With the release of EPOCH today, it looks like Uppercut Games is keeping their promise as…
Anyone remember Slidatron? It was a highly innovative cartoony dual-screen platformer for The Nintendo DS by the then-new indie studio startup, Endgame Studios. While many of the unique aspects of the original Slidatron may look fairly common now, it certainly wasn't back then.
Slidatron received a runner up placing for the 2006 Game Connect: Asia Pacific conference for Best Unsigned Game (Professional) award which went to another small indie startup at that time, Ironmonkey Studios, for…

Note. Not my base mesh and texture, purchased a highres model from turbosquid (20000+ vertex, several 4098x4098 textures) and reduced it to 600 vert and a 2048x2048 texture page (for diffuse, alpha, normal and specular maps)

The studio and its publisher (Southpeak Interactive) assured media that the steam punk themed third person action adventure title was still in development, despite providing official confirmation that most of the staff that was working on it were let go as management decided to look towards offshore outsourcing to finish off the rest…
Three and a half years seems like an unusually long time to port a game to the mobile platform, but that's apparently how long it took Melbourne games developers, True Axis. Toucharcade.com has been following the progress of bringing PomPom Games' indie PC horizontal shooter, Space Tripper, to the iOS platform (iPhone, iPod, and iPad). Originally slated for release in early 2009, the title has had a long slog in development with numerous issues encountered by the then two member team at True…
