Thump: Whoaaaaa, It's an App

24 October 2012

We’re midst iPad drawing, writing, animating, programming and finessing for Thump, the first app to be released from our iPad collection by writer and illustrator Seonaid MacKay. A collection of dark writings and moody drawings that’s been every bit chicken or egg from the word go.

The collection’s life started out in print, but not contentedly. The stories simply didn’t want to flourish there, something we only realised when Seonaid came bouncing in with Thump 6 weeks ago with about fifty hand written and drawn story boards on her iPad, and we all shouted “Whoaaaaaa! It’s an app!”. So there.

As programmer Simon Thompson has since said: “It’s kind of more movie-ish, dare I say that, than book-ish?”. Yep. Great looking stories on whichever platform works best. And this one ended up being on screen.

We can’t wait to keep tweaking and bring it out. End of this year is the plan. Till then, have a peak.
