GDC 09: Touch KO, Circuit Strike One lead Chillingo iPhone slate
All original slate of games to hit from now through the middle of 2009
Publisher of the acclaimed Zen Bound and immensely popular iDracula has more than a dozen new titles in the works specifically for iPhone and iPod Touch.
Speaking with Chillingo during Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, they revealed a wide-reaching slate including boxing simulation Touch KO, top-down shooter Circuit Strike One (crop imaged pictured), and role-playing game SEED.
Director Chris Byatte highlighted the creativity behind his company's line up. "If you're going to compete in well-established genres," he stated, "you must have something special."
Early looks at the impressive 3D brawler Touch KO and shooter Circuit Strike One have an eye for mixing up their respective genres. Joining these titles are a revamped version of Boulder Dash, action-platform game Io, side scrolling shooter with a graffiti theme Underground, and tap-adventure game Return to Mysterious Island.
Two quick casual games are also in the line up: Bullet Skater offers tilt play to avoid getting hit by bullets, while Glide Factor provides touch-driven racing.
Perhaps the most intriguing of the titles Chillingo revealed is a horror trilogy of which little details were shared. Entitled Vampire Origins, the set of games will take a point-and-tap adventure approach to explore the world of vampires.
While Vampire Origins is expected at a later date, all of the titles Chillingo revealed during Game Developers Conference are set to hit the App Store before summer's end.
