Well, after many months of hard work and constant derailments due to client work, we finally released Light Riders (previously Light Bikes). It was first shown at iPhoneDevCamp 2 where we created the first version of it in 12 hours. Let's just say it had to be rewritten :) It now uses a 3D engine we are creating in house called Hurricane. On the iPhone, it utilizes OpenGL ES. For the first version of Light Riders, we used 2D sprites for the bikes and explosions. It has a simple camera over a 2D plane for the board. We really focused on the Multiplayer aspect on this first version. We would love to hear feedback from everyone on it. It supports up to 4 players on LAN now and a new update in the works will support internet play. We are really working hard on the Multiplayer pieces. We want to see 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4 Team Death match in your hands :) Blue team, this is blue leader...
For the next version, we already have our 3D bike models completed. If you have watched any of the videos, you will notice 3D bikes. Those are the same models we are using in the upcoming 3D update. Our competitor has an upper hand with their 3D view, at least for now ;) I only wish I could show you what is coming for Light Riders. It's going to be insane. I can not wait for everyone to get these new updates. I can say, the video is a hint on what is coming your way :)

I will be posting some new iPhone development tutorials here soon. It has been nuts here at DS Media Labs. DS is a small studio of friends and we have developed 20+ iPhone apps in 9 months. I would say we have been pretty busy.
So, at DS we are always looking for good drinking games and making bets. We are always looking at little fun apps we can do in between our normal development sprints. Cause, like everyone else with ADD, you got a feed it with something a bit different once in awhile or you get bored ;)
Touch Roulette was born. You can go check out the YouTube video or the Touch Roulette page at iPhone Studio to get more info. We submitted it to Apple today. We will see how that goes...
We are still working hard on Neo Riders (previously Light Bikes), FLOverload 2.0, and Rogue Sniper. You will see vids, review, and eventually the actual apps on the App Store in the next couple weeks.
Are you sick at Cocoa development, OpenGL, or making pixels do your bidding? Want to be part of a cool company doing really cool things? Check us out at www.dsmedialabs.com and our new iPhone Studio division at iphonestudio.dsmedialabs.com. We are looking for talent to join our team right away.
