Nine-year-old Owain Weinert, who has acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia, told the charity, the Make A Wish Foundation, that his wish was to create a mobile phone game.
And his wish has been granted thanks to Seattle game maker 4th & Battery, according to a report in Cult of Mac.
Owain's arcade-style game - Allied Star Police - is now in the Apple App Store. It's free and it works on the iPhone and iPad.
“Owain was like every other designer and developer I’ve worked with,” said Matthew Lee Johnston, senior producer at 4th & Battery. “The minute he walked in the door he handed us a fully realized game design, figured out to the last detail…When he first sat down to play it, he naturally knew what to do and won his first round easily, which felt to us like we did a good job executing on his plan.”And, as for Owain, he's happy with his creation:
“My brother can’t stop playing it, my dad can’t stop playing it, and neither can I,” Owain said. “This started off as a dream of mine and now my friends and people all over the world can play my creation.”(Via: Cult of Mac)
