edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
Literally, just a couple minutes ago, I set the release date for my first app for June 12th, Picnic Defense. Thank you all deeply from the bottom of my heart for all the help you gave me on the forums, I'm 11 and a real new guy to Gamesalad, so thank you all for helping me greatly. Here is the trailer!

    Trailer is awesome! Did you use iMovie for that?
  • TJMNUTTJMNUT Member Posts: 236
    After Effects for the effects. Compositing in IMovie.

    I followed TSB's tutorial on uploading to apple, I set it to June 12, but there is no button that says ready to upload, it was just an orange button that said prepare to upload. What do i do?
  • jb15jb15 Member Posts: 602
    Click prepare to upload.
  • TJMNUTTJMNUT Member Posts: 236
    it's not a button, it's text
  • jb15jb15 Member Posts: 602
    Oh--now I see. :) Try clicking binary details, navigate around in iTunes Connect until you see a button that says "Ready for Upload" It'll be blue, in the top right corner.

    Looks great.
    But it won't be out on June 12th.
    It goes through reviewing before it releases.
    After you upload your binary it could take up to 2 weeks.
    On average i wait 1 week for review.

    PS. I was about your age when i got into game development.
    But that was 3 years ago...

    what does, does your game have any encryption mean?
  • TJMNUTTJMNUT Member Posts: 236
    and also, in the application loader, what does TSB mean by find your app, does he mean compress your gamesalad project?
  • JeffreyShimaneJeffreyShimane Member Posts: 372
    Your game does not have encryption (I don't think GS supports that with the files it outputs for the App Store). In the Application Loader, I believe you need to zip the files that GameSalad sent back to you after you published (if it's not zipped already, I can't remember) and then send the zip file via the Application Loader to Apple.

    where do they send the file?
  • JeffreyShimaneJeffreyShimane Member Posts: 372
    By they, you mean GameSalad? When you publish, they send the files back to you (during the publishing process, you specify where the files get saved on your Mac). You then need to upload it to Apple via the Application Loader.

    To a top secret facility heavily guarded by Apple and military personnel. No one knows where this facility is located because it is so classified. Steve Jobs doesn't even know!!! Employees must go through an extensive background check to before being permitted to work in this department. Once someone determines where the facility is located, they have to pack up and move again. This is why it takes them so long to review apps because they are always having to move.

    To be perfectly honest, it seems allright for a first game but I'm not really sold by the gameplay sequence.

    However, Tea Map and Picnic Defence are really awesome names :) Great work on the trailer seriously. You seem to have a great sens of marketing, especially for your age.
