A First Person Shooter Game!

Recently we are working on a new iPhone game, a first person shooter type of game. And the aim of the development is to challenge the iPhone hardware through advanced 3D graphic element, accurate representation of gravity, lighting, collisions (which of course will be handled by SIO2 Engine) to provide realistic look and feel, as well as (actually especially) push the user interaction and social aspect of the game to another level.

Below is a character model that I'm working on at the moment, to share with you.

What is OpenFeint?

Heard the word "OpenFeint" mentioned a couple of times, and it seems that it has big appeal on the iPhone games published these days. So I dig a little, and found that it's actually an interesting tool. It can be considered as an iPhone developer's tool to help them provide social functionality in their app to their users, as well as a promotion tool to help their users to find their app easily, since users can communicate between each other in the game which has OpenFeint integrated. And this can be really helpful since nowadays it's just became more and more difficult for people to find your app in the whole app store database.

We are going to try it out inside some of our game and check the result and performance.
