Warco, our game about journalism in a war zone is now getting its first peek into the public. Check out our Warco page for some screens and the trailer taken from our first playable.
Warco (one of our top secret in development projects, about which more information soon) won a Freeplay Award for Best Art! Great to see people in the Australian indy community getting behind it!
Also, for everyone craving a bit of Rocket Bunnies on their e-reader, the Nook version is now available!
The first glimpse of our latest project, Quick Quest!
Action! Leveling up! Loot! Chaos! All of these things and more!
On winning the NBA Championship. Clearly, their top secret Mavs AR training regime is what got them there – and you can check out the civilian version free on Android – check out Hoops AR in the sidebar!
Check the side bar over there, and get get get your Rocket Bunny on! Now for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and any other Apple powered bunny browsing device.
We’re about to depart for the Augmented Reality Event in Santa Clara. On May 17th and 18th you’ll be able to find Defiant showing off some of our new and shiny AR projects on the exhibition floor, and at 3pm on the 18th Morgan Jaffit will be speaking on “Traditional Game Dev. in AR, challenges and triumphs”
Hope to see you there!
Just in time for the playoffs, a small project we developed for the Dallas Mavericks with BigPlayAR and Qualcomm has just gone live. Check out MavsAR on the Android market, if you’ve got a playoff ticket!
Inch High Stunt guy picked up the second place prize in the Qualcomm augmented reality developer challenge! We’re keen to show the world how much fun you can have with a miniature stunt man racing across your desktop – keep an eye out for more news!
A couple of Defiant Development projects are featured in the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Challenge video, and hopefully in the running for the prize (announced Feb 15th).
You’ll see quite a lot of footage from Inch High Stunt Guy, our AR sandbox game featuring a tiny, crazy, stuntman. There’s also a few frames of Bankshot, our AR basketball game. Lots more AR news coming out of Defiant (including commercially available versions of Bankshot and Inch High) in the next few months.
Here in Australia, we know how to deal with hardship. Droughts one week, floods the next. The office got shut down for a bit (but all is okay) and the water came within a couple of blocks of some of our houses (but they’re all okay). We did lose internet for a bit, which isn’t the same as losing everything you own, but still sucks.
Being Aussies, we don’t cry over spilled water. We fight back. Rather than let the waters crush us, we’ve instead developed a frankly bloody amazing update to Rocket Bunnies. Version 1.1.0 is the official, no holds barred, magnificent flood edition of Rocket Bunnies. We do it for you!
- New Galaxy! Another 30 levels of challenge awaits you in the depths of the Arachnid Galaxy.
- New Enemies! Dodge Orb Weavers and the Red-Back At The Center of the Universe.
- New Obstacles! Avoid explosive mines and don’t get trapped in the webs.
- Hats! Everybody loves hats! This update ads the Sombrero and the Top Hat – find them hidden inside the levels!
A massive shout out to the Android community for helping us catch bugs and add features. Your comments and feedback have helped us make this the best Rocket Bunnies yet. Here’s some things the community has helped with :
- Reduction of size on SD-Card was fixed as a priority.
- No crash on screen lock.
- Addition of a little bit of narrative set-up – check out the revised 1st level in the Carrot Galaxy to see what we’ve added!
- Lots of subtle improvements to the shell and navigation in order to make the interface clearer.
- Removed the need to check phone status. Now runs with less permissions and less intrusiveness.
- Turn off sound and music from the pause menu.
Thanks for all the comments, feedback and reviews!
