Steel Penny Games

It's been a while since we've announced anything, owing largely to the fact that most of our work has been property of someone else for a while now, but today is probably as good as any to point out places where you can find our handiwork in recent months.

I just saw Wipeout The Game (based on the TV show) recently hit the shelves for the Wii a couple of weeks ago.  The coolest part about that game is their water rendering tech.  Of course I'd say that, it's mine.

A new Unity-based game will be added to Action All-Stars very soon.  It's something Steel Penny Games worked on since February and I have to say, it's a whole lotta of action-packed fun!  No, I'm not at liberty to disclose the sport or details, so watch their blog for details in the coming months.

The Force Unleased 2 is due out in just a few months  and by the way looks amazing.  The Wii version, which we're helping Red Fly Studio with, is a completely Wii-ified experience that is not only better playing than most other Wii titles, but better looking than many next gen games.  Kudos to the team!  We've been working hard on this one since last October, and I'm happy to say it's one of the best titles on my resume.  My particular focus has been writing the entire camera system from scratch--no small feat for a 3rd person game--but also handling some player controls and dynamic cinematics (you'll see).  Jeff has been busy writing the multiplayer experience, which I personally believe is at the top of the pack when it comes to best party games on the platform.  It's deeper than most other whole games, and it's just one mode in TFU2 Wii!

As for SPG, in our copious free time we've been busy prototyping things as usual.  We have finally selected a project that we like and are charging ahead with it.  Not ready to talk about it yet, but rest assured we're in pre-production on something we think is great.
