    @beefy_clyro - I bet that feels like a relief to be so close to the finishing line. Keep poking that artist with sticks until they send over the graphics :)

    Got your PM and replied, cheers.
    @HoneyTribeStudios, The relief will be huge. I never imagined in my wildest dreams how much work would have to go into this once i started rolling with my 1st idea. In fact, the 1st idea was the lightsword section and that itself was going to be a game, i then decided to elaborate on that and here i am today with a lot more to it! Lots of attributes, loads of arts, music, sounds .. and my man hours ... Too finally get it released will be zoo worth it!
    @beefy
    Sorry for being selfish but ....
    Its been too long now and i don't think i can wait much longer , can you please finish this already so i can play it !!!

    Haha I hope it will be a welcomed break for you away from your adventure game! We got to play games at some point right? I just hope people enjoy it, this has been a long thread that has been running since September with regular updates, if i hear people genuinely like it, it'll be an amazing feeling :)
    You should blame me Roy. But I think he's finished any day now:)
    Almost there ... Just a few images away :D

    Heres a little promo video, just a bit of a rework from the 1st one, just trying to sort out the little delay in transitions around the 20 second mark;

    Star Serum has now been submitted to Apple :D :D :D

    The video looks amazing and the art fab. Well done one, and all involved. Let it be featured, new and notable, and your coffers filled over the brim.

    good luck. kip

    er.....Wow !!! :)

    and vast amounts of good luck etc. The music and video are Oscar winners alone...:0

    I don't like the magic hands stuff in the trailer. Can't really make out the game. When trailers focus on non-game footage it makes me think they are trying to hide boring gameplay.

    Also you can capture footage bigger than 480x320 if you use Aaron's change camera size trick. (Which is adding a change attribute to make the camera width 480 and camera height 320 as the first rule in the scene. Then changing to any other screen size - ipad, mac hd, web legacy - whatever your desktop + screen capture can handle)

    @HoneyTribeStudios .. Like anything, unfortunately you can't please everyone. I do appreciate your opinion however and its good to see the other side, it's not for everyone and thats fine.
    Regarding the video sizing, its set by the hands size so will always appear smaller. The actual raw video is 1920 x 1080, youtube just makes it smaller.

    Cheers Ace, shouldn't be too much longer now, it was submitted to Apple around 5 days or so ago so should be going into review soon-ish.

    @Braydon_SFX haha who knows, its definitely possible, depends on how much time you put into it :)

    Not good news I'm afraid :(
    My app went into review today and i've received an email saying that it requires additional review time ... I take it this is normally bad and leads to a rejection?

    No, I read on another forum that it just means they are taking longer to review it. Clearly they like it so much they want to finish the whole game ;)

    Edit: Also gives you some more time to get some PR done

    Haha that would be nice wouldn't it, followed by a lovely feature by them :)
    I wonder if its the lightsaber section they need to get checked ... Hmmm. I'll be gutted if its rejected obviously but there shouldn't be too much work needed to fix it. Then again, theres plenty of lightsaber apps on the store so i don't know. Thats the only thing i can think of if there is a problem with anything!

    Don't worry buddy, I had two apps that I got that email through for and they both went on no problem.

    Cheers Ace ... Heres to hoping.

    How long did you have to wait once you received those emails?

    @beefy_clyro
