I just looked at Apple Watch last weekend and was stumped when I found I couldn't manipulate WK Buttons and Labels around like UIViews. How did you manage 3D rendering.. ?
It's the magical part of the project... We worked hard on developing this 3D rendering part... Hope you're gonna like the game now...
there is no actual 3d rendering happen on the watch. The assets are prerendered and the animation frames either stored on the watch or send from the phone as needed depending on the amount of frames. there is of course no music or sound in the game since this not yet possible, so thats only in the trailer. anyway, it looks nice so faar, i don't see any shooting for a shotem up but it still look nice. do you get such smooth framerate on the actual watch with what looks like alot of frames. at least some of the more elaborate games for the watch from the looks of it. good luck with it.
The game runs on the Apple Watch like on the video. We will soon post a video of the real game running on the Apple Watch. OK for the icon, the third was also the one we selected for our internal tests

Game looks supremely cool on an apple watch, but several constraints such as pricing & battery life has kept me from buying a watch in the first place
We played "triXium project"a lot (for tests, and for fun ) and we didn't notice any battery drain, we were able to use the Apple Watch all the day long, as usual.
