Not dead yet…

Hey there, remember us? Yes we haven’t posted for a loooooooong time but that doesn’t mean we’re not doing anything. We are making progress on our next title. The road was longer and harder than we originally thought, but it’s been a learning experience. To tease you a little bit here are process pics of us building the base ground for the game. More to come, enjoy!



Pretty Cool, huh?


Madden 11 iPhone


Many of us have played the Madden series in one form or another. Now it’s comes to the iphone in it’s current 2011 season. Overall it’s a very polished game and it does justice compared to it’s super powered brothers on the consoles and PC. The graphics and animations are great and well done. The Controls are good for a touch based system although it’s hard being precise in running with the virtual stick. The actions buttons on the side are also a little hard to use because you cover most of them up with your thumb. Non the less it’s a very enjoyable game with several modes of play like, exhibition, playoffs, and season which should be enough for someone on a phone! It also employs the gameflow option with is great to progress the game along and not worrying about picking the right play. All in all it’s a great edition to your iphone lineup of games and as of the time of this posting it is on sale for only .99 which is a great buy. Madden 11 for iPhone is this weeks Game of the Week.


MagniMatch Video

Just uploaded a video that gives the basic walk through of the application. Pass it along to all those who want to take a look before they buy.


Real Racing – Close to Perfection

If you haven’t seen or played Firemint’s Real Racing game for the iPhone and now for the iPad is a real gem. As close as your going to get to playing a console quality game in the palm of your hands. The controls are spectacular and precise, with an automatic baking system (which you can adjust) allows to you to focus on driving and not worry about your finger placement. Along with pretty incredible graphics and sound, this winning combination makes it our game of the week. Give it a spin, you won’t be disappointed. [App Store]


Rinse and Repeat

Well now that we have our first title under our belt and took a little breather, we ready to start again. Our next game is in full swing and we hope to be releasing in early fall. As a little teaser here a couple of early sketches of the characters in the game. Stay tuned for more.


Hello World

I’m proud to announce the launch of my new company, Reve Studios, along with our first game release, “MagniMatch,” on the iPhone/iPod.

Reve Studios, a video game development company, is the fulfillment of a childhood ambition to make great games. After dabbling with game design on various platforms, the release and success of the new iPhone/iPod platform gave me the motivation I needed to form a company, and Reve Studios was born in late 2008. Everyone at Reve Studios has a passion for video games; every person on our development team has dreamed about making video games since they were young. It’s a labor of love.

Our first game, “MagniMatch,” is a simple matching game with a twist. Users view and move the object under the magnifying glass to find out what it is. Colorful graphics and positive vocal feedback ensure that young kids will have a great time exploring and finding the correct answers. This game is intended for children 2 years of age and older, and it’s available now on the App Store for just 99¢.

This is only the first of some great titles we’ll be putting out in the coming months and years. A special thanks to everyone who has supported us during this start-up period and who continues to support us. I encourage everyone to check out our website at www.revestudios.com. Please feel free to give us feedback and rate our games so we can make them better with updates in the future. You can also follow us on twitter.com/revestudios and become a fan of our Facebook page to keep updated on the latest news and projects.

Help us get the word out by retweeting, emailing, facebooking, and telling all your friends and family about us. We couldn’t do it without you!

Thanks,

Chad Robinson
Founder


Reve Update

Things are really moving along at the moment. Finally putting the finishing touches on our first app and readying it for submission to the app store. I hope everyone with little kids checks it out because it’s a fun little learning app.

Lot’s of really cool stuff on the horizon for us. I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I’ll keep posting updates.


Angry Birds: 2D Physics Blast


Our game recommendation for this week is Angry Birds for the iPhone/iPod

This funky twist on a physics based tower destroyer is quite fun. With the quirky birds and sinister pigs, there is just something satisfying about flinging a chicken through the air in a giant sling shot. I great buy at 99¢ [App Store] check it out. The full review is provided by TouchArcade.com
