same. I had a dream I was playing it... I hope it's as fun as it was in my dream!! Lol oh and natty just a thought but in the description of the app you miiiiight want to say "in the vein of flight control" or "inspired by flight control@ or something so you don't get a lot of 1 star reviews saying this is a copy of flight control (which it isn't) Just a thought
@rivgambino @Hobbes You guys have such beautiful dreams! The wait is definitely torturous, but it's nice to have so many great waiting buddies @Hobbes I think we took care of that little problem using a handy quote from the very awesome brewestermax. Also, nobody who actually played the game complained about the FC similarity, which was amazing. Everyone said it was a different and/or better game in the same genre. Hopefully the trend continues when it comes out.

you should totally do what doodle jump did, and put in [with the original developers of those games permission] easter eggs, like Pocket God's Characters rowing a canoe, and other pop culture references
No video for you! BUT, it's already been submitted so you won't have to wait long to play it yourself
Sorry guys - been working on the video all day, and now we need to leave for the airport in 5 hours to go to WWDC, and we haven't packed, and I'm really sleepy, and I probably won't get to sleep at all tonight. I'll try to get the video out as soon as I can. Thanks for being so patient! Or maybe Apple will surprise us all and approve it before WWDC is over. You never know...
So I spent all morning camped out outside the Moscone Center, waiting for the WWDC keynote. Very glad to have Harbor Master to distract me while I wait. Although the lack of sleep is taking a serious toll on my scores. Couldn't get higher than 29 on Sturgeon Creek...
natty, not sure what type of setup they have there but there are plenty of Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and one Tully's in that general area. Let us in on what happens at WWDC, will ya?
Just noticed replies on the games section of people calling games that don't even have gameplay mechanics similar to FC ripoffs... people are quick to make 'witty' comments.
The waiting is killing me, I have a lot of apps or various kinds on my iPod Touch, but Flight Control is one the most used, and I see this perhaps knocking it out the way. Any rough estimate on when it will roughly get to us on the store?
@kahanejosh Approval times vary a lot, so I definitely can't promise anything. However, all of our apps have gotten approved in 7-11 days so far, so it wouldn't be any earlier than this Friday. Could be a lot longer though. Glad you're excited! We can't wait either @AttackOfThePwned WWDC is awesome. Getting no sleep and having a ton of fun. I'm getting the iPhone 3G|S as soon as it comes out. So psyched about video capture
Thanks nattylux for the response, I really appreciate it. Good to see your close with the community here at TouchArcade, and other places I expect. I forgot to ask, but what will it be priced at?
OK, time to tease you again. What are you going to record video of? LOL, seriously though, you should look into updating Photomarkr to copyright videos.
Hah, you guys got this thread covered! Yes, it will start at $0.99, so you all can get a copy. In the meantime, check out this great preview from our very own @superbad24: http://theappera.com/2009/06/09/wwdc-2009-harbor-masters-here-flight-control-meet-your-match/ Pretty sweet, eh? BTW, I'm having an awesome time at WWDC hanging out with Ian Marsh, Bryan Duke of Acceleroto, Owen Goss from Streaming Colour, and of course @kshep. Good times! Will have to post some pix later.
Hi Nattylux, Harbor Master sounds like my kind of game. I do river rafting and a sport called "river boarding" where you ride a king-size boogie board down a river (with knee pads and helmet, etc. So boats are up my alley. Look forward to meeting you and kshep at the iPhone Launch Party today. Doug Hogg Toy Kite Software
Prepare for a longer wait.... Bad news guys - the first version of Harbor Master has been rejected for using a standard button for a non-standard action. We fixed the problem and just resubmitted, but this may mean the wait will be a bit longer. @doughogg Look forward to meeting you tonight! Wow, river boarding sounds hard core...
