ô, we have created JUST ANOTHER PIECES game!

hbStark first Racing Game

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:42:43 +0000

It will be called Road Fighter 3D, based on Konami’s MSX classic.

We’re using an amazing 3d engine created by Rocha Software. Here’s a screenshot of the game using the 70′s vintage renderer…

Developed entirely on a MSX with PASCAL and compiled for the iOS 5 platform.

App Store has now over half a million apps! That’s really a lot. Of course 90% are crap, but, we’re most probably included on those 90%!

Sum that to an App Store with a lot of bugs (Harry Pooper only appeared as a “New App”, three days after its launch) and our conclusion is:

We’re dropping iOS development.

At the beginning it was funny & profitable.

Now, it’s a pain in the “neck”, we’re not making any money and I’m really tired of using OSX and XCODE. OSX is a system for Mainstream users. The best OS for them, by far.

But, we need a new hobby.

Android is not an option: I refuse to code in Java and the multi-device/multi-resolution paradigm is going to kill Android soon.

Microsoft & Nokia, in our opinion, have a killer package for 2012:

Top Operating System (Mango)
Top Hardware
Top Development Tools
Integration with XBOX 360, Kinect and Windows 8

So, that’s the way we’re heading for 2012.

Thank you all.

Harry Pooper Approved and Available @ the AppStore

Prince Poopward Cullen, the son of a widowed King, is the subject of envy and anger from the king’s new wife. The vain and jealous Queen quitely locks Cullen away in the main tower of Poopwarts with neither stairs nor a door. To complete the ultimate punishment the Queen asks Poopermort, her sadic farting cow, to make sure Cullen will never leave the tower alive. Day after Day, Poopermort tortures Cullen keeping him inside a tiny closet.

Now it’s UP TO YOU, choose one of the four Rainbow Knights and help Poopward Cullen to COME OUT OF THE CLOSET! You know he want’s it, but he needs your HELP!

New App submitted. Next one will be MARIAL ATTACK. Oh! I forgot about the soundpad! Maybe after Marial then.

José Diego Martins came up with a lovely app that will be distributed by hbStark. It’s called Strawberry Shortcake Battery and features Unlimited Strawberry Cupcakes!!!

Next APP will be another soundboard

Our 2nd most popular application is “Gun & Fun”, which is basically a soundboard app. Apart from the sound selection, which I think is one of the best of the app store, Gun & Fun also features an unique PITCH-SLIDER.

Our next app will be another, but not just another, Soundboard. Will be inspired by the KORG Kaossilator:

We’re still thinking on the name, but’ll probably end with “Synthpad”
