Us BIT students can’t forget that there are other fellow Carleton students we have to watch for when it comes to the gaming and interactive industry.

Tom Goldsmith, a 3rd year Carleton student enrolled in the Game Development stream of Computer Science helped found the developing company Broken Bone Studios.Along with two other team members, Broken Bone has recently launched their first entry into the world of gaming with an iPhone App entitled “Modern Defense.” Modern Defense is described as “a unique blend between castle defense and real-time strategy gaming. Placed on a battlefield where resources are scarce and enemies are relentless, a solid strategy is the key to surviving. Battle your way through wave after wave of enemies, where the only limit is how far you are willing to go! Defend your fortress against increasingly challenging enemies, including the fast attacking jetpack troops and merciless armoured tanks! Put fear into the hearts of your enemies by training and upgrading up to seven types of soldiers, from shotgun wielders to tank-hunting rocket troops.”

The game is available in the App Store for a low price of just $0.99, and if you’re lookin’ to just try it out you can download the Lite version for FREE! The App has already achieved thousands of downloads in countries as far as Japan and Taiwan. Currently the App ranks in the top 75 strategy games in several countries including our home and native land, Canada.
