Title: My game has been released!!! :-) Them Dumb Sheep...
Post by: zapposh on September 01, 2011, 11:10:09 AM
Now, don't go wild on me saying that this is a commercial post and all. I'm just a guy in the basement and don't live on this.

What you guys don't know is that not to "disturb" the family budget, I decided to make games to pay for my games. And as I love both, it kinda makes sense. :-)
Well anyway, to my big surprise way ahead of schedule, this night while I was fast asleep, Apple validated my first game, so I'm all crazy this morning.

Simple gameplay, inspired by the games we love from the beginning of the 80s. It's a happy day for me. ;D

For those who wish to check it out, here the link:

Have fun at Eurocade.

Thanks guys. :-)
The feeling is totally unexpected. Quite a headbuzz going.

Hey, you're spending 0,79€ on potential arcade restauration. ;-)

Not entirely true....isn't 30% going to Apple ?

True, then deduct VAT and taxes on my side and it leaves me with roughly 29cents. But hey, it's a start. :-)

If I didn't have a load of cabs to restore I would love to tinker with the iOS SDK a bit.....wonder how hard it is to code anything....

I was thinking the same... I have a TON of ideas, arcade related of course  :P What is the language used to code for iOS?

To all who want to try without having years for learning C programming: Go with gamesalad! It's awesome.
You will need to know some math, sometimes quite complex, but hardly any coding! Most jobs can be done through expressions and conditions. On top of that, unless you go pro, it's free!
