Hello everyone,
I know it's been awhile but I wanted to start a devlog about our latest game, The Executive. We just
announced it yesterday on Touch Arcade.
Below is the teaser trailer, followed by more information.
I'm eager to hear what you all think!
Thanks!
Jacob
The Executive is a fast-paced, cinematic, martial arts action game designed from the ground up for iPhone and iPad. You are the CEO of a company that has been infiltrated by werewolves, and it's your job to save your employees, and eventually the entire city, from their dastardly schemes.
The Executive uses Riverman Media's proprietary animation system to bring to life its large, hand-drawn, 2D sprites with an unprecedented amount of smoothness and detail.
Riverman's mission is to advance the art of 2D game creation, and we believe that The Executive represents some of the most advanced 2D technology ever used in a video game.
The Executive will launch in 2014.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many levels are there? Is this an endless game?
Right now we are planning 12 large levels. Each takes place in a different part of the city (subway, central park, zoo) and has a number of branching paths and a variety of objectives. Every square millimeter of every level will be handcrafted--no randomly generated endless filler.
2. Will there be virtual controls?
No. The touch controls are integrated directly into the characters and environments. For example, you tap an enemy's head to punch its head, and you tap your character's legs to block low. There are also many special moves, executed by multiple taps or slides. Action sequences (like jumping through glass windows) use special timing icons, much like rhythm games.
3. Freemium, right?
Wrong! The Executive will cost money, but probably less than the last sandwich you ate. Once you've bought it though, there will be nothing additional for sale within the game. Ever. And no ads either.
