Project report – and multiplayer news

Last time I wrote I mentioned the new Open Feint multiplayer functionality I had just “sorta” added to the game.

Well, a lot has been happening on the multiplayer front and things are really moving.  By utilising OF and their push notifications, I’ve set up a framework so you can play up to 10 games simultaneously with up to 10 different friends and get notified right when it’s your turn to play again.

This is really exciting, and the framework is in place to play any kind of “Play By Push” game.

I can’t show you it in action though because I’ve been collaborating with a talented 3D artist on a new (currently secret) title.  It’s another turn based strategy game and uses much of the same technology as Isochron.  Once that other game is nearing completion I’ll incorporating all the cool multiplayer and turn based features into Isochron.

But don’t feel like Isochron is sitting on a shelf waiting for me to get back to it – far from it.  I’ve been busy working with other more creative types too to put together story and artwork to really lift the game.  I get really excited proofing all the stories and critiquing the artwork so I hope you’re just as excited when you get to see them.
