Star Wars: Trench Run on the iphone developed by Infrared5

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Many gamers around the world are waking up to some very exciting news today. This comes immediately following the “teaser” trailer THQ sent to PocketGamer, and the posting of the game trailer on youtube.com. Following the initial release, a succession of iphone sites and gaming aggregators picked up on the news. Finally, the trailer and a great article were released on the official Star Wars site. What’s interesting to see are the comments that are flooding in on sites like TouchArcade and others. Comments range from interesting suggestions, new game requests, flat out excitement and criticism.  To answer these from my own perspective, we (Infrared5) are totally stoked about this game and would want nothing more than to continue building quality Star Wars games.  God knows there’s an amazing community that expects nothing but the best and its important to continue the tradition.  In addition, we share the excitement for the release!  To address the criticism. Well, there’s always going to be criticism ;) , but that doesn’t mean that it should go un-noticed. To that point, I can only say that the game was developed by a top-notch team all whom are all recognized in the credits of the game.  One of our developers John Grden, who has my greatest admiration led the development on the game.  If anyone has any doubts about the games quality and authenticity, please read John’s post. John is, ummm, a huge Star Wars fan…  He’s been storyboarding this game for 6+ years.  Trust me, I’ve seen his sketches and previous experiments ;) . That said, I can say that John and the team have really paid attention to detail for this game!

Last, my thanks to the team, John GrdenChris Allen, Rebecca Smith Allen, Todd Anderson, Keith Peters, Andy Zupko, Paul Gregoire, Kasey Jordan, Lizzie Martin and Ben Throop and Mike Oldham.
