New full 3D game for the iPhone

Good day,

We are a studio based in Cape Town, South Africa who are proud to announce the soon to be launched game for the iPhone.

It is called "Dragooo"

...In the depths of Mount Kahmi there is an adventure waiting for you like no other has seen on the iPhone, all only a finger touch away.

Join us on a journey that is sure to blow your eye sockets and create entertainment for hours to come.

Dragooo is an engaging game set in full 3D for your pleasure. The objective of the game is to adopt, feed, nurture, train and fly your dragon in an underground world filled with magic and beauty.

You begin the game by adopting a dragons egg, and once it hatches you look after the dragon, helping it grow into a teen by feeding and training it. Once your dragon has grown up you will be able to fly him through the adjoining caverns under Mount Kahmi.

I have added a couple pictures from the game to wet the taste buds, below you will see a some concept art from the game as well as a picture of the cave in which you raise your dragon. If you want to see more please go check out the website, it has alot more content on it. I would love to hear some feedback from you all, so do not hesitate to comment on this thread.

Dragooo is due to be launched at the end of the month.

Look forward to hearing from you all...

 

Nice artwork :wink:

 

Wow this is Hot!!!

 

Hey guys, thanks for the great comments so far, keep them coming

I have attached some more screengrabs from the game...

Enjoy!

 

Wow! I love the visual style - very cute and fun. I'll certainly be waiting to see this game

Keep up the awesome work!

 

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the great comments, ill convey them to our artists, they always love to hear good feeback about their work.

I took a look at your site, very impressive to see all the work you have done and the big names you have been involved in. Keep it up

 

Fantastic work! I am new to Unity and still stunned by how solid it is and how well it renders. I also have decided that if it's not made with Unity then it's not going on my iPhone.

Keep it up guys, I look forward to this one.

 

Spyro meets World of WarCraft? Very nice!

 

Wow, that just looks awesome and the title is perfect. Great work!

 

Hey guys,

Thank you once again for the great replies, we are really trying to pump out a great title with version 1 of Dragooo. Thought I would add another picture for you, this one is of our high poly dragon for makerting purposes, fully rigged and ready to fly

Hope you enjoy some eye candy for the soul

 

Haha, awesome artwork. Love it.
The dragon itself looks a bit flat compared to the environment, but on the other hand you could say that it makes the character pop out more.
Great work !

 

wow.... as stated many times above, this does looks fab! Well done indeed.

Best Regards,
Matt.

 

Stills look great! Can't wait to see how it moves

 

I like it, but you may want to add some darkness to simulate AO around his feet in the iPhone version, as well as planes with shadow blobs on them for each foot, which grow and lower in opacity as he raises his feet, again just to fit the style.

 

Wow this is awesome!

 

Very nice work guys.


Love the color style you're using in the game. Looks to be a very promising title!

 

I love the art direction. I love me some colorful games. Similar direction that Im taking my project in.

Interested to see it when it launches.

 

I love the concept art, very nice style and powerful lines, although I feel that the 3d falls slightly short of the beautiful concept art...
I know it's more than likely too late to change anything but I would suggest looking at the sharpness of the concept art's lines and reflect that into the 3D.. it seems the 3D became more cartoony and softer than the concept shows.

Otherwise awesome work can't wait to see more

Cheers,
Jason

 

Good day guys,

Thank you once again for all the comments, I love to hear it all.

I thought I would answer some of the points that have been brought up by some Unity users.

Regarding the shadows of the dragon, as this is a full 3D game, performance is always key, the shadows will be coming in we are tweaking the performace first before adding them in.

Regarding the difference in concept art and the end product. As it goes with concept art, these things are never set in stone, due to the game being for iPhone there is the polygon count that has to be taken into consideration. Due to this fact, a detailed dragon or environment like the concepts are not ideal for the performance on the iPhone.

Hope I keep on getting feedback on the game, and enjoy your day

 

This game looks so good, I cant stop saying this. If I may ask, how much polys is it pushing?

 

Hey guys,

To answer how many poly's the game is pushing. At any point in the game, you are looking at about a minimum of 20 000 tri's. Pushing the technology a bit, but we are having success in getting the game to work just fine. Performance is key, and we have been working hard to get the performance we want out of the game.

So, I have compiled a short video for you Unity users to show a bit of the game off. This video is a work-in-progress video, so there are a couple changes that have already been made to the game.

Bear in mind this is a Unity screen grab, so quality of the video is not at its best, but on the iPhone it is a lot sharper. Another point is, we are not using Unity Remote, so multiple controls at the same time was not possible.

Follow the link and take a look at it, let me know what you all think. Feed back is greatly appreciated.

beautiful colors :!:

 

20,000 tris? at once? on the iphone? :O how are you guys doing this? Gives me a lot of hope for the amount of tris I can push in my game...

 

nice video... wow.

 

Awesome and amazing, subscribed and favorited the video!

I'd rate the video five stars if I could figure out youtube's new format
