn't work on a 3G but I don't have any way to test it on that device.

Wooow, it looks great! I love the artstyle!

I can test anything for you on the iPhone 3G, just let me know.

This is looking great. Is it for iPhone or iPad?

Cap

Nice. I think "Sheep" was the name of a Mac game, too (must be about 10 years ago).

Nice graphics! Looks fun to play; good luck with it. :-)

Guys, thanks for the great response!
Even though we didn't worked for this one as long as we did worked (and still are) for Nightmare Escape we put alot of soul in and it was a great fun projects.
So we both are very happy with the response!
I will put more screenshots later today, there are 2 other landscapes, one for each difficulty level. Gameplay video later this week!

@TheMoonwalls: thanks for offering to help us, I'm gonna get back to you when we are gonna be ready to make some external testing.
@juzzcook: it's for iPhone with retina display support.
The plan is to port it for the iPad ASAP (probably after winter holidays).
Also on both platforms we would like to update the game (content wise) as much as possible, releasing new maps, new play modes and new... sheep
It quite easy game to update and I hope it's gonna help get/stay in top.

Again, thanks everyone for the kind words, I'll put more screenshots later today.

Your graphics are great!
You have a very unique style. Is this 3D?

Looks beautiful! Great job.

LAdrian

Thanks guys!
Yes, it's 3d, I'm using XSI for the actual 3d and Fusion for compositing

Hi guys,
Last Friday we submitted Silly Sheep to Apple!

What a great feeling to finish your first game!!!
We plan some great updates for the game as we think it's a good foundation to grow on.

Also, today we are launching the website: http://www.reactive4.com
Gameplay video coming soon!

Also, don't forget our other game, Nightmare Escape! Almost finish, waiting for the GS update: http://www.reactive4.com/games/NightmareEscape/

Thanks QS, I'm very glad you like it!
Even though it's not out yet, we are already working on an update with 3 more levels *Winter special* and with some gameplay diversity.

Love the artwork. What software do you use ?

butterbean

Wow graphics look superb! I will definitely purchase this!

LAdrian

Wow thanks everyone, I didn't expected such a positive feedback
@Jel: I'm using Softimage for the 3d and Fusion for compositing all the render layers

Thanks for the info Adrian. Pretty high end stuff then, I just looked at the prices for Fusion which goes for $5k and Softimage is about $3k. A little out of my league at the moment but you can see the quality.

My background is as a 3d artist so those are the tools that I was already using.

For the stuff I did on this game I could get the same results with blender + gimp (both free) because it's nothing advanced just that the work-flow I'm most comfortable with is XSI and Fusion (currently I'm learning Maya and Nuke)
