    I feel alone in wanting wallpapers. Seriously :confused:

    i thought more people would welcome the idea given the very nice art and design of Red Conquest.

    I'm considering it. :)

    I've actually been filling my time with preparing the first update. I've implemented a background texture loading feature so that there are no hiccups in-game when, say, the dialogue avatars are shown for the first time, or the tutorial images come up (campaign, first 2 levels have geo defense style full-screen tutorial images), etc.

    I've always had lazy-loading in my games, which keeps the initial load time down, but now there won't even be hiccups later on in the game as stuff loads! It'll be the 1.0.1 update, or if it's rejected again and I have to resubmit, it'll be in there with 1.0...

    Awesome!!!!!!


    Wow, it sounds pretty sweet. You know I completely forgot devs keep working even after 1.0 comes out. Sorry for sounding so demanding. I hope this game comes out soon and it becomes a major hit. :)

    Also, for you obsessive itunes-checkers:

    if you follow catinaboxgames or jakooistra on twitter, I'll post there ASAP when the game is approved, and probably provide a link to the app store.

    There should also be a post on our website about it, at catinaboxgames.com - so if you subscribe to the RSS or Atom feed, you'll hear about it immediately.

    If you use the Notifications app like I do, you can get push notifications from any RSS feed, so you CAN get a push notification for when Red Conquest is out. :)

    I'll also post it in this thread, so if you're refreshing this a lot you'll also get the same info. :)

    lol, I know what size the iphone is, I was just asking if you wanted a background for both your device and computer. :p

    I'm going all out for the desktop, 1920x1200. My monitor isn't even that big.

    And I'll definitely be making an iphone background version. :)

    Hang on, I've got one on the way...

    OOOHHHH!!!

    for me primarily i want an iPhone one. But a desktop would just make everything click. My computer already matches my iPhone and pen in terms of style, matching backgrounds would be awesome. I am hanging on and never letting go :p

    The first wallpaper is up!

    And We will be releasing at least one per day until Apple releases the game. It's taking them so long, we might as well give the community something. :)

    http://catinaboxgames.com/blog/read/49

    You can get the wallpapers there. Enjoy!

    (I know I put that one on my iPhone right away... it looks pretty sweet. :) )

    I know, the controls look absolutely perfect. i think this could be the definitive title to describe RTS for the iPhone....

    Whoa, awesome wallpapers :eek:! I can't decide - if Apple takes longer to approve, I'll get awesome wallpapers. If Apple takes shorter to review, I'll get an awesome game. John, will you continue to make a few wallpapers every once and a while even if Red Conquest gets approved?

    Edit: I just j.mp-ed the iPhone sized wallpaper so it's easier to access from an iPhone. Here's the link: http://j.mp/8D2wkW
