Battle for Vesta - 3D Space Combat

[John Harrison]

I just had my first app approved for sale on the App Store. Since I used iPhone Dev SDK frequently during the development process to find answers to questions and learn some of the intricacies of OpenGLES I figured this would be a good place to announce that the game is out.

The game is Battle for Vesta. It is a 3D space combat game set in an asteroid field. You have a first person view from the controls of a space ship equipped for both asteroid mining and battle with other ships. As you advance through the game you are given wingmen and engage in large-scale dogfights against dozens of enemies at once. It concludes with a series of epic battles in which your efforts determine the outcome.

I don't know how to post a YouTube video in this forum, but there is one on the main page of www.battleforvesta.com

Here's the iTunes link to buy the game. It is on sale for $1.99.

Thanks for all the help in getting this thing built!

I'd appreciate any feedback on ways to improve the game. Post here and I'll try to be as responsive as possible.

thanks!
