Subject: Bungie Founder Announces New Game

Alex Seropian earned his pedigree by co-founding Bungie and now he's trying something new: a mobile shooter. Today, his new studio, Industrial Toys announced its first game: Morning Star. Morning Star is a complete reimagining of the sci-fi shooter, designed from the ground up for touch.

Slated for a Spring 2013 release, Morningstar takes place 120 years into the future aboard the MSRV-Joplin, a research vessel researching a signal originating from inside the solar system. The ship, which just happens to be decked out with top-of-the-line weaponry, is transported across the universe to take place in a war that's not their own.

Tim Harris, a designer at Industrial Toys wrote on its website asking for input throughout the development process via social media, "Our totally unreasonable goal is to completely change the expectations core gamers have for their mobile games, and with that comes a bunch of dialogue about what we're doing and whether it's gonna work or not."

Morningstar will also take full advantage of advanced mobile hardware, as it runs the Unreal Engine and will have graphic effects like high-definition shadows and HDR lighting. For more on Morningstar, check out the trailer below.

Good for him. I hope it does well. Always nice to see people breaking new ground in the industry, too.

Alexander made Operation: Desert Storm, and Jason Jones almost completed Minotaur by the time they combined. Then they went and founded Bungie. The rest is history.

That trailer was terribly paced, IMO. Seemed like it wanted to go for an Alien-esque feel, but didn't hit the mark.

Game seems cool though.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

Here is a teaser trailer for the game. It'll look nice on a phone screen.

He's a founder, but is no longer with Bungie.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

Why produce only for apple? Did they mention?

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

That actually looks awesome. I don't know if my phone would be able to handle it though, it seems to be designed more for tablets.

That's too bad, I don't play mobile games. I hope the game succeeds though.

I need to see more footage, but right now it just looks like a generic shooter.

Ad Infinitum

I'm hesitant on this. I've had so many bad experiences with mobile shooters, and mobile games in general. I don't really think I would like this particular game, but I hope he does well.
