Hi all!

Some of you have probably already seen a bit from our game Runners Grinders. We are currently running a crowd-funding campaign for it, and it has actually been aired for half a month. We lacked a video though so i didn't feel justified to announcing it very extensively.

That has changed now - we just finished our promo video! Have this one TIGsource, I think all the inspiration I get from here has made TIGsource the target audience And with music from Sam English I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Make sure to follow our Devlog here at TIGsource. I will update it often once I get deeper inte the code.

All those delicious pixels...wasted on iPhone Sports?
C'mon now, does it look like us sexy, buff people need exercise?

Use these graphics and make me a PC Action-RPG, and I'll start throwing wallets at you for exercise.

Huh, maybe this would finally get me to do some running. And it's another reason to get an android phone.
Although the way I see it it would be easier to just explore by bus :D Maybe there is a way to locate all the most interesting places in the game far off the roads and into actual running places like banks of rivers, parks and woods?
Anyway, good luck, it seems interesting

If I met you in an alley, I would be frightened.

@Theon: Seems like I got you by the tail then. The game is meant to feel and play like any Action-RPG between your runs. I guess you'll just have to get exercising now

@Netsu: There are ways to sort out that. I've been studying robotics so I know how to handle sensor data. It can be done using the accelerometer. What you had in mind there is really interesting though, as long as we don't have to map the whole world manually it could be done! I like how it would push people towards exploring our nature.

@Wade McGillis: Haha! Trust me, that's not how i am. People are often surprised over how humble I am in person.

I've updated and clarified some of the sections in our presentation. Hopefully it'll make the game much more joust now.

I also made a picture that should give a brief explanation of the gameplay:



(6. ? ? ?)

(7. fitness)

Let me know if there's anything that still needs to be explained better!

Think the pictures helped explain the idea. Great concept.

[CiroContinisio]

The concept is very nice, maybe better tie it to walking rather than running (iOS users are lazy, you say running, they escape :D me included)

The Live Wallpaper for Android that every contributor gets is finished!
This means you can already enjoy the pixels on your phone while waiting for the game to release!

Visit our campaign and support us with at least $1 to claim your wallpaper!
www.indiegogo.com/Runners-Grinders

It features a couple of scenes and some settings.
Some HTC phones does not support scrolling for live wallpapers and if that's the case, you can use the "Disable scrolling" setting to fix the wallpaper at the neatest position.

The wallpapers are sweet!
