Pangea Software today announced that all of its tvOS apps designed for the new fourth-generation Apple TV include support for 3DTVs, allowing users to play the company's games in 3D.
All of our tvOS games will support 3DTV :) https://t.co/n7vhShqMdG

Developer Steven Troughton-Smith shared an image of Pangea Software game Bugdom 2 in 3D on the Apple TV earlier today, after which the company confirmed in a press release that its entire lineup of apps will offer 3DTV support. The 3DTV support is implemented using side-by-side 3D, which is a standard 3D implementation technique compatible with all 3DTVs.

All of Pangea's games have the capability of playing in stereo-3D on any HDTV which is 3DTV capable. This not only adds an extra visual element to the games, but in many cases it gives the player an advantage since 3D makes it easier to aim weapons and calculate jumps. Additionally, all of the games are Game Controller compatible, so they can be played with either the Siri Remote or with any tvOS compatible Gamepad.
Pangea Software offers a wide range of games in the iOS App Store that are available on tvOS as of today, including Air Wings, Nanosaur 2, Nucleus, Otto Matic, and Bugdom 2. In the future, additional games from the company will be available for the Apple TV, including Cro-Mag Rally and Air Wings Intergalactic.

(View all)I'm so happy to see Pangea thriving. I remember being 14 or 15 years old and I emailed their head developer, the one that always took the stage at WWDC for demos, asking for some advice on iOS and Mac development and telling him how much I enjoyed his company's products. To my surprise he responded! He said how great it was that I was learning development and that I should keep at it. If I recall he may have even sent some source code from Cro-Mag Rally or Enigmo or something. Well I took it to heart, and am now employed as development intern at an ad agency and pursuing my CS degree! I hope to be as patient and influential as that man was when the time comes. A little encouragement and advice really goes a long way, especially when you're that young.
Believe it or not I actually remember you! Good to hear you're pursuing it!-Brian
Bahaha so many people here are going to **** bricks when they read there is 3D but no 4K. o_O:p
Not as much as those people who buy 4K TV's and can't find any decent content for it for the next couple of years...
