    Well, it's been submitted!

    I'm off out to get unbearably wonderful in celebration!

    Fingers crossed!

    I'll upload a new vid over the weekend!

    Cheers for the support, fellas. I don't expect it to do much, but I'm loving playing it - so that's a good sign, right?

    Have a great Friday/weekend!

    QS :D

    Launch Video :D

    Hey guys, hope you're having a top weekend! :D

    As promised, here's another video!



    If you read the youtube description, you'll see essentially what will appear on the app store (hopefully) on Thursday 12th August when I hope it'll be available!

    Thank you all so much for your encouragement, and I look forward to some constructive criticism when it's released!

    There's always room for improvement in a game, and seeing as I have at least a couple of updates planned, my sheepy ears will be open to your thoughts!

    Thanks again everyone - hope you like the vid :D


    Cheers,

    QS :D

    I'm hoping whoever reviews this at Apple sees the sheep logo at the start, calls everyone over, and they all go 'awwwwwwwwww' together, heads tilted very slightly to one side :D

    Then they might chuck it into New and Noteworthy...

    Well, that's *my* plan ;)

    Glad you guys like the video - it's nothing flash - I'm not GameLoft - just one guy doing this as a hobby :D

    Thanks again everyone! Fingers crossed it'll be out this week!

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    Forget Gameloft mate, it's all about QS! I'm pretty sure you'll get a New and Noteworthy out of this beauty! Goodnight buddy.

    Thursday sounds great !
    Do you support (already) an option to flip the screen, because of the Getoutofmyway- earphones ?
    General question: Is it difficult to program the flip-screen ?
    Good start and cu in the store

    Playing right now: Osmos,ChuckGnome,Helsing's Fire
    Waiting for: Kraken,Gravity Runner and Love Battle Princess !
    Forever: Reckless Racing and Mirror's Edge

    Flip screen wasn't a problem - and yes, it is supported! The 'getoutofmyway earphones' is something I'm acutely aware of! :D

    In other news, Kraken *may* be getting a mention on Pocketgamer (www.pocketgamer.co.uk) here in the UK.

    I want to hug my game (and the pocketgamer folks too, though they may object!)

    Come on Apple! RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

    (wow, that felt good!)

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    Getting featured on PG should help get the word out for sure!

    Except for the fact that PG will cover any crap you throw at it. They seriously need some quality control when it comes to article choice. So anything good will get hidden under dozens of other crap articles in hours.

    Anyways, good news is that its approved :)

    Thanks! It's in review right now! And you know, a mention on the TA front page would be fine by me too ;)

    I really hope you guys like it. And I just wanted to thank those of you who've been active in this thread, and all the others that just looked, for your interest!

    I guess I'll be making a 'Release the Kraken' thread soon!

    Thanks again everyone! I'm looking forward to your responses and feedback!

    QS :D

    Very true indeed. Still, any press is better than none.

    Pocketgamer news story

    Wow!

    I woke up today VERY late, and had a quick check around the usual sites, and found this news story and a link to the new trailer on Pocketgamer!

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Attack+of+the+Kraken/news.asp?c=22741

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Attack+of+the+Kraken/video.asp?c=22742


    What a buzz!!!

    I can confirm that the game is definitely out on Thursday now, on time, as planned!

    Working on the lite version which I'll hopefully submit to Apple later today - it'll have four out of the 16 levels available!

    It's all bloody go here, I can tell thee!

    Thanks again everyone!

    Stay on target... stay on target...

    QS :D
