June 2009
This is an exciting month for IUGO! We are attending E3 in LA and WWDC in San Francisco to enjoy the festivities and connect with partners old and new. We’ll be showing off Starhogs and A.D.D. during both events as they will be launched this month too. Additionally we’ll discuss new projects slated for later this year. IUGO is hosting IDU PT. 2 @ WWDC, visit the twitter feed for more info and frequent updates.
Freeballin’ v 1.3 has launched with the brand new epic Toyballin’ table! Go pick it up now if you haven’t already to enjoy 5 lavish tables bursting with pinbally goodness. Look for new info on Starhogs and A.D.D. VERY soon in the form of videos. Both of these games are looking killer and we are super stoked to bring them to you this month.
May 2009
Our teams have been feverishly working on several projects, mentioned previously here on the IUGO website. Starhogs was slated for release last month however, we wanted to ensure it was tip top for our users! We made the decision to delay its release for May. Here at IUGO we rather push a game back a bit if it means our high standards for quality are met. Stay tuned for when Starhogs will land in the App Store.
Our super software engineers are also burning the midnight oil to blast out the epic Toyballin’ table for Freeballin’, our fun and fancy pinball game currently available on the App Store. The Toy Bot-themed table will be a FREE update for Freeballin’ bringing the game’s total number of tables available to 5!
Our other upcoming title, A.D.D. is shaping up to be one crazy game! We’re working hard to make A.D.D. one of the most unusual and entertaining games that the iPhone has to offer. Check in with our IUGO forums for the latest info on A.D.D.
IUGO will be attending E3 and WWDC this year in Los Angeles and San Francisco respectively. We are also hosting IDU Part 2 at WWDC. IDU stands for iPhone Developer’s Union, but really it’s just a fun casual get together of some of the most talented iPhone developers all in one room! Check out the IDU twitter feed for the latest info on this event.
