Talking Carl is an app with a cute figure ‘Carl’ who listens to what you say and then says it back to you in a cute ‘Carl’ voice. You can also poke or tickle him and watch his reaction. It’s a $1 app.
The main reason this app is great is the character design, done by a French 3d artist Yann Le Coroller
The app hasn’t got a lot of attention, but to me it’s a unique concept that has great art and a good example of an indie project that I’m happy to have on my iPhone.
I ♥ indie apps.
I’m starting this as a new project to highlight awesome apps that are from indie developers.
I want to highlight apps that have heart and soul of their creators in them, delivering innovative concepts, addictive gameplay, thoughtful depth.
Sure the low barrier to entry that creates the possibility for great indie apps also creates the possibility for untold multitudes of terrible apps.
But this is precisely why people must champion the great indie apps: to allow corporate marketing dollars to pick and choose which apps live and die is to allow creativity to wither and mediocrity to flourish.
