seems like unstoppable fun. hmm. Kind of unique art style that brings out the story of the game. And looks like it will be tiring for fingers with those keep comin enemies. Personally like it : )
Haha, not quite work in them but had a few relatives in them. Might As well have worked there the amount of time I was there! That video looks really manic/fun.
Nope! I have actually started working with Chillingo on the game and am adding a whole bunch of content to the game before it gets released. Things like helicopters, new enemy types, weapon customization, etc. I'll be posting some stuff up soon to give you a peak at the new content!
I will try to let more out! I've been swamped lately with TONS of work, but this week I should be posting a ton of updates and videos on how I created THEM!!!
Before anything when you kill an enemy i think it should be more in your face like BAMM! make them explode it would be cool! ALSO is second gen devices supported? Thanks
I am actually experimenting with exploding enemies so you may see your wish come true! That way the gameplay is more frantic and fast paced. Second gen devices are totally supported! The main testing devices that I use are 1st and 2nd gen iPod touches. The game runs at ~40fps on 1st gen and ~55fps on 2nd gen. Just optimizing some more to get a buttery smooth frame rate. It looks killer on the iPhone 4 and runs at 60fps on 3GS and up.
Out in NZ Retina Screenshots (click to enlarge) THEM is a ruthless, terrifying organization. But you’re not scared of them....are you? Take on the role of Albert, an ex-intelligence officer, and former operative inside THEM. Albert may be old, but that doesn’t mean he can’t kick butt! THEM has discovered that Albert used to be selling state secrets, and now they want him “taken out”. It’s your job to not let that happen! So don’t! How will you achieve this you ask? By using weapons of course! Unlock numerous weapons and power-ups in order to unleash punishment on those attacking you! Fight back to stay alive! Can you last all 99 levels?!? Or will you be overcome with the chaos of battle?!? Play for a minute, a half hour, or an hour! Endless fun means you can play as short, or as long as you want! Level randomization means that you will never see the same level twice! The stunning black and white visuals of THEM allow the characters to “pop” off the screen. Allowing you to better know what’s going on and to stay alert at all times. Blood is a bright red (Of course!), so you’ll know when you are taking damage and also when YOU are dishing out damage to your enemies! Warning: Things can get messy! Full integration of Game Center means that you will always have something to do! Unlock achievements to show off to your friends. Conquer the leader boards and prove to the world you’re the best! Can you outlast all your opponents?!? Play, play and play again to show off your skill and destructive power! Full Twitter and Facebook integration means you can show off your high scores and gruelling body count to your friends! Updates, updates, UPDATES!!! Did you really think that once you clicked purchase that that was the final game?!? This is only the beginning! With a wave of future updates you can look forward to: More enemy types, helicopters, vehicles, SWAT officers, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, lasers, new power-ups, character selection, new graphics, story mode, Halloween themed graphics, Christmas themed graphics, and much, MUCH more!

Just to let everyone know....the game hasn't been released yet! There was an error with the launch dates that has been fixed. The version that was released briefly was a very old (August 2010) version. Luckily nobody had a chance to purchase the game while it was up and it has since been removed. I know I have remained VERY quiet the past couple months in regards to THEM. That is simply because I have been swamped with client work lately and was unable to work on the game for quite some time. However, the game is nearly done and I am starting to gear up for a launch possibly at the end of April or middle of May. I may be contacting some of you in regards to testing the nearly finished game very shortly. To answer your question JoeyLP, there will be a free version shortly after launch. However, it wont be the a lite version that has become the norm. I have something special planned for that. Just to give you a basic idea: It will be a free magazine styled (Still 3d though) version where I take you behind the scenes to look at the entire process of making a video game. From initial sketches to completed art assets. There will be part of the game included in this free version to give a taste of what the final game is like, but I wanted to present that in a unique way. This way you can follow the entire process, see how parts of the game came together, and then play a section of the completed game. Thanks to everyone for their patience as I finish this game. I know it`s been a long time since I first announced the game, but I just want to make sure I do it right and that I don`t release something that isn't enjoyable for all of you.
