Announcing: Zen Bound 3GS!

[Frand]

Our holidays are ending, and we're getting back to work again. We're soon getting our hands on the new iPhone 3GS hardware and itching to get our hands dirty with it.

With that in mind, we're starting work on a 3GS-specific version of Zen Bound. It will be a visual upgrade that takes advantage of the capabilities of the new hardware.

No pricing info yet, and no release date either... we know better these days than to post expected launch dates ;)

I'm not sure on if this is a good move. You know, how many people have the iPhone 3GS...? Good luck, you'll need it.

Direction is never as important as momentum. ;)

Will Zen Bound 3GS be a separate game entirely? Will it be a remake of Zen Bound, just with better graphics?

I'm interested in buying Zen Bound, but I'm holding off entirely because I don't want to buy the game twice for prettier graphics. But, if it will be a new game completely (or, for that matter, a paid-for upgrade), then there's no reason not to purchase the current version.

The exact size and shape of the next Zen Bound release is really not set in stone. It will be a separate application and it will have prettier graphics, that much is certain.

As for the pricing, completion date or the exact amount of content (new level packs or not) we don't have a clue yet. It's still months away.

Our holidays are starting to be over, and I thought I'd spill it out that development is starting on a 3GS-specific version of Zen Bound.

We intend to get our hands dirty with the new hardware and see how we can take advantage of its new capabilities. That is, as soon as we can get our hands on a 3GS, they're still not selling over here on this dark corner of the planet. Should be soon, though.

Plans may change, but our current aim is to develop this as a technical and visual upgrade to the current game with no changes in the amount of levels (don't think of this as an expansion or a sequel, it's not). It will only run on a 3GS.

It will be a separate product in the App Store, not an update to the existing game. I'm sure many who are used to the free lunches in the App Store will find this controversial, but I remind that we need to eat too, and we believe everyone will see that the increase in quality will be worth the price.
