I always do what I can to help spread the word about Sci-Fi games and Sci-Fi game developers the best I can. And when a Sci-Fi enthusiast buddy needs help, and asks for it, here I am to help him out the best way I can.<\/p>\n

Today I got in contact with Fazri Zubair, the founder of a small development studio in LA called\u00a0PyroElectric Games that focus on mobile platform gaming. Fazri is developing a sci-fi artillery-style game for the iPad and iPhone called T.R.E.K. Orbital Artillery (TOA)<\/a>. Fazri is\u00a0asking for support to help finish his game.\u00a0He said that the name T.R.E.K. stands for nothing at this moment. Part of the fun, he says, will be to come up with a suitable meaning for that name in the near future.<\/p>\n

TOA features planets destruction. Yes, that’s the main purpose of the game. Planetary extermination! You setup your fire power and then need to adapt to the various orbital elements around you, like asteroids, comments, stars, wormholes anomalies, black holes, supernovas. There seems also to be a generous arsenal of weapons available to choose from, with additional stuff available through in-app purchase, which leads me to believe\u00a0that probably TOA will be free to play.<\/p>\n

TOA will initially be created for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The dev stated that a Mac version will follow shortly after launch. If he gets the funding he plans to have an Android version ready within a few months.<\/p>\n

Fazri asked for support to:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0Hire an artist to complete the art assets for the game and design a UI.
\n–\u00a0Add sound FX and music to the game.
\n–\u00a0Add multiplayer support & cross-platform compatibility (Android).
\n– Additional graphic improvements & more weapons.<\/p>\n

Crowd funding sites like\u00a0Kickstarter<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Games Plant\u00a0seem to be a great place for the indie devs to look for support these days. These sites seem to charge a fee only when projects funding succeed.\u00a0StarDrive<\/a> was the perfect example of a well presented project with solid goals, having already a strong game base developed to show that the dev meant business. I’m sure the funding was well deserved.<\/p>\n

You can have a look at T.R.E.K. Orbital Artillery pledge at Kickstarter here<\/a>. As always in this sort of thing there will be perks involved for the backers.<\/p>\n

Good luck\u00a0Fazri!<\/p>\n
