We need to come up with a different name for our game Light Bikes. As most of you know, LightBike is now taken. We need to rebrand our game and want to allow the users to vote on it. So please head over to Touch Arcade and vote! NOW!
So, back at iPhone Dev Camp 2, we entered the competition with a TRON style game for the iPhone. We called it Light Bikes. Since iPhone Dev Camp 2, we have rewritten pretty much all the code and the game uses a 3D engine. We are using OpenGL and OpenAL. It supports 4 players over WiFi. Each player uses a separate device.
The first version we are doing has a overhead camera view. We are putting in support for different camera views for 1.1. The game will mostly likely be pushed to the App Store this weekend.
It came to a surprise a few weeks back when we seen another company stole our name (LightBike) to ride on our coat tales with all the websites and press we had generated over the past few months.
Pretty sad if you ask me. So, because of this, we are going to be rebranding our Light Bikes game as Neo Riders.
Be looking for reviews on Touch Arcade and other sites for Neo Riders.
UPDATE: I have removed the statement about the source code. I was contacted by Pankaku, Inc and they have assured me that they built their version from the ground up. I apologize for posting information based on a source that was incorrect.
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.
The DS Media Labs team sponsored and attended iPhoneDevCamp 2. I have to say, it was pretty damn cool. We took part in the hackathon and received honorable mention for Light Bikes. We would have taken first if we would have had an idea that was fresh and new.
Or next game at DS Media Labs is called Light Bikes. It is a Tron light bike game. We wrote all the code in 14 hours at the hackathon and actually got a playable demo showing off the concept. We also finished up our Menu system and score tracking back end. It turned out really good.
Make sure you attend next year! It was a blast.
Check out our new site and Light Bikes.
