Smoothie Operator has been extended to today because there was a few more tweaks that needed to get done. Although, that would be on top of all the other errands we needed to do today - so stressss. I will work on yesterday's video later today, and hopefully I'll have some gameplay clips of the finished game in it.
Monday Night Stephen's working on Smoothie Operator still, and technically, it is already Tuesday. We got quite ambitious with this one, and though we managed to be feature complete, the game lacked a lot of polish that we're only able to take care of now. Video has been edited, although I only have footage from Saturday night. Some of the video I thought we'd lost were magically salvaged! Although I am missing a bunch of progress reports. :/ If I find other footage, I will add them on before I upload. It might be another 10 minute long video of randomness... XD Good luck to those who plan on watching it. new blog up - Http://unobservedmusings.blogspot.com
Yep, we're behind schedule, but other than two bugs, the only other must-add feature is Audio. So submission tonight will happen. Lopi is fixing one bug and I'm about to start on the other ... so we're actually pretty close. Some screenshots:
I wish I could post screenshots of sounds, because the sounds we have in sound so sick that they pretty much tripled the goodness of this game.
Again with this Smoothie Operator It's Tuesday morning, and there are still some major testing and polish going on. If we had punishments set up this week, we'd be punished big time for this. Good thing that was never officially implemented... Sunday Midnight feels so far away at this point. Weekend video's uploading and should be up around 10AM MST. I found a bunch of 5:30AM footage of the boys from yesterday with their intimate conversations caught on film! I might be lying. I'd been sick Saturday night and most of Sunday, plus there was a whole kerfluffle about footage going missing and cameras going corrupt. So the video is this mash-up of weekend madness. Good luck viewing! Will edit this post with a link later. Good morning! Now I'm going to bed.
*Ahem -- preferably, "people," "the team," "co-workers," and/or other genderqueer-friendly labels! Smoothie Operator has been -- at long last -- submitted to the App Store. ...And the Broken Kings House promptly keeled over and slept. ~Josiah, dragged along for the ride
I don't see what the big deal is. Boys are boys and girls are girls. XD it's just a matter of fact and not necessarily gender.
I am just bugging you based on my exaggerated pet peeve. (although sometimes boys are girls and girls are boys but that's neither here nor there! Let's talk about games!)
Did we mention in this topic that Smoothie Operator was submitted to the app store at 7:00am this morning, once again a late night but this time also plus a day, late? I think we did. That's two games in 7 days of development - a little behind schedule but still pretty insane. I don't think it's been mentioned in this topic, officially anyways, that Skwerl is available in the app store. It is now free, as well, for a limited time, so if you have been watching this topic and were curious if we could make a good game in a weekend, well, now is your chance to find out for real Skwerl Skwerl is a fast paced, addictive game!

As the squirrel ascends the tree in search of nuts, he must be wary of the many threats out to get him, from birds to bees to spiders to leaves (??!?!?!!)! With gorgeous backgrounds to boot, Skwerl is a game that will appeal both viscerally and visually to many. How high can you climb? Features: -Jumping Action -Super, like totally really advanced AI -(THAT'S) A LOT OF NUTS -Realistic squirrel fights. Like, afterwards, you'll be like, "wow, that squirrel fight was realistic! I feel bad for the squirrel that lost!" and you will cry for his loss. It is that realistic. yeah. -Addictivity. This is a new word that had to be created because this game was so addictive, the old words DIDN'T WORK! -Bees! Hope you're not allergic. GAME CENTER INCLUDED! BATTERIES NOT REQUIRED! except for your iPhone battery. That one is required.

Darn tree leaves. undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #114 undeadcow, Jan 19, 2011 Please consider making these compatable with iOs versions lower than 4.2 dettiekinz Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2011 91 0 0 Calgary http://www.brokenkings.com #115 dettiekinz, Jan 19, 2011 Skwerl high-score tips and iOS? Swiping leaves gives you extra points. Disturbing bee hives, fighting squirrels, and collecting nuts are multipliers. So the higher you get, and the more multipliers you collect along the way, your score gets higher too. Good luck! Re: iOS earlier than 4.2, I'm not really sure about how it works. Game Center only works on 4.2 and up... So, I don't know about making it compatible with lower iOses... I think none of the devices in the house could actually test in lower Oses even. I think my 3Gs was once upon a time running an older OS, but since I was playing Skwerl on it last week, that's history now too. Josiah's iPod Touch might still be running an older OS, so that might.... I don't really get how programming works at all, so I will stop thinking too hard about that before I hurt myself. Sorry I was no help. XD xdanleex Well-Known Member Sep 28, 2009 899 1 0 Procrastinating LA,CA http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/beshio #116 xdanleex, Jan 19, 2011 Thanks.

Upgrade people! - Matt dettiekinz Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2011 91 0 0 Calgary http://www.brokenkings.com #119 dettiekinz, Jan 20, 2011 I'm not part of the game team, and already I'm feeling a bit burnt out even. XD My work doesn't really stop when the game is done either, so that may be part of it. But with Smoothie, it kind of bled over till Tuesday morning... And everyone involved was super spent. I'm kind of dreading Friday morning from the memory of how Smoothie went. XD dettiekinz Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2011 91 0 0 Calgary http://www.brokenkings.com #120 dettiekinz, Jan 20, 2011 People really should update. Game Center is a pretty powerful asset for game makers AND players... It opens up so many options... Global multiplayer? Achievements and score boards? It's exciting to think of... I had a couple people email me about still running older OSes on their jailbroken phones... So that might actually even be why there's such a disconnect with upgrading.
