December 2024 - Historical iOS Game: Sumerian Trader
Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA I completed and released my first iOS game, Four Letter Words, try the game yourself on the Apple App Store. It's free by the way.
I'm now working on my second game, Sumerians. It's a historical game set in the time of ancient Sumer about 5,000 years ago. The Sumerians were famous for growing an abundance of food, among many things, and using that to faciliate trade throughout the region. The game picks up that thread with you as a traveling merchant.
Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA I think video games are evolving to include many more options from independent developers. Similar to how print on demand opened the doors for many more book authors, new tools available to developers will enable them to create and publish quality games with a team of one.
My ambition is to develop and release a game onto the Apple App Store. While I have programming experience with web applications, I have yet to do much work with SwiftUI or XCode needed to create apps on iOS. I want to release a quality game, so I am going to take all of the time needed to do so and since this is a side project to my regular 9-5 work, I will have to be flexible on my timeline.
Do you want to follow along as I create the game? I am documenting my progress here: My First iOS Game
