Last night we held the September Auckland Game Works Meetup at our usual venue in the Media Design School conference room. iPhone was the focus and our three speakers showed New Zealand has a lot to offer when it comes to iPhone development.

First up were Star Kiwi, a development team who've just launched their iPhone title Space Hawk this week. The game was developed in Unity and has an extensible customised engine of sorts that shows good potential for future games in the series.

The game looks like a great little arcadey shmup and features a pumping soundtrack by the talented boffins at Auckland's Thinkt Studios. Check out madMinute's funky site for Space Hawk at: http://www.space-hawk.com/
