Exit Games supports iPhone

Exit Games supports iPhone

Good news for game developers: Apple’s iPhone OS version 3.0 is now out in beta. Next to some 100 new features such as drag & drop (shake the device to make the undo options pop up) what’s currently most interesting from our perspective is that finally it will be possible to use microbilling from within iPhone applications! So not only are you able to quickly develop multiplayer game using our iPhone SDK, but you will also be able to make money after the players have downloaded the game. Let them pay for additional levels, buy in-game items, you name it.

The new OS will officially be out in the summer, but using the beta version you can already start developing your multiplayer game with in-game transactions. This is very exciting!

World Golf Tour - Wolf Creek Course

World Golf Tour - Wolf Creek Course

Those of you already registered with World Golf Tour have received the WGT newsletter and know it – all the others may be interested to hear that our client has added some great features to his HQ online golf game.

Now, the Kiawah Ocean Course can be played on the whole – all 18 holes are included now! If you’re short on time, you can always chose to play only the front 9 or the back 9. And there’s a new challenge out also: Wolf Creek. A quite radical course set in a canyon! If you think you’ve mastered about everything so far, try this one … and cringe.

And here’s a link to all the details of the update: World Golf Tour

And finally, here’s the last part of the unconventional Projekt Deutschlandreise Blog Documentary on Exit Games.

Projekt Deutschlandreise #3 - GolfingSince one of our largest projects is World Golf Tour, it was self-evident that we had to talk about golf.

And go play golf. <gulp>

So this part was shot on a driving range near or offices. It was freezing cold and while Chris gave some clever answers I found out how hard it really is to hit this frickin’ little ball …

Anyway, it was really fun afterall, and here’s the great video blog entry (again, in German): “Golfing with Xeon”

Remember the guys from Projekt Deutschlandreise? They visited us a while ago, shooting a little blog-documentary about Exit Games.

Projekt Deutschlandreise #2 - OriginsThe first part was filmed in a submarine, now the second part is online, shot in our offices. Chris talks about the origins of Exit Games – again, all in German. But maybe you’d like to have a look here: “Code needs Power“
