    ExZeus has a lot of visual artifacts and pixelated sprites, so I'm not too impressed. It's great, but could've been tweaked.

    3D graphics just don't look that great on the iPhone unless they're really clean and simple.

    I really, really like the look Spawn Illuminati has :rolleyes: Simple, yet elegant

    Sorry but i cant let you state this point without reacting, the only pixelated artifact we have on ExZeus is due to the texture hardware compression which is the same for everybody, this is a known limitation of the PVRT texture compression when using alpha or transparency, it has nothing to do with ExZeus. We have a bunch of special effect in ExZeus using alpha or transparancy so the game is more exposed to such of texture artifact than let's say another game using just opaque texture. Usualy you do just notice it on a still screenshot picture but can hardly be detected when playing the game as long as the framerate is smooth which is the case in ExZeus.

    The only way to avoid those little artifact is to use 32 bits texture but then you are wasting bunch of memory and bandwidth and can't reach the framerate we did achieve in this game, so i really doubt a "tweak" as you said can fix this problem, however if you have some, please feel free to share.

    Yes!!! Carlo please consider this as your next game!! I loved Virtual On sooo much I actually was given a cabinet about 5 years ago. I eventually had to get rid of it, but man I would sit in that thing for hours:D

    Yes, it is possible to develop such of game with our technology, however looking at the top sales, i am not quite sure there is the market for polished Arcade Game, people are more into 2D simple game pickup & play for everybody (no offense), and with 0 support from Apple toward company like us, this would be too risky....iSperm ranked a lot better than a complete game like ExZeus in the "Arcade" section does not really motivate, let's wait and see if Apple can give solid support to developer and then we'll move.

    Hey Mr Personal Robot :) , i really want to personally thank you, you have been a great supporter of ExZeus, from the beginning and always stay consistent, never had the chance to say it it before so i am taking the occasion now ;) , in addition, you have a cool nickname lol.

    Thanks again,

    Carlo

    What about Need For Speed Undercover? It has amazing graphics, even if the frame rate isn't so great. (but runs smooth on my 2G Touch)

    What? Why did you need to bring back a 3 month old thread, when there's been many after it =P

    Anyway... Snake Galaxy.
