Developer seeks to prove the existence of a AAA market for mobile
Ryan Payton, formerly a director for Halo and producer for Metal Gear Solid 4, has set out to prove that gamers will embrace iOS- but only if there are games worthy of their attention.
"iOS is becoming a great gaming platform, but where are the games for people who love intense action and story-driven experiences?" Payton asks.
"Where are the AAA games designed specifically for touch-based devices?"
His studio, Camouflaj, has teamed up with production house Logan, taking to Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan?ref=history)to create a AAA game and story designed from the ground up for touch interface.
The game, Rebublique, is seeking a budget of $1 million dollars, half of which has been offered by investors on the condition that they prove the market exists by raising the other half on Kickstarter.
