So, I’ve been working on a new game called Battle Nation. The above video is just the starting screen for the game.

Battle Nation is set in a future totalitarian society that is perpetually at war. The government has demanded all young kids that are about to enter high school to postpone their studies and enter a battle school instead. At battle school the kids are preparing for live combat by playing an assortment of computer simulations. You are one of these kids, and the story follows you during your time at battle school.

That is all the info I am giving out right now, but more will be coming soon.

I have just submitted an update to GeoAlert. It includes a few new features and a few optimizations.

• You can now specify the proximity to an alert (between 250 to 2000 meters). However, due to the nature of location multitasking in iOS 4, you should only use small proximities for areas that you have strong cell reception.
• A short message can be attached to an alert, and it will be shown when the alert is triggered.
• GeoAlert now correctly unregisters itself from location multitasking if there are no active alerts

I have also decided to release a free, ad supported version of GeoAlert. It has also been submitted, and so hopefully it will be available in a week or so.

As always, feel free to comment on this post or email me (feedback@opetopic.com) if you have any questions or suggestions.

The 1.1 update to IsoCards is now available. This update includes Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity, poker chips, and games with pre-programmed rules. See our previous blog post for all the details.
