Just read on Facebook this is finished and approved by Chillingo. Should be submitted to Apple soon. I think it is releasing under the Clickgamer brand.
Yes, I think around two years. I was suppose to be in the Beta but couldn't figure out ow to get it working.
The Relic - Submitted to Apple Hey all, It's been TWO years almost exactly since I started work on this game. I apologize for the extremely long wait. Maybe that's the nature of trying to build a game like this while working a day job at longer-than-full-time hours at the same time. The Relic was submitted to Apple this week and we do have a release date, however I think Chillingo will announce it in the next day or so, so I won't write it here. They will also be releasing videos for it as well. It will be released under the Clickgamer brand at a low initial price. The game is a universal binary, it runs natively on iPad and also has iPhone 4 Retina graphics that look amazing. We cut multiplayer for the initial release but I look to put it back in in an update. The game looks and plays far better than the original screenshots and the video, can't wait until you all see it. Paul Senzee Axolotl Studios
Yay, maybe a good "Gauntlet-like" game on the iphone! I wish we could see some screenshots or video right now of the game (I must say that I was more interested by the concept that the graphics, but it can change!!) Anyway, I wish you best luck and we'll wait for chillingo to tell us a release date!
From what I've seen from the images that Paul has shared it's come on great in the last couple of years! Mark
Chillingo will release those, I expect sometime very soon. There's a little background on the game on my development blog (and a couple of screenshots) - http://www.senzee5.com/ @Vinny, In the above blog article I wrote about multiplayer - "Multiplayer is not in this release, I spent months working on it and got it working reasonably well but the architecture was a mess and it was hard to fit the rest of the game around it at that time and it was getting later and later. I was starting to believe myself that it would never get be released, so we cut it. I intend to get it in in a future update."
The game looks fantastic. I'll definitely be buying it the moment it's released on the app store. I've been waiting for this since it was first announced. I'm so pleased it wasn't abandoned or ruined by time constraints. Multiplayer as a later update is better than none at all, and I'm sure it will be done properly in that case! Bring on The Relic!
Thrilled that you are still excited about it! Let me give you the actual link to the article I mention above instead of just the blog: http://www.senzee5.com/2011/03/relic.html Also there is The Relic page on facebook, I will post screenshots up there as soon as I get the go ahead from Chillingo: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Relic/149992531219
