WoUPs news

While working on the iOS (iPhone/iPad) version of WoUPs I'm adding new features for both Android and iOS builds.
Leaderboards, achievements and G+ support on android, complete GameCenter support for iOS. Plus I've polished and optimized the interface and adding an option that will give the player the chance to change its vocabulary. Enough? It's just the beginning.

WoUPs is here!

Brand new game for the Running Pixel's team,
WoUPs is here!

Several months of development for an innovative gameplay and hours of pure fun.
So, what is WoUPs?

WoUPs is a words game where you will do much more than finding words in an array of chars, you'll be asked rearranging columns of chars to compose words and beat the challenges.
100 levels, 4 dictionary (English, French, Spanish and Italian) dozen of schemes and infinite possibilities.

I'm alive!

I've been so silent lately, someone could think we're doing nothing but... it's not true. I worked hard on a couple of titles for XBLIG, but because I forecast an XBLIG dark future... I'm working to port what I've done on Unity3d and then publish them on every platform available. Port XNA to Unity isn't an easy job... but neither an hard one. I'm very excited because Unity is now a truly multi-platform game engine (they added Win8 and WP8 to their port options). I also asked to be accepted as a indie dev on XBOX ONE! I have a lot of unfinished games that would fit like a glove for the brand new Microsoft console. So, hold on. Toons of news in this last year quarter coming from the Running Pixel's guys (and girls...)

Miner4Ever, playtest the first playable version

Today, ok tonight... here in Italy is 2.30 AM... I'm going to put in playtest my latest XBLIG game, the first after a long long pause.
I'm very proud of this game because I did everything on my own, code, game-play and graphics with except for the BoxArt and the menu backgrounds that are a Benedetta's creation.

What is Miner4ever?

It's more than a Minecraft style game, it's a mining game with several browser games and RTS gameplay elements.
Start building your empire! Mine resources, dig and build structure to increase you hourly production. Miner4Ever will update your production even when you're not playing with it. Miner4Ever is a game where the classic mine crafting game meets the online real time strategy.
