Creature24 is an odd band of brothers who will be expanding upon their already marketable resume of achievements by programming an iPhone game in 24 hours, live, and sociable. Their fans will be given some love too – to be mentioned in the game’s Fan Wall, just follow Creature24′s website and Twitter account: @Creature24hr for the goodness. The game will be started from just a ‘skeleton idea’, Creature24 will hank and pank a game from idea to submission to Apple in 24 hours!

The three lads represent their respective companies:

• Binary Hammer
• Javira
• lemon multimedia
