Hector: Badge of Carnage to be flashed on iPhone in 2010

While adventures on the iPhone and iPod Touch are becoming more common, to date they have largely been ports and updates of existing games. Irish developer Straandlooper Animation plans to blow that notion away (quite messily) next year with its three-part episodic series, Hector: Badge of Carnage.

The stylish comic crime spoof stars Detective Inspector Hector, a "flawed, misanthropic anti-hero" who is rather unaffectionately known as the "fat arse of the law". In Badge of Carnage, a hostage crisis in the city of Clappers Wreake ("crime capital of Britain") breaks out, leaving Hector with a tough decision to make. He must either "carry out the terrorist’s curiously altruistic demands, or watch as his fellow officers are picked off one by one. Hector’s still on the fence."

A classic point-and-click adventure, though relabeled "touch & slide" by creator Dean Burke to better suit the touch-screen platform, the series promises plenty of offbeat humour, cinematic cutscenes, and puzzles to keep players entertained. The series will debut with We Negotiate with Terrorists, and each episode will "tie together working toward a satisfying climactic payoff, each one ending in a nail biting cliffhanger."

While release plans have not yet been finalized, the developers expect to be finished the first episode early in the new year, and project a production time of 4-6 months for the two subsequent installments. In the meantime, there's a host of Hector information and goodies at the official website, including a couple of animated shorts.
