Same as my weekend apart from the prootyping thing We had three episodes to catch up on, we'd dloaded one to watch while away but three of us huddled round my phone just didn't work so we made a bit if a thing with dips and stuff and watched three episodes in a row in the dark while wrapped under duvets ( not because gas and electric cut off lol, just not used to the bloody cold yet) Speaking of Doctor Who, my daughter said to ask if the teleporters in SOS are supposed to look like the Tardis?
The teleporters were actually fashioned after the ones found in Lunar Jetman, which was the Spectrum sequel to Jetpac! BUT - I have no idea if those originals were based on the Tardis - Sooooo... they very well may have been! I do love that you made a 'thing' about watching the episodes. Back in the day (about 25 years ago!) I was at Uni when Twin Peaks started. No internet back then! And only one of us had a TV in their room! Imagine that! So every week we'd assemble as a group of about 10 people to watch it. And we used to get donuts and coffee (or tea in my case!) for the occasion. We also used to collect logs and have them sit with us (though that makes no sense if you didn't watch Twin Peaks!). I'll never forget those days. It's lovely to make an occasion of something as ordinary as watching TV QS =D
Hey Sheepy, you're on PG...again http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/148Apps+news/news.asp?c=62131 Btw, was just browsing the AppStore and realized I hadn't resubmitted my review when the update went live!!!! All is good now though. *scowls and glares at everyone else who needs to do the same*
Thanks Rich - much appreciated! *tries to do a scowly/glary face but fails* Ah well! Tiny but fun news: The game was mentioned v. briefly on speccylive I do love seeing my beloved ZX Spectrum mentioned - and it's even more fun when one of my games is the reason! Giggling like a loon here QS =D
Hello Quantum, would it be very difficult to implement an orientation switch? I always play with headphones on. So the standard orientation is a bit awkward. Strange thing is that the game starts in the orientation i want, but after a second the screen flips #
Hello I'm just off to bed, but can I ask what device and OS number you're on? I've got a 5s and still on iOS7 and screen rotation works fine on that. Another player brought this up with his iPhone 6+ though (which I assume has iOS8 on it!) and he has the same issue/request! If anyone else has a device that *isn't* an iPhone 6 and is using OS 8, it'd be good to hear if it works for you or if there's a problem there too! So It may just be a 'newer device' problem, or it may be an OS problem - or both! But I will look into it for you! Thanks, and hope you're enjoying the game! QS =D
Cheers - and thanks for bringing it to my attention! Aha - now that's very interesting. iOS 8 it is then! Thanks for the info! QS =D
Are we going to or have we already talked about Spoiler the secret stuff? I'm totally confused about what to do there. I think the game told me I unlocked one yesterday, but I have no idea what I'm even looking for!
Well it *is* a secret! Happy to keep it under spoiler tags, but I will say that you can find the 'secrets' page by pressing the howling wolf button (it's under the twitter button on the title screen). If you want to ask about secret stuff, I'll have to clear it with MI6, but I'm sure it'll be fine to disclose QS =D Also: I really want to point out something about the ending, but don't want to spoil it. Let me know if you want to know - we can add spoiler tags so as not to, er, 'spoil' things for those working their way to lvl 100
Well, the button takes you to the secrets page - right now there's the ability to just play space missions if you like, and there's the secret character too. It's just a bit of fun, really! Some good news - I've tracked down the 'breathless' achievement bug - you will get it automagically in the next update, along with iOS8 screen rotation thingy. I'll be testing the build tomorrow hopefully, and will send it off to Apple on Saturday if all is well! Cheers! QS =D
Hey all! It's been a few days since the last update - just wanted to let you know that I've fixed things (As per my last post) and I'm just testing to make sure it all works! I *would* have sent the new build off earlier, but something came up suddenly. Sorry about that In other news, I'm kind of exploring what to do next. SOS took so long to make that I really want to make something a little smaller/quicker to make. It's something new that I thought of recently and tried out, and it's progressing quite nicely. Here's a teaser shot for you: Anyway, the update to SOS should go out tonight, and will arrive as soon as Apple approves it! Hope you're still enjoying the game QS =D
I'm still enjoying the game but haven't been able to play as much as I'd like, I don't think I've actually played anything at all in the last week or so. I was hoping to get some time in this afternoon but I've promised daughter to play garden warfare with her on the Xbox, if I suck at that as much as I do modern warfare she will not want me hanging around long haha.
Garden Warfare sounds like a fantastic game!!! Someone make this now! So your already at work on a new game qs? Awesome! Edit. It seems that the new p vs z tag line is garden warfare. What a shame for a great idea for a new game.
I think Garden Warfare's an Xbox game - it's like a team based 3rd person shooter or something Look, don't ask me, I only work here! And yes, I'm working on something for a game jam/competition, which is ace as there's some pretty strict deadlines associated with that! Because of this, I'll be finishing off the competition entry by next Thursday - it'll be a complete game, but I'll carry on working on it a little, getting feedback, polishing, adding GC etc, so it should be out by December with any luck! I am totally in love with it, which helps! I've got the main game loop e.g. win/lose conditions and I'm just tidying that up and adding lots of little things in there including music, unlocks, stuff etc I got the controls working really well today - they're ace, so I'm very happy right now! But obviously I can't show you as it's for a competition! Still, I'll make a video for you guys when I reveal it next week - it'll be fun QS =D
