So I'm testing with IOS now and ran into a weird thing. It seems like my Ipod 5th gen I can't touch any of the edges. My buddy is having the same problem with his Iphone 5.
Anyone else run into this? Should I just re-position my gui to compensate? I've been reading some issues with 5th gen ipods/iphones how the touch screens are wonky...

definitely try here:
Looking good! Love the music so far, though it seems kind of chill for how hectic the gameplay can get. Sound effects will probably make all the difference though. Great to see how far along it's come!
Man, I'm trying to get into blender 3d again and it has been one of my most frustrating experiences ever. I swear the interface was designed by monkeys, I've never been this frustrated using a program before
Any viable alternatives that are free/won't cost an arm and a leg? I've used 3dsmax in the past and loved it, though it looks pretty hefty.
This is looking nicely polished. I find space to be a really difficult setting to pull off visually, but you've done a great job of it with the layers of interstellar clouds and subtle parallaxing to give the area a nice sense of volume.
Sorry it's frustrating. What version are you using, and exactly what sort of task are you trying to do? There are videos for all sorts of things, so if we in the thread know the problem we might be able to link some things.Man, I'm trying to get into blender 3d again and it has been one of my most frustrating experiences ever.

The soundtrack is lovely. Very Daft-Punk-Tronesque.
Gameplay looks tight and well thought, the game is coming along very well
Sorry if I missed it, but what are your target platforms ? Shwip would fit very well on Vita I think
Not the same thing, but recently the FPS Constructor for Unity went free https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/2561 It's probably one of the best tools to make FPS games, and making it look like Doom or Wof3D should be easy.

I am pretty sure Apple has some type of touch rejection "secret sauce" for the side edges of their devices. They started it on the iPad Mini and it drives me crazy. The idea it to ignore spurious inputs but it has always been over zealous for me.
I have been working on Ephemerid and wanted to share an art thing. All(most) of the art in our game is hand cut paper that I digitize with a DSLR setup like so.
This works pretty well and lets me do some neat things with light and shadow. The latest think am working on is a shot of the earth from space. I really wanted to create a sense of depth and because this asset comes up at a key point in the game, I wanted to make it look a little special. I landed on layering glass over paper. This allows me to make chalk clouds that float over the earth and even cast subtle shadows.
The final effect is pretty nifty.
Incomplete rig and texture for a game me and some friends might actually dedicate some time to. All of you guys' games leave me in awe.
