Lili hops to iOS on September 21, supports new iPod Touch
Lili, the upcoming adventure game/RPG hybrid from BitMonster Games, will be launched on iOS devices on September 21 – the same day the iPhone 5 and new iPod Touch arrive. In addition to a launch date, BitMonster has also revealed Lili will support the new iPod Touch line.BitMonster Games is a studio composed of six industry veterans who left Epic Games to get into indie development. Lili is the studio's first game, built on Unreal Engine 3. Lee Perry, president of BitMonster, says the new hardware "allows us to bring a visual fidelity that is unmatched" to other games running Unreal Engine 3 on iOS. "We think Lili is a great first project, and we couldn't be prouder of what six guys in one room have been able to accomplish in only seven months," he said.
Gears of War 3 lead gameplay designer out at Epic, founds BitMonster Games
When Gears of War 3 senior gameplay designer Lee Perry isn't busy explaining that he's not an elderly rocksteady artist, he's apparently starting new game studios with buddies from Epic Games. His new studio, BitMonster Games, is comprised of several ex-Epic staffers, and the team is already hard at work on an iOS RPG/adventure game named "Lili." And yes, that means he's no longer working on Epic Games' ... games.Given the team's past experience, it's no surprise that BitMonster is licensing Unreal Engine 3 for Lili (and future products, presumably). The game's already got a (fairly impressive) trailer for the game put together, which we've dropped above.Perry and Epic can't help but exchange some mutual back pattery in the announcement, with Perry saying, "Epic has been extremely supportive of our new studio and in helping us build the game of our dreams." Epic is equally excited about the situation, saying, "Given this team's crazy mix of passion, talent and chemistry, and with the latest Unreal Engine tools in their hands, BitMonster has a winning recipe for success." It's unclear when Lili will arrive on the iOS App Store, but we'll let you know as soon as we know more.
