The Late Call Gets New Tech Loving & Interview
.: Unity v2 Goodness :.
Technology Loving: ByDesign Games is pleased to announce The Late Call will use the very latest Unity technology from Over The Edge.
Previously, The Late Call utilized the 1.x codebase of Unity, but after discussion with OTEE, it became clear that porting the game to their soon-to-be-released v2 engine is definitely worth the time.
The upside is that The Late Call will look better & play faster on many more machines (even many older machines). The downside is that it will take a little longer to wrap it up. We continue to target a Summer release, though the game likely won't be available before the end of August.
So stay tuned and we'll get The Late Call out to you just as soon as humanly possible!
New Interview: Early in July, Joe took a few minutes to chat with Mac Radio & their iGameRadio show about how ByDesign Games got started, The Late Call, how breathing in a game doesn't have to be adult-orientated (zoink!), and why Wayne Gretzky is truly great.
Listen in on the show here!
So that's all for this update! August is shaping up to be a very exciting month for ByDesign Games, so until next time.. have fun!
