Comments on: TouchArcade Podcast #5: John Kooistra's 'Red Conquest' http://toucharcade.com/2009/11/16/toucharcade-podcast-5-john-kooistras-red-conquest/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: CommanderData http://toucharcade.com/2009/11/16/toucharcade-podcast-5-john-kooistras-red-conquest/#comment-43566 CommanderData Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:23:47 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=25423#comment-43566 Ha, that was great to hear you guys talk about Rogue Touch! It was difficult to take a game with complicated keyboard controls and poor/no graphics and make it seem as though it belonged on the iPhone, a device without a keyboard (unless I wanted to lose half the screen). Fortunately my take on the game worked out pretty well, taught me a lot about the SDK, and helped me make some new friends around here. I agree that it is a niche game, but if you're a fan of dungeon crawlers or roguelikes it becomes a must-play take on the genre. It's really taken on a life of its own, and become a sort of cult-classic. Even I still play it! For the future- I've dropped some hints about my upcoming "secret projects" both here and in my forums... Let's just say I think RPG, strategy, and dungeon crawler fans will all find something to like in my next game. When I'm ready to talk more, Touch Arcade will be the first to know :) Ha, that was great to hear you guys talk about Rogue Touch!

I'll be buying this no matter what price, because I have full confidence in this fella. His Blue Defense and Blue Attack games were highly polished, and dan fun to play. I think I'll restore them back onto the iPhone to relive good times. :) Wow, one of the best solo developers from the beginning of the App Store age!
