![]() Isola is a dynamic, animation-rich, beautifully rendered first-person episodic adventure game production for the iPhone, iPod Touch, PC, and Mac. Created by indie artist Matthew Lyles Hornbostel, the "Isola" series offers compelling story, a beautiful setting, and intriguing puzzles. And you'll be able to try it for free! You'll be able to explore realistic virtual environments, have a fun, immersive gaming experience - and have something cool-looking to show your friends. You'll also be thrilled to find seamless transitions between every view, and large amounts of animation in the gameworld. This is a great example of what a single artist can achieve; I've poured hundreds of hours into developing believable, beautiful virtual worlds, and I think you'll enjoy exploring them.
The first third of each game will be available as freeware. That's right, there'll be demos available, so you can try out each episode on this website, at no cost, before buying. The first episode in the series will be "Isola: Prologue". A demo will be posted in a few days; this demo will be freeware and will contain the first third of the episode. The full episode will be released about a week after that, first on this website and later on the App Store. It'll be 99 cents on the App Store and only 59 cents here on this website. "Isola: Prologue" places you on board a ship, the Utopia, in search of an unspoiled paradise. Unfortunately, it's been a long voyage and things are beginning to go very wrong. You'll have to decide what to do - and who you can trust - in this explosive introduction to the series. If this first app is a hit (and given all the traffic here lately, I'm betting it will be) it'll be followed up with two more episodes, "Isola: Revelations" and "Isola: Finale", along with a long list of videos, games, and other media projects. Be sure to bookmark this site, and come back soon. Big things are going to happen here in the coming week! ![]() For a broader overview of what Matthew Hornbostel and his production partners are currently working on, check out TriumphantArtists.com - there are a lot of video and video game productions listed there. |
