    No, but I'm starting up a company soon!

    and the company will have a twitter account.


    I'll post here when our website is up and running. :)

    Who said that? Apple's own website said that 95% of apps were being approved within 2 weeks when I submitted. a week or two ago, they had a blip, and it said 75% of apps were being approved within 2 weeks.

    I remain hopeful. :)

    I must have this, man.

    I'm a big fan of the "Blue..." games, even though I suck at them. Will this app title just be "Conquest!" in the same fashion as the other games?

    How are the videos coming? Sorry for nagging, I just can't wait to see this game in action :p.

    I'm wondering this too.

    Hey John, I was listening to the TA podcast when you were on it and hearing about this and your story about leaving to start your own company fascinated me.

    Good luck with this.

    The app name on your iDevice home screen will be "Conquer!", following the convention of the previous games:


    Blue Defense! was titled "Defend!".

    Blue Attack! was "Attack!", and that didn't change much because attack is the same when it's a noun or a verb. :p


    So Red Conquest! will appear as "Conquer!" telling you clearly what to do in the game. :)

    Keep your eyes out, I should have the video(s) done by this week. :)


    I plan to have a trailer style video, and a gameplay video where I play an entire level through. I'll annotate it with youtube text, so I can explain my strategy when attacking the blue forces, and try to explain what the AI is doing and why.

    :)

    I hope you can wait. :)

    In my country "Conquest" is a verb. eg:

    "I will conquest your sister tonight. And after I am finished conquesting her I will to eat a sandwich."

    :( stupid English language...

    well, here that just sounds stupid...and it might just lead to you getting your ass kicked...or to put it in international terms...your ass conquested.

    Red Conquest has been rejected! There was a naming inconsistency. :(

    It was called "Conquer!" on the device, but "Red Conquest!" in the app store. Because of Apple's rules, the game's release will be delayed by another week. :(

    Now, let's try not to inform Apple that "Blue Defense!" is actually "Defend!" on the device...


    I've already resubmitted, and I still think it'll come out in time for Christmas. I'm an incurable optimist. :)

    Well Apple does these weird things a lot of times. Not really a surprise. I hope they push it in front of the line this time and get it out ASAP :)

    To console you guys, the videos will be coming out very very soon. :)

    tonight, maybe. :)


    You know, with all of my updates and my two previous apps, I've never had one rejection, ever. All these horror stories of apps taking months to properly submit, I just never experienced it.

    At least the app was rejected in one week instead of three, right? :)

    yeah i know, I remember the developer of Quantum Collapse had to wait 3 months before being rejected then another 3 weeks or so before his update finally came out. I was super bummed.

    The video is a LOT less likely to be rejected. :)

    thank goodness!
