Create your own games from your doodles with Engineous Games’ new shooter creator…
At GDC last month, Matt got hands-on with this game, as well as putting the game to the test on creating a basic shooter game in just 2 minutes (see video below).
Out now on iPhone for $0.99 it lets you create your own games, either by taking a picture of your doodles with the iPhone camera or by importing drawings through the photo library (so Touch and iPad users can play too). Once imported into the game, you can choose where to place enemies, power-ups and level obstacles and pick weapon patterns. If your art skills are not up to scratch then you can use the preinstalled art packs or simply download other users’ games. Facebook connect allows sharing of games around the world, including scores and game ratings.
“Sketch Nation Shooter was created to revolutionize the gaming experience. We wanted to give the power back to gamers, allow their imagination to run wild and be game developers regardless of their age or technical abilities,” said Nitzan Wilnai, CEO of Engineous Games. “Aside from creating your own game in just a few minutes, to me, the social features make the game complete. Users will always have new games to download so they will always have something new to play.”
