Anthony — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 08:26:18 +0000

Orchestral Media Developments are delighted to announce that work has been completed on the stunning iPad game The Lighthouse. Designed by industry veteran Stuart Burrows, developed by our good friends at Four Door Lemon, with publishing duties handled Kavcom. We had a great time supplying all the watery goodness to really bring the game to life, and created a main theme to capture the solitary nature of The Lighthouse, and the treacherous high seas where peril awaits!
