Ethan Nicholas was one of the first independent developers to achieve a significant degree of success in the App Store. Nicholas’s first title, the Scorched Earth-like artillery combat sim iShoot, has earned more than one million dollars in sales to date.
Soon after iShoot’s release, Nicholas quit his day job to focus exclusively on iPhone development. Nicholas hopes to repeat iShoot’s success with his next game, the hunting sim Kim Rhode’s Outdoor Shooting.
Developed in cooperation with four-time Olympic medalist Kim Rhode, Outdoor Shooting challenges players to hunt white-tailed deer, grizzly bears and wild turkeys in a series of realistic environments. Weapons range from pistols, rifles and shotguns to more unconventional fare like the M134 mini-gun and the RPG-7. Because sometimes — on special occasions — deer need to be blown up with a grenade launcher.
Kim Rhode’s Outdoor Shooting is scheduled for release later this year or in early 2010.
