Making bugs in the sun…

Posted in App, App Store, Apple, Games, Music, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, Sunshine, iPad, iphone, ipod, planets, retro, science, shmup, space, stars on October 19th, 2011 by George K

Hello all, hope you’re well!

Just wanted to give a quick update on the status of “Sunshine – Here comes the Sun”.

The game has been with testers for over a week now, and I’m listening to all the feedback. Most of it has been very positive, which is lovely!

There are some bugs/niggles though which I’m trying to work through.

The feedback has been awesome though, and I’m excited to nearly be finished (again!).

Seems that when a game is 80% done, there’s always another 80% to go ;)

Anyway, I’m working on it! Keep your eyes peeled for the Sun! :D

In other news, I’ve finally decided what ‘ProjectCAP’ will be – as in what type of game. That’s a long way off of course, but I’m trying to source the music right now, while also keeping an eye on Air Supply: SOS.

So much to do. So little time!

QS :D

Here comes the Sun! :D

Posted in Games, Music, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, art, iPad, iphone, ipod, planets, shmup, space, stars on October 8th, 2011 by George K

Almost!

Good progress made is the good news coming out of Sheep Towers! The game is done – it works – you can play from start to finish.

I’ve implemented GameCenter leaderboards for each level, and put in the level progression. It’s all *touch wood* working!

I am having some sound issues, and there are about 100 small things that need tidying up. But it’ll be with the testers in the next day or so, just to give it the all clear.

Hopefully submitting by Thursday/Friday this week, for a release the week after.

HOPEFULLY!!!

Fingers crossed, eh?

Here’s another pic to keep you going!


Cheers,

QS :D

Blimey, this is taking a while!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been working on Sunshine (!) trying to get it just the way I want it. It’s coming along ok. I’m *hoping* to have something for the testers this weekend.

But then I’ve been saying that for a few weeks now :O

Sorry!

To tide you over, here’s another work in progress screenshot.

Again, it doesn’t give much away, but I hope it intrigues/charms/scares you (delete as applicable!).

Keep looking for the sun! :D

Sunshine – Here comes the Sun! :D (formerly ‘ProjectSOL’)

Posted in App, App Store, Games, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, Sunshine, iphone, science, screenshots on September 9th, 2011 by George K

Hey everyone!

So, I got some art back from Damien who’s done a lovely job and managed to pretty much match what my friend Dan did art wise for ProjectSOL.

I’m now confident the game’ll get finished! And soon! Yay!

I didn’t want to announce the title – “Sunshine – Here comes the Sun” till I knew I’d be able to finish it!

No ‘proper’ screenshots yet, but here’s one of the title screen as it stands right now :)

Cheers, and I’ll update with more details when I can!

QS :D

ProjectSOL is on the way…

Posted in Games, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, iphone, ipod, stars on July 28th, 2011 by George K

Hello all! Hope you’re well!

I’ve been working on ProjectSOL for the last two years…

Obviously not all in one go! I started in August 2009, inspired by something I saw while on holiday and wanting to make a game so easy to play that even my mother could have a go on it!

It wasn’t till a year later, that my friend Penguin ( Yay! Penguin! :D ) decided on the art style. It’s quite lovely!

Unfortunately, Penguin was/is a very very busy man! So the project was worked on by me on and off between releases.

I’ve finally found an artist that can help me finish this game! I’m still playtesting it, getting the feel right, the scoring, the pace etc…

But now, I also have the rest of the graphics pretty much done. I’m just waiting on the hats!

THE HATS!!!

ProjectSOL is a shooter of sorts. But it’s not like what you’re thinking right now!

Screenshots soon!

:D

A couple more reviews are in! And we love them! :D

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, Music, News, art, iphone, ipod, retro on April 8th, 2011 by George K

Hello, lovelies! Hope you’re well! :D

I got a couple more reviews in for Air Supply – and they’re both a jolly good read!

First up is a pocketgamer.co.uk review, which you can find here.

Some snippets:

“It’s fast, familiar, and fun, giving you everything you want in an endless runner.”

“Air Supply has enough charm and good content to make stand with the best endless running games”

And secondly, here’s a very ‘deep’ review from KillScreen. It’s beautifully written, and I really enjoyed reading it, and hope you do too!

Air Supply is currently available for iphone and ipod touch, here.

Thanks everyone! The adventure continues! :D

We also got five stars from a video review of 1.1 here:

I love that vid. I mainly feel bad about the guy’s broken screen, but I love that he seems to be enjoying himself regardless, and you can even hear him humming along to the music!

AWESOME :D

And there’s more actual gameplay footage here.

I’m busy working on 1.2 at the moment – hopefully done by the weekend!

Hope you’re all still enjoying the game! Lots more to come, Air Supply wise!

Another Air Supply review runs into view! :D

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Apple, Games, New and Noteworthy, News, Shooter, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, shmup, stars on March 13th, 2011 by George K

Hey all,

Here’s another positive Air Supply review – this time from Arcadelife.co.uk

You can read it here.

And, as always, here are some choice words from said review!

“It’s your new favourite running game – you just don’t know it yet.”

“Air Supply gets it SO right it’s frightening!”

“There’s a ton of energy, care and probably genuine love that has been put into this game and it really shows.”

“Imagine Nodes of Yesod being described by someone on amphetamines who has never played it themselves and has only ever heard it being discussed by Clive Sinclair and Lemmy from Motorhead… That’s kind of what this game is like.”

Many thanks to arcadelife.co.uk for their kind words! Makes us feel giddy inside! Ta!

Another Air Supply review rolls in!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, New and Noteworthy, News, Shooter, art, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, science, screenshots, shmup, space, stars on March 9th, 2011 by George K

Hello lovely people!

We’ve had another awesome Air Supply review over at technobrains.com

You can read it here.

Some choice quotes for you:

“The graphics in Air Supply are deliciously retro. And I’m not talking about that garbage where people draw really poor graphics and call it “old school”. It’s clear that a lot of effort was put into making the graphics look like they belong on a pre-NES console. What it proves to me is that such graphics could actually look pretty cool!”

“The bottom line is that this game rocks! As it is I’ve become strangely drawn to this genre of game, but Air Supply has kicked my obsession to a new level. I love the look, I love the music, and I love trying to unlock all the unlockables.”

“If you do not own this gem yet, go out and buy it now.”

We’re so excited and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response the game has got since launch on Friday!

Thank you everyone that bought it, played it, enjoyed it, reviewed it and then wrote to us to tell us!

Cheers!

Air Supply is available on the App Store now, and can be found here.
