From the beginning of the semester the project iDev team always looked at how to create new and innovative game experiences for the iPhone.  Over the course of the semester we developed ten prototypes that explore different ways to interact with the iPhone.  After this prototyping process we decided to take two of these functional prototypes and created two full games that we spent a lot of time polishing and playtesting.

For our first prototype, Mismos, we projects we are pleased to announce that our vertical slice of the game it available in the Apple app store.  This game is a puzzle platformer where the player controls multiple avatars with the iPhone, additionally the game includes three different levels with three different game mechanics which show our innovative control mechanics. We welcome you to download our app from the app store and let us know what you think.

Additionally our second project Move It! has been submitted to IGF Mobile where we still await confirmation, but in case anybody is interested, check out this promotional video and let us know if you would like to play. We might be able to hook you up =).

Finally, we are sad to living the Silicon Valley campus, and we would like to thank EA Redwood Shores for giving us an amazing experience.  Not only they let us stay in their amazing facilities, where we had a great cafeteria, game library rentals, great office space, but they were a great source of feedback from our project, so we would like to take the thank all the people here that saw that group of loud students in the office and wondered about what crazy stuff were we doing.

We welcome you to check our project website at www.iiidesign.com where we will continue our development of iPhone games, and for all of the students that are interested in the Silicon Valley campus, we can say we had an amazing experience and you shouldn’t think twice about coming here.

Project iDev – Introduction

Monday, September 21st, 2009 posted by ben

iiiidesign logoProject iDev is a student pitched project focused on developing innovative games for the iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices, publishing these games to the app store, and building the framework that will enable us to continue creating games as an independent design collective.

After much debate we have decided to call our team iiii design: a collective composed of four game designers exploring new areas of meaningful play on the iPhone and iPod touch mobile devices.

Everyone has just started week 5, and we have been able to get a ton of content completed in the first four weeks. We decided to develop prototypes both individually and as a team to help us learn how to program Objective C, work with X code, use some open source engines, get acquainted with the SDK, and delve into experimental gameplay as much as possible.

We have developed eight prototypes and continued to polish and develop two of them that we feel deserve a little more love. We have posted information about our prototypes on our website blog. Our next step will be developing a full game by 1/2s and ramping up our marketing and business efforts.

Keep checking the ETC_SV blog or our project website (www.iiiidesign.com) to see how we are progressing or feel free to get in touch with us on our contact page in regards to anything related to iPhone development, our project, or the Silicon Valley ETC campus.

Cheers,
