    Overpowered Game's next... not-a-game app: Cake Day!

    I've been working on this on and off on the side. It was originally inspired by me thinking of ways to use Unity for non-game apps.

    So what is Cake Day? Essentially, it’ll let you send 3D interactive cakes to other iPhone users. I guess it’s like an e-card, but not as lame.. I hope. Anyway, I’ll be trying to get it on the app store by June. I’ll be finishing two other apps by then as well (collaborations with other startups), so the next couple months will be extremely busy.

    You can check out Cake Day’s website at CakeDayApp.com.

    Here’s a bonus shot from inside the Unity editor:

    That actually sounds really cool! I've never thought of using Unity3D as an engine to create APPS. Lol. That looks awesome though. I would definitely get this. My girlfriend would love this.

    That's what I like to hear :)

    Haha yeah, this is meant more to substitute mailed cards -- something you'd send to someone who you can't or wouldn't give a real cake to :)

    Nice idea ! I don't know if its like that already but I think you should add the choice to pick different types of cakes. So for a wedding you can have a wedding cake, etc...
