Prisoner 84 v1.1 Now Available

Version 1.1 of Prisoner 84 has just passed submission so should be appearing on all iTunes App Stores over the next day or so.

The update hopefully addresses most of the main issues people were having with the game, including: a fix for the sound-related crash bug that some iPhone 4 users were experiencing during key card swipe and slider hold games; as well as including a few GUI tweaks and improvements, like a larger directional pad to hopefully make movement a lot easier.

I have also recently added a Help/FAQ section to the main Prisoner 84 page which should help out anyone having trouble with the basic controls and concepts found in the game. If you have any questions that aren’t covered then please contact us on our support email and we can add them.

There’s also quite a discussion going on over at toucharcade, which we’ve also been posting on from time to time. And we are also happy to say that one of the post’s contributors (RttaM) has kindly set up a handy help thread for anyone who might still be stuck.

Prisoner 84′s Gib System

With our third game almost complete and nearly ready to submit to Apple, we thought we’d take this opportunity to reveal in more detail some of the unique features you can find in Prisoner 84.

One feature in particular which we’re quite proud of is the basic gib system that we have on our enemies. The system allows random parts of the body to fly off when the enemy is shot at by the player, as you can see in these screenshots…

It’s not an amazingly detailed or complex system but it does add variety to enemy encounters, as it allows you to shoot the flesh off the torso, head, arms and legs to reveal the skeleton! It can get pretty intense when you have enemies chasing after you who are each showing different degrees of damage!

Prisoner 84 for iPhone and iPod touch

It’s been almost six months in developement and our new game is finally nearing completion! Prisoner 84 is a third-person action/adventure game for the iPhone and iPod touch that sees the player take control of a psychotic inmate who is attempting to escape prison. The game features a mixture of action as well as classic adventure game style puzzles.

It’s been tough going — we set out to see what two people could achieve in their spare time in the space of six months (with no budget whatsoever!), and I think what we’ve ended up with will satisfy a lot of different types of gamers. That’s what we’re hoping anyway!

Here’s a little sneak peak at Prisoner 84 in action.

Update: Here are a few screenshots (you can find more here):-
