On Halloween, let's remember one of the greatest writers in horror and fiction ever: With the universe he created, he brought me hours, days, month of entertainment and a lots of creeps. He was a man who, at the beginning of the industrial age - and as humankind believed to be the greatest race of all, able to accomplish everything - showed the world that they maybe aren't supreme, but rather unanware, weak and powerless. He was a misunderstood dreamer and a realist at the same time. RIP, Howard.
Trick ... or Treat? Happy Halloween everyone! I woke up this morning to see that the Necronomicon is now "In Review" by Apple...so if all goes well, could be anywhere from 2 hours to 2 weeks before it's approved. Well, at least it's something...
which reminds me: @Dustin: It would be REALLY COOL if you could remind players in-game of the birthday and death anniversary of HPL when they are playing on these 2 days. I hope it´s 2 hours! And Happy Halloween!
"in review" usually means hopefully only a few hours or a day to go... if you haven't set a fixed release date or it gets rejected. So, when it is in review - without fixed release date - it will be released directly after the successful approval process.
Well, the review process doesn't take as long anymore as in 2008/2009.... Most games go though very fast, but a few games are still staying in review for 3-7 days - but I dunno why. Nonetheless, if everything goes normal, it should be available soon. The longest waiting time is the time between submission and status "in review", as far as I know. But I do think you can easily go to sleep withous missing the games release... but... uhm... you never know...
"In review" !!! I need more valium! urgently! Seems Apple have fun now with the game : ) and happy Halloween, pity, but we haven't such celebrations here : ( just some clubs have fake-events few hours. the time to check the release each few hours?)) maybe Dustin will make some small competition - first who will write "released" (and it will be true lol) will get a promo-code? )) but I believe that this "first" will buy the game for any price if he will wait it so much and watch)) Dustin, don't keep silent, like you have missed a post about promo-codes competitions : ) few will be for reviews sites, but still about 20-30 could be shared between people, who wants to get the game very much, but as far our life is hard - haven't really posibility to buy the game ?) For example I haven't posibility as far I am living in ukraine and it was a problem to connect to usa's appstore, so I am using a credit-card of a person, who live in us..
I will buy the game anyway to support you - and I am sure, 1.99$ isn't enough for this, this can be higher priced maybe - it feels already like a steal! Everybody should have 1.99$, that's not even the price of a big burger.
Hi Slava (and Everyone), I haven't missed the posts I'm following them all when I can get the time, but I won't be home until tomorrow sometime - but for sure we'll put some promo codes up fro grabs when I get them, and I'll post a detailed tutorial for the game which I've been working on - but honestly, it's not that complex a game despite what some have said, I think if you read through the in-game tutorial anyone should be able to start playing it without major problems. Sure, there is somewhat of a learning curve, but it's not anything thats going to take hours and hours to learn. So have fun with it, and lets hope it appears on the store sometime today!
Hi Dustin! hehe, Im joking, I know : ) but it should be some competition.. : ) e.g. if a person wrote about the game (and about H.P. Lovecraft!) somewhere (on some more or less popular space: on his site, his status in social network, review site etc) - he will get a promo-code.. : ) so he will support game's advertisement, so support developers, so support other players, so it will be fair
lol, danke : ) Dustin, you should be prepared for some party in your house : ) soon you'll have an army of Lovecraft's fans, which will come there to spend good time with horror stories, I'll be also there with a bottle of Nemiroff (first/main factory is 2 km from my home lol )
Necronomicon rejected Sorry guys, but its probably going to be another week or whatever - rejected on a very, very slight technicality which can be easily fixed, I can't really go into details without risk of having my iOS dev account pulled by Apple - but its something Slava can fix in less than a minute and resubmit. We'll keep you posted ...
No worries, that goes faster, Dustin. A re-submitted app with only a little need to fix is normally checked again very quickly, and just for this fix - so with a little luck, the game will be approved and released tomorrow or with a lot of luck - today.
As I dug around some more and THIS may be the ultimate HPL collection to date: http://www.amazon.com/Lovecraft-Collection-Biography-Bibliography-ebook/dp/B00328I21G/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1288603183&sr=1-9 it´s 101 stories. Most `complete` collection only have 68 Stories! That´s like 33 Stories even the most hardcore HPL fan might have never heard of. ...unfortunately it´s only for Kindle.
