Underworld 2: drugs, candies, what’s next?

May 17th, 2012 23 Comments »

Years have passed since we have responded to Apple’s rejection of Drug Lords by rebranding the game to Underworld: SweetDeal. And still the controversy echoes from time to time!

A couple of recent articles covering grey areas of modern entertainment and possible abuse of location-based games:

  • GPS Technology Allows Smart Phone Game Apps to Cross Realism
  • Dealing Crack? There’s an app for that too!

While we don’t want to get into murky waters of what’s right and what’s wrong about location-based games, a topic worth discussion is which setting / set of commodities would be the best fit for UW2.

It’s interesting that even though the sweets were supposed to be a funny cover for the game’s true theme, SweetDeal has earned itself a lot of loyal fans who loved it because of the candies. And that makes the question of setting for the sequel even more complicated and tricky. What’s your take, folks?

P.S. We know you’re waiting some news on the feature set of UW2 — let me assure you we’re on track with that, please be patient! =)

    • @Romeo69 UW2 is in the works! And since it's not an update, but actually a whole new game, it takes time. Update in the blog soon.

    • @TheRustySavage although we're definitely gonna write a new push server for UW2 and one other game, so we'll just reuse it for UW1.

    • @TheRustySavage sorry man, we're really focused on UW2 right now, and fixing push notes once and for all requires shitload of time.
