Hey all,
So I finished a game, made with Unreal Engine (UDK) for iOS. Took almost 3 years of spare time, probably 6 months if it had been done full-time.
It's currently featured on the App Store "Best New Games" in most of Europe, Asia-Pacific & Africa/Middle East. Missed the feature in a couple of the big ones like US, Canada, Russia & Brazil unfortunately but it is still available world-wide.
Looking forward to the next project and finally getting onto UE4

More info on the game here:

The concept: I had a dream one night where I was racing these little cars around the house with a rubber band and it felt really cool! So I prototyped it in kismet.
It worked OK but with one major flaw: in the dream, my hands never got in the way - on a touch screen, they do So I needed to keep the steering hand on one side of the screen, which was harder than it might seem - can't do much with the camera when you're touching the world to steer, since that changes where you are touching! In the end, the key was making the camera orientation changes slow and predictable. Went through a lot of prototypes.
Ultimately I feel like I achieved a unique and natural method of steering, with a fun visual setting.
Feel free to try it out! Here's the social links for the company if you wish to follow
