Captain Bubblenaut from former Bioshock dev
Indie title due out later this month on iOS.
Longtime industry veteran Dean Tate, who worked on the original {Bioshock} at Irrational Games, and later at Harmonix on {Dance Central}, is now dedicated to indie development with his friend Owen Macindoe. Together they're created the quirky looking {Captain Bubblenaut} that is due out on AppStore on August 19 ($1.99).
"As for the game itself, it's a really simple, small, tight, arcade-action game in the vein of Canabal/{Tiny Wings}/{Jetpack Joyride}. Simple to pick up and learn, really tough to master. Owen and I view it as an experiment: we wanted to harken back to the golden age of the arcade, where every game existed in it's own genre, and the only way for designers to capture an audience was to make something entirely unique," writes Tate in an e-mail announcing the project.
