    Remember that armor can also be changed. As it stands, it is only the "overall armor". We are working to allow individual pieces of armor to change, such as helmet, breastplate, gauntlets, leggings, etc.

    He said 5 days after beta and it seems like beta is about to start sooner or later. I'm guessing next week or even sooner.

    I dunno, just guessing here, but I believe he said that that the aimed release date was somewhere around April 20th or something like that. The release date should be found somewhere among the pages of this thread.

    theone1007 is right. I have stated that April 20th (one week from today) we want to submit to the AppStore.

    Most people recognize that Apple has inconsistent approval processes, so we cannot be sure the game will be accepted. There is violence. This is Sparta, of course. Players will have the opportunity to decapitate (cut off the head) of their foes. You can see how that can be questionable. ;)

    Red.

    No matter what Apple says, we are NOT changing it to green.

    But how cool would it be to have a "300 Vs. Aliens Vs. Predator" thing going on?

    Brave man! I like that! You might slip through who knows?! I just dont get how Amateur Surgeon is the only Mature rated game in the store. Why can't they do it for ALL games with RED blood? ;)

    Because all games don't come from Adult Swim. ;)

    Definitely some preferential treatment happening for the big names out there. :(

    You can decapitate in Hero of Sparta, so at least there's a glimmer of hope it'll get through. Although in HoS, you're fighting creatures not humans and their blood is green...

    I probably should have played Hero of Sparta. Fortunately or unfortunately, I did not. This way I can't be accused of stealing any ideas!:eek:

    Sorry guys, still no game play video. I will try to get some by Wednesday.

    This is an interface concept. It is one of the final things we would like to nail down before our launch. Obviously it is rough and we expect to make it much "prettier."

    Polish that up and that will look like a great 2D side scroller.

    Thanks. When I read Polish, I couldn't stop thinking about Polish sausages! Weird, I know.

    I have two questions sorry if they've already been answered, but just wondering will there be more weapons or are you only using a sword and is the release due for this or next month?

    Where's the jump button?:confused: What do the 3 buttons do? Combos, perhaps?

    We were originally planning for swords, spears, and a variety of bows. However, those will come in version 1.5. For the first release, it would be swords, shields, and physical attacks (kicking).

    We are hoping to have it released on the AppStore before the end of April.

    Sounds good! Looks like I might be purchasing this game after all. It looks like a Zombieville, Hero of Sparta mix which are both two games that I played the crap out of.

    I also noticed that there is no health bar but there are lives, does that mean one hit equals one lost life?

    Background graphics are great by the way! I do/did alittle art so im a sucker for nice looking graphics, but the only thing killing me right now is that UI, but since you said it's rough I'll take your word and save my opinion for the final build.

    Good Luck!
