Wow, I mean this is wow! Hunger Games surely dominates the world now -- at least it's getting more and more exposure. Have you heard about the Facebook social app to be developed by Funtactix? Read it here. Now, Hunger Games will soon dominate your iPad, iPhone, and other iOS devices with an upcoming strategy and marksman game from Adam Saltsman and his team. I hope they will create the Android version of the game (Please, please, please Mr. Saltsman). Read this article:
Adam Saltsman, the mastermind behind Canabalt, Gravity Hook and Capsule, has rallied an indie dream team to make an original iOS title based on The Hunger Games movie. The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire is Saltsman's brainchild, backed by production company Lionsgate, and in collaboration with designers/programmers Mark Johns (Tap Tap Dance) and Kevin Coulton (Hot Throttle), lead artist and animator Paul Veer (Super Crate Box), and composer Daniel Baranowsky (Super Meat Boy, Canabalt).
Saltsman says he was skeptical about taking on the adaptation, as most companies who approach him want to re-skin Canabalt and call it a day. Not Lionsgate though. "I pitched them on an original touch-based action game instead," Saltsman said. "It does feature a running character, but the focus of the game is more on marksmanship and strategy... but we'll have more to say and show about that later! It's a small idea, but a tight one too."
The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire will launch for iOS devices "timed to the theatrical release," which is March 23.
