How did you guys get together?
Ravenous Games is
currently a one man indie operation. I work alongside other indie teams and
sub-contract as necessary.

Wait, so it’s just you at Ravenous Games? I thought for sure you had a team put together. So what did you do before entering the iOS scene?Just me
I’ve always moonlighted doing game development but before doing it full-time I was a web developer.
from? Can you lay down the story line?
Woblyware is
responsible for creating the original League of Evil. Ravenous Games came along
and pretty much did a straight port of the Flash game and helped build some iOS
exclusive content with no real direction for the story. For League of Evil 2,
BulletProof Outlaws came up with a GREAT story line and illustrated a whole
bunch of comic book pages. The game actually feels much more rewarding knowing
there is a plot backing it.

The one-man army thing kinda fubared my question. But that is really cool. How did you team up with Woblyware to port League of Evil in the first place?
When we finished our game Cave Run and started looking for another game to port over to iOS we came across League of Evil online and contacted the authors.
goal times were a pretty hard to beat. How are those times decided upon?
Woblyware and Ravenous
played tested the levels and did our best to estimate a good average level
time. For League of Evil 2, we actually averaged beta testers level times and
perform some analytics on the save game files to help determine a difficulty
curve. The results is much better progression during the chapters and more
reasonable level times.
pixels and go with a more HD look? Are you guys targeting the same audience in
League of Evil 2 as in the original?
We are looking to
cater to a wider audience this time around with League of Evil 2. We know we
won’t be able to please everyone but we are thrilled with the new look!
Hopefully the original fans will appreciate it as well. We know we will lose
the hardcore pixel-junkie fans for the sequel but gameplay is king and League
of Evil 2 is still has the same great gameplay (and controls) as the original.
We took extra care to make sure it plays as well as the first game but honestly
believe this game is superior in every way possible.
screen shots, Bulletproof Outlaws has done an amazing job with the HD overhaul.
How did you guys pair up for this project?
Jeff and I have worked
on projects in the past. He’s an incredible artist and did a fantastic job with
the art on League of Evil 2.
for Ravenous Games? Will the League of Evil series continue, or are you guys
going to move on to a new game altogether?
We
plan on putting a couple updates out for League of Evil 2. We also have a
couple more pixel games coming courtesy of Woblyware. As for League of Evil, we
will determine based on League of Evil 2’s success whether a third game is
something we should consider!
