Release (Attack of) the Kraken! :D
Posted in Amazon, App, App Store, Attack of the Kraken, FREE, iPad, iphone, ipod, Kindle, retro, sci-fi, shmup, Shooter, space, stars on January 31st, 2013 by quantumsheepHey all! Hope you’re well!
The assault on non-iOS devices continues with Attack of the Kraken for Kindle devices! π
Best of all it’s FREE – forever! No In-App-Purchases. No ads. Just a free game for you to (hopefully) enjoy!
The game will also be going free on iPhone from tomorrow (February 1st, 2012) so iPhone/iPad owners that haven’t tried it can have it for nothing too!
Working on the Android version, also free, which will be out soon with any luck!
Hope you like it! It was my first ‘proper’ iOS game, and while rather old (can I call it Retro?) it’s still quite fun I think!
Toodles!

These ARE the droids you’re looking for!
Posted in Android, App Store, Games, Google Play, Gravitrixx, Mobile, News, retro on January 22nd, 2013 by quantumsheepHey all! Another update! Already!
I was up converting .Matrixx for the Kindle Fire when I realised I hadn’t signed up for the android store, otherwise known as ‘Google Play’.
The process only took about half an hour. And half an hour later, I had a version of Gravitrixx submitted!
You can find it here for Android.
Crazy stuff. It also takes just hours after submission to be published. So it’s available NOW!
I need a cup of tea. And some sleep I think…
Hope you Android users enjoy the game, and I’ll get busy bringing more to your format of choice!

GO! :D
Posted in .Matrixx, Air Supply, Android, dot matrix, Games, Gravitrixx, iPad, Kindle, Mac, News, screenshots, Windows 8 on January 12th, 2013 by quantumsheepHello all, and a happy new year to you!
Had a productive start to the new year! Currently I’m still working on three projects, but have also been working on porting my current games to other platforms!
Below are Air Supply and Gravitrixx on a Kindle Fire:
.Matrixx is also looking a bit nice on the Kindle Fire too π
Other versions I’m aiming for is Mac for Air Supply, and possibly iPad. Also trying to work out how to get stuff onto Windows 8 Devices!
Busy times ahead! Hopefully you’ll see the fruits of my labours over the last year soon!
Thanks for reading, and here’s to a fun filled 2013!
Toodles!

Air Supply is on the cover of a book! :O

How lovely to see that! I had no idea!
I suppose I have to buy the book now… π

Life is an adventure! :D
Posted in Adventure, Games, iphone on February 11th, 2012 by quantumsheepHello everyone! Hope you’re well!
I feel that recently, there’s been a whiff of change in the air. And not the small kind π
My friend Joe has had huge success with his adventure game, The Lost City. I recommend it – it’s lovely!
At the same time pretty much, the lovely folks at Double Fine got over $1m in funding in less than 24 hours using Kickstarter. To make an adventure game!
It’s truly wonderful to see the support for such lovely people!
It would seem pretty darn lucky that I chose this moment in time to make an adventure game with “ProjectSAMMY”. It’s coming along quite nicely, and I’ll hopefully have new stuff to show you too!
I hope people like it!

I can’t please everyone, but…
Posted in .Matrixx, App Store, Games, iPad, Reviews on February 7th, 2012 by quantumsheepHello everyone! Hope you’re well!
Things are getting very busy at the moment. Most of the back-end stuff for ProjectSammy is in place. I have systems set up to handle the inventory, objects, locations, feedback and puzzles. It’s really quite overwhelming at times!
Soon I’ll start actually putting the game together, which will probably take a little over a month with any luck (that’s ‘developer’ talk for TWO months!). I’ve been very productive of late but the task ahead is huge!
In other news, I just wanted to say that I do read every single review posted on iTunes, good or bad! I appreciate that complete strangers take time out of their day to let me (and others) know what they think of my efforts!
I got a really well written review the other day for .Matrixx on the iPad by a chap called ‘The Other McCoy’. It reads:
“Fine gameplay – Difficult one to rate. It’s a good example of the new indie golden age we have on IOS – but I’d say one of the simpler games of the sort. Graphics are minimal (but clean), sound is a retro homage (quite nice actually), and gameplay is *golden*. It’s pretty straightforward but it works well. I’m no authority but it seems quite original to me. Another thing I like about it is that it has an easy-going “just one more time” vibe even though it does get pretty busy. With some arcade games I have to be in the mood for the challenge but I can goof around with this one anytime. I was tempted to rate it 3 because of its minimal nature but the gameplay and vibe take it to 4.”
Firstly, thank you so much for giving the game a chance! Just as importantly though, I’m very glad you seem to be enjoying it. It really does make my day to read reviews such as yours, sir, and I thank you, and everyone else that writes reviews, for your opinions!
Spreading fun throughout the world is my mission! I can’t please everyone of course! But by Jove I try!
Many thanks!

Another WIP shot of ProjectSAMMY :D
Posted in Adventure, App, art, Games, News on January 27th, 2012 by quantumsheepHello! Hope you’re well! π
This is the second screenshot from ProjectSAMMY. Hope you enjoy it!
I’m having a real blast making this right now! I don’t think it’ll be done before March sometime, but I’ll release more shots when I’m comfy showing them!
The pic featured, and the one before, are based (hopefully obviously!) in a crypt. That’s all I’m going to say about it!
I’m working out story details right now! If Star Wars: The Old Republic has taught me anything this past month, it’s that story is important!
I have about $200m less in my budget for ProjectSAMMY. Let’s see what I can do π
Thanks for reading!

Progress! :D

While I wait for early access to Star Wars: The Old Republic, I thought i’d do some work π
So what have I been up to!???
Well, with any luck, Gravitrixx for Mac will be out on the Mac Appstore tomorrow! (Friday December 15th). Fingers crossed, eh?
DotMatrixx should be available for Mac too at some point, if it passes Apple’s approval process of course! It’s been re-submitted, so now I’m just waiting to see what happens!
On a related note, A Merry Gravitrixmas is available for iPhone for free! It’s a Xmas themed version of Gravitrixx, and will only be available during the holidays! I hope you like it!
I’ve also submitted an update to Sunshine with hopefully some minor bugs squashed and an extra hat for the holidays! Yay! π
Look for that *hopefully* next week!
Finally, work still continues on getting Air Supply and Attack of the Kraken on the Mac, as well as possibly iPad. Look for those in the new year.
I’m hoping that next year will see Quantum Sheep games on the Kindle Fire, and maybe some other android based tablets/phones. We’ll see!
And, of course, there are new games in the works. Namely Air Supply – SOS and an adventure game of some sort!
BUSY BUSY SHEEPY!
So, that’s it for now. I’ll post some more updates as stuff becomes available!
Thanks for reading!

Sunshine now available for your Mac! :D
Posted in App, App Store, Apple, Games, iphone, ipod, Mac, Shooter, Sunshine on November 25th, 2011 by quantumsheepHello everyone, hope you’re well!
The sheepy attack on the Mac App Store is well underway with Sunshine being the first strike!
The gameplay is really relaxing on the Mac – all you have to do is move the mouse and click after all! I hope others agree it’s a good translation!
You can find the game here.
It’s also still available for iPhone and iPad of course, so you can take a little Sunshine with you wherever you are! π
Look out for more Quantum Sheep games for your Mac every week till Xmas! *fingers crossed!*
Cheers!
