WWDC Live: Black Pixel demos 2 new games

The guys from Black Pixel stopped by to demo 2 upcoming games they're working on, both for kids: one for very young children, and one targeted at a slightly older set, which I assume ranges up to at least 30, given that it has me pretty excited. I'm neither young (by my standards), nor a gamer, but the game currently codenamed Tatooine has me ready to go running through the streets swinging my iPhone around and firing it like a phaser, baffling innocent onlookers. Check out the video after the jump, you'll get the idea.

In the growing world of app developers, and especially from a young company, there are bound to be some misses here and there as they get the ball rolling. While I have had no experience with Fit personally, I *can* say this looks like a good step in Black Pixel's growth. I, for one, am excited to see how this plays out, and how they support and perform in the future. I'm sure they've learned from Fit.

Project Tatooine looks like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to checking out the mechanics & gameplay...

I agree with Bill, the first iteration of Fit was really rough and easily grouped in with some of the buggiest iPhone apps (though I've seen a lot worse). By version 1.03 the application became stable. While not all the foods are included (or even some basic staples), I'm hoping there will be an update eventually. Not a home run by any means, but core functionality is there (I still use the weight tracker). I don't necessarily feel screwed over (I've spent $20 on crappier apps), but I would have much rather had a free trial lite version before throwing down the cash. It looks like they've completely taken it off the market though.

Let's hope they don't screw people over with their new Apps. If this is the same group as "Black Pixel Luminance" that did the "Fit" app, they sold the damn thing for $15, it never worked as they promised, and haven't done crap to fix it.

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt I'd ever spend a dime on another piece of software coming out of this company.
