It’s been a while since we posted on the website so I though I would just update you on what we’ve been doing. It has been a busy few weeks here. We have just finished development of a new casual/puzzle game which will be coming out after iPhone OS 3.0 is released next week. We have also been working hard on the recently released One Man Band. Updates to it and One Man Band Lite should be coming soon. These updates really increase performance and memory management. We have also dropped the price of One Man Band down to $0.99.

We are also working on updates to F1 Mobile and F1 Mobile Lite. These will come out after the iPhone OS 3.0 release and will include built-in google maps (so you don’t have to leave the application) as well as track maps fixes and bug fixes. We are also looking at squeezing a few other features into this release.

So as you can tell there should be a lot of new/updated stuff coming out in the next few weeks. Follow us on twitter @hotrodsoftware to get the latest and be notified when the apps are on the store.

Here is a quick promo video for One Man Band:

The audio from the video is a recording of one of me playing a song with the app

To celebrate the release of our new app ‘One Man Band’ we are going to give away 2o copies absolutely free. Below this post are 10 promo codes which you can redeem by clicking redeem on the right hand side of the main iTunes Store page. Unfortunately Apple only allows us to give promo codes to US customers at the minute so this is only available to US store members. We are also going to give away 10 more codes on twitter throughout the day. (twitter.com/hotrodsoftware).

One Man Band has just appeared on the app store. It costs £1.19/$1.99 and is available here: http://bit.ly/75xYY

Let us know what you think!

One Man Band was developed with the musical challenged in mind. Most other music creation apps expect you to have some musical knowledge but One Man Band makes it easy for anybody to be creative. The main screen of the app features a bass guitar on the left hand side of teh screen and an electric guitar on the right. Each has five frets. To start playing just hold down on a fret. This begins a loop. Play bass and guitar loops simultaneously to make your song!

Once you have that mastered you can add in drums to give your song the full band effect. To start the drum loop just shake the device. Now all you need to do is play the guitar’s in time with the drums.

One Man Band has four genres:

1. Funk
2. Acoustic
3. Rock
4. Dance

Each has it’s own drum beat and guitar loops.

If you have mastered a song and want to make it more personal you can also edit the volume of each instrument in the settings.

Below are some screenshots of the app (click for full version):

We hope you like what you see! Tomorrow we will be posting audio samples of what can be achieved in One Man Band and later this week we will be posting a video of it in action!
