Evan Hsu wins the Tagline Contest!

Minigore has a new tagline: Tiny creatures, Giant adventure. It was voted the best of the six finalists getting over 37% of all votes! Even though the runner-up, Thousands of them... one of you, got up to a respectable 20%, Evan's line took the lead from the beginning and ended up winning by a wide margin. Congratulations Evan -- you get to be in the game!

On Minigore's submission to AppStore

Some unexpected work regarding iPhone OS 3.0 came up and I just wanted to drop by to tell you we are going to take the time to implement those before submitting. If you feel like you already can't wait for the game, don't worry, it won't take that long and Apple will get to approve the game soon!

Legendary Egoraptor to star as John Gore!

The father, mother and the uncle of Internet phenomena Egoraptor is going to voice John Gore in our upcoming survival shooter Minigore, and it is going to be Awesome! We can't even describe how very excited we are about this and we literally laughed through the entire 15 minutes of the previews he sent us!

We want to make sure this thing gets done properly and push the game's estimated submission date to Apple 10 days forward to June 25th. Let me tell you, it is going to be worth the wait!

The Awesome Minigore Tagline Contest!

So, what's the deal? Create a really catchy tagline for Minigore! You may use up to six words for your unique creation.

To remind ourselves, let's go briefly over what Minigore is: an awe-inducing representative of the survival shooter species. You step into the shoes of John Gore who finds himself lost in a strange place called the Hardland. Everything would be suitably nice and peaceful if it weren't for the darned furries. These black creatures seem to have an unexplained grudge against our blue-coated hero, and with so many of them out there John is very lucky to have managed to hold onto his machine gun!

Post your entries to the address in the poster and do it by June 13, 2009. The grand prize is truly epic in proportions; you get to be in the game as a professionally modeled 3d-character, executed in the true Hardgore style! The model will be added to the game in the first update.

The finalists will selected by us at Mountain Sheep and there will be a public vote for the finalists on the Touch Arcade forums where there the talk on the subject is heating up!

These new and never-before-seen screenshots from Minigore should help you find the inspiration.

Our official embassador, Santa, thought up a few example taglines to get you started.

Minigore: Just bleed! (yes, Santa watches the UFC)
Minigore: I ain't got time to bleed (for all the Predators out there)
Minigore: When the going gets tough!
Minigore: It's a strange world out there...
Minigore: Die Hard Gore

If more than one people enters the contest with the same entry independently and it so happens that this entry wins, then the Mountain Sheep team will make a Frankenstein model with features from all winners in it!
