Phil talked about our iPhone collaboration in Montreal yesterday. You can also view his presentation slides.
We’re making a game for the Gamma3D event! Gamma is a yearly gathering of independent developers in Montreal organized by Phil Fish. Each year the event is centered around a different theme, and this year’s happens to be stereoscopic 3D.
Chris and I managed to find a good way to do the 3D effect today, so we ran out and bought some 3D glasses at Toad Hall Toys. The game looks awesome in 3D.
Some folks may remember hearing about my entry into last year’s Gamma, Célu.
And wow, I just made two posts in a row that mention Phil. HAWT.
As mentioned on the Wired Blog recently, Phil Fish and I are working on an iPhone game together!
Phil Fish is the creator of Fez, a very promising indie game that picked up “best visuals” at the Independent Games Festival last year. Phil is also a fellow Canadian – in fact, he’s _French Canadian_, which only adds to his awesome.
I’m using a game engine for the iPhone that I’ve been working on with my friend Mark Johns, for a few weeks now. Its loosely based on the engine that I wrote to make Aquaria, and it lets me put together prototypes of new game ideas very quickly.
As far as the game’s concept goes, we don’t want to give too much away at this point – so I’ll leave you with this quote from Phil: “You play as a little dose of medicine inside people’s bodies, and you have to cure them.”
