    Oh no, I love Time Pilot. One of the first games that I ever played in the Arcades as a kid that had me hooked on games forever! I STILL love that game to this day! :)

    So great job, this is very reminiscent of that...!

    So are you going to go back to work on your Time Pilot game after this one? :)

    I was only kidding, mate! High five for Time Pilot! :D

    I may do it. I can certainly re-use a lot of the code from Kraken in such a venture. But it will have to wait I'm afraid!

    And thanks to everyone, again, for the kind words - I hope it lives up to your expectations! :D

    QS :D

    Technically, we basically competitors here. The best iPhone apps from here are fighting for money from the iTunes store.

    But when I saw this video I didn't feel jealousy, I felt a sense of pride. I was happy for Quantum Sheep, as this is a good looking game. GameSalad projects are starting to mature and the power of this community is starting to grow.

    I think everyone's starting to find their feet a bit, that's for sure :D

    I haven't even told you about the scoring system, Research, the different enemy types and their behaviours, different level layouts and gameplay types... there's a lot there that you just don't see in this vid.

    Sounds intriguing, looks very playable!! I look forward to seeing more...
  • SingleSparqSingleSparq Member Posts: 1,339
    Must say QS I'm a little disappointed... Disappointed that it's not out sooner with all it's awesomeness! (had ya going there!)

    Looking mighty fine I must say and will probably trounce the retro style game I was trying to publish this week (Thanks to GS update, I'm delayed) with my measly 5 levels. But I shall wait patiently as you finalize the greatness and look forward to playing.

    Oh! I've always been intrigued by your game. Certainly something I'd like to see more of! Make sure you announce it when it's ready :D

    Will do - if GS update hadn't caused an issue with some graphics - home now so will investigate. BTW it's very hot here in canada and I don't feel like mowing the lawn - sounds like a sheep job ;)

    Well I am really looking forward to it.

    One thing I noticed is that you hope to get it submitted by Friday for a 23rd launch.

    Apple is typically taking longer than 7 days lately. Even for updates.
    Just a heads up.

    Yeah - your issue with your graphics reminded me you mentioned your game in this thread - it's been in the works a while hasn't it? I remember seeing it ages ago.

    Should be good!

    @James

    Thanks for that info - I was going to ask.

    GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

    ;)

    It's looking like I'm going to need this weekend at least to finish up a few things on it, so I wouldn't be able to submit till Monday at the earliest... so we're probably looking at July 30th... :(

    Still, it lets me add a whole lot more stuff to it with the extra time. I added a player ship shadow today, which is a great indicator of how close to the ground you are. Makes a huge difference - can't believe I didn't think of it sooner!

    Also, it means I can go out for drinks on Friday \o/

    Thanks again,

    QS :D

    First time I'm hyped by a gamesalad game.
    Really, I can't wait to play it!
  • SingleSparqSingleSparq Member Posts: 1,339
    Yes QS - 7 months - I just want it done some I can move on to a new iPad game.

    Sorry about all the grief from the "thread that won't be mentioned" today. I watched that most of the day and agree 100% on your stance - but lets move on from that and get back to making games.

  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    I'm going to keep tapping on your window until you release this game... I can't wait!

    Thanks mate - glad she likes the baddies - there's three types in total, and the vid only shows two. If I can get something working today, I'll try and post up another vid. Or screenshots at least!

    Thanks, sir. I've always liked your games a lot, so this means lots to me!
    Unfortunately, I haven't tested it on a 3G , but it runs like a dog on a 1G ipod touch :( And that's before I even put in the powerups :( - hence only for 3GS upwards...

    QS :D

    I'm guessing the reason why it's only for 3GS+ is the amount that's going on in the game?

    I'm having similar issues with anything below 3GS for my game, and am starting to think that I may need to limit it too.. Are you expecting any issues with sales because of this?

    Great work btw :)

    Absolutely the reason. I've tried to optimise it (and will do more towards the end) but the thing just grinds to a halt after a certain number of levels/if there's too much going on.
    reddotinc said:

    I'm not too worried about sales. The question is, do I want to compromise the game to get more sales, or do I want to make the best game I can?

    Number two always wins for me!
    reddotinc said:

    Thanks - that's very kind!

    I'm starting to hate my friend Jake - he keeps suggesting things... which means more work for me!

    QS :D
