Velociraptor Safari sequel Raptor Copter comes to iPhone

By on January 15, 2009

OffRoad Velociraptor Safari has spawned a sequel on the iPhone.

I’ve blogged before about this game, written on the Unity engine, which showcases how developers are making cool 3D games in a browser, but the revenue model remained unclear.

Well now that Unity works on the iPhone, new business models are becoming clear. Raptor Copter is now available for $0.99 in the App store, offering a revenue stream for developers Blurst.

The combination of Unity and iPhone could be very powerful. Historically, I have been profoundly sceptical of the mobile phone opportunity but the emergence of the iPhone seems to be changing that. I expect iPhone games to be some of the great successes of 2009.
