#3Awesome, thanks for posting!
It's interesting how the core game was basically finished very early on (week twelve or so), and then the rest of it was "just" polish. So in this case, the proverbial last 20% are really 60% of the work.

#4Very cool, again thanks for sharing. I actually liked the credits snippet as well, mostly because I didn't see anyone who didn't belong there. Software Engineer, art, effects, animation and sound. Not sure what VO is.
But seems like you guys run a lean operation - and I love that. That's what most teams should be.

VO is voice over (the announcer). Uber Entertainment definitely runs a lean operation, with everyone wearing multiple hats. In fact, the person responsible for VO in the game happens to double as our office manager. You can check out some of the other stuff we do at http://www.uberent.com/

#7Congrats, thanks for sharing this.
As a game dev myself, I'd definitely love to hear more about the custom engine you used and why you chose it over the other options on the market (like Unity, which you mentioned).

It's the same engine as our much larger game, Planetary Annihilation. http://www.uberent.com/pa/ PA needs it's own engine as no off the shelf option is sufficient for it's needs.
Outland Games is a much simpler game, but the PA engine is modular enough that we could scale down to mobile. The upside is that a lot of the work for Outland Games will carry forward with the engine and help future projects (including PA).

#10Congrats! Can you elaborate on this point?
Despite being an iOS game 95% of development was done on PC.
