    Isn't that honestly the point of creating games? No worries in wanting money bro, you work hard for it, you earn it.

    im with you on this one, why the heck are we comparing two completely different games, zenonia is pretty much just zelda (which i never liked in the first place) and sparta is like zombieville so both are very different....personally im looking forward to sparta more because i dont like the zelda type games...

    Well, Sparta missed its aimed release date. Oh well, as long as this game totally rocks all those other half-baked games out of the water!

    Sparta ftw!

    What do you mean? The intended release date is from April 26-29th I think you are talking about the submission date and how do you know they didn't submit it?

    KrisJones what is your role in this game are you a publisher or are you the developer or both?

    Both. Technically, I am a one man team. Some stuff I contract out to others, mainly music and sound effects. I wrote the story and game design document. My brother helped me with the art. I also handle the marketing, business management, and public relations.

    I'll get a video. I don't have a camera. I might just post my older video where I simply turned around my MacBook and used the built-in camera! :)

    Zombieville, Alien Hominid, and Castle Crashers were the inspiration for this. I'm surprised how far I got for my first game in a little over a month.

    Also I fixed most of the problems, but once I load the game onto my iPod 2nd Gen, the sound is off. It seems to have a 2 second delay. Once that is fixed, I should be able to submit tonight to stay with an April release.

    Glad to hear things are on track. It's always a task to make sure everything works and you have all the pieces together. Can't wait to see the video.

    I'm looking forward to the video too. I've been trying to keep up with this thread, but also not trying to get too hyped.

    Oh wow, I thought you were the publisher just being the spokesperson for the game on these forums, but then looked at your sig and I got alittle confuse, but it all makes perfect sense now. Anyways nice. Im also looking forward to alittle video to see what the game really plays like.

    Yeah, I understand the confusion. When I say "producer", I mean developer. ;) I created "Pocket Monkey Games" as a publisher also because it is my dream to compete with the big stars, such as ngmoco, chillingo, and freeverse. Someday, maybe. Just have to prove myself now. :)

    If this turns out as good as it looks, then you will prove yourself.

    I hope you get that famous too!
    Can you make applications on a PC?
    does apple have any plans to port the software?

    Back on topic:
    will this game have a story or just kill people?

    Yes.

    In the final build, I intend to have an indepth story mode/campaign
    and a survival mode where you simply kill people until you die.

    I was trying to do a zombieville-esque game set in ancient Sparta. So far, I have far more character animations, but no zombies... :(

    The multiplayer is expected to add longevity to the game so you can play with some friends.

    Let's be careful here. It is NOT ALLOWED for a single person to have multiple accounts.

    PocketMonkey is the company account which is NOT used by me. It was created by someone else who helps me with the public relations aspect. They only were on like once or twice. She is a college student who is in Europe right now, but that account will be back up whenever she logs on, not me, but they both represent whatever games I make.

    So the answer is NO. Stop trying to get me in trouble with arn! ;)

    Don't be so sure.

    I'm thinking about not saying it has been submitted because I don't want people to get hyped then have the game rejected.

    Haha well okay. I know you don't like hype because you don't want people to build up a game in their mind more than it actually is but I would welcome the hype! At least people are interested in your game you know?

    But yeah I agree you don't want people screaming bloody murder if it gets rejected or doesn't release on its intended date. Look at that Car Jack Streets mess...
