Looks like we got our Beta testers. I'll let everyone know more when the build is ready to start testing. BTW since Game Center wont be ready when the game ships, I'll be integrating OpenFeint. This is the last major thing I need to do before the testing can start.
I was really happy to read the preview from the guys at TouchAholics. There are some things I'm trying to do with the game, like different weapons to suit different peoples play styles, that I'm glad to see being recognized and seen as being helpful to the game. Now I'm hoping that TouchArcade will also want to do a preview... hint, hint. =) Update on when the game will come out: I was originally planning for it to be out in August. Right now it's looking more like September.
That's already in the beta actually. You can adjust the transparency of the grid (and the HUD as well) to zero if you like.
Hi everyone. It took a little longer than anticipated, but Alien Space has been submitted for AppStore approval! I want to thank all the beta testers I got from this forum, many fixes and improvements came from their feedback. I'll try to post some new screenshots and a gameplay video as soon as I can. Right now I'm too shell-shocked from the all-night bug fixing and submission process marathon I just went through. =) I tell you what, Apple doesnt make it easy.
And some more... Let me know what you guys think. I'm hoping to have the new gameplay video up on YouTube soon. .
Ok, this is the new trailer for the game. I've been working pretty hard on this game (basically just in my spare time) for the last 2 years and I'm pretty proud of that way it came out. I hope you guys like it too. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Epic! The game looks simply stunning. I see this game as being a contender with Meteor Blitz for best dual stick shooting type game. @dev, I wish Alien Space the best of luck and success in the appstore!
Thnx!! I really appreciate the sentiments. Oddly enough, last month at the studio where I work we finished a project, oh, lets call it a fairly large music game for the Wii. Yesterday a bunch of us were, uhmm... lets say, freed to pursue other interests. So anyway, looks like I'll be having lots of time now to continue working and improving Alien Space. =) .
The game was submitted to Apple for review last Thursday. I'm not sure how long approval is taking these days, but hoping it wont be much longer. I'll keep everyone updated as soon as I see movement on their end.
