iPad – game development has begun.

Posted on January 31st, 2010

By now you have probably heard about Apple’s latest product launch the iPad. With a press campaign that other companies should follow; the media storm has been fantastic, with it’s announcement making the 2nd headline on the 6 o’clock BBC news for the day.

Most of the initial coverage has been from pundits in the tech world who’ve collectively responded with “Meh, it’s OK but not what I wanted”.

Being totally honest, that was my initial reaction too.

Since then however, the idea of the iPad has grown on me and when it’s released in 56 days time I’ll probably be buying one, it will be fantastic to have lying around in the living room for quick browsing and email checks – currently a role taken by an aging EeePC netbook…

The really exciting thing for us at MBX though, are the new possibilities that this multi-touch, large screen device open up for novel games. We now have a device that can support some truly innovative game play and user input that currently could not be replicated on ANY other platform.

With that, I’m pleased and quite excited to announce:

This weekend we have begun development of a game that will ONLY be available on the iPad and could currently only work on the iPad.

More details coming soon!
