Many of you should know the game development company Madfinger Games. They have brought along some great titles like Shadowgun and the Dead Trigger duo. Dead Trigger 2 has probably been their most successful game to date and one that can continuously expand while raking in the bucks with IAPs and such. The company just pushed an update for DT2 about a month ago that brought all kinds of new stuff to the game. However, DT2 has been out for quite some time. It would seem that Madfinger is now shifting their gears from the first and third person shooter genre to something a bit more relaxing with a new app called MONZO.
As you can guess from the screen above, the app will be all about model building in a virtual world.
“MONZO has great potential to capture the interest of mobile gaming fans from all present genres and it will also be fun for gamers of all ages as well.” explains Marek Rabas, CEO of MADFINGER Games. “The construction of virtual models is very close to the experience of actual construction. The whole process takes gamers through the purchase and unpacking of kits to assembly, painting, exploring and sharing of finished models on Facebook and other social media†adds Rabas.
MONZO will be a free app when it launches, but will have in-app purchases for you to buy various model kits that will listed out and categorized from simple to complex. I imagine the price tag will reflect the complexity as well. It would seem that Madfinger will have 8 kits available at launch, or at least that is how many their site says they have right now. Those would include the Black Widow bike, a COLT Model 1911, Paddle Boat, TREVITHICK Engine, Drilling Machine, Sports Car, Slingster Dragster and a Fire Truck.
In their gallery they also show off a Catapult Bow.
We aren’t certain of the launch date yet, but we do know they will be at GamesCom tomorrow showing it off at the Unity Booth (Hall 4.1, B030). If any of you guys will be around that area, swing in and check it out for us.
