A Few Short Notes

Okay, that was the marketing stuff - here are some dev notes. I wrote Hunter Sub using iTGB. It took roughly a month to complete. All of the gameplay and logic was written in script, but before shipping I spent a day converting all the script to c++ code. This bumped the frame up from the single digits to up above 30 fps. I was doing quite a bit of math in the script.

I submitted it to the store on July 17th and it was approved on the morning of August 1st. So it was 2 weeks and 1 day to go through the Apple approval process. It took almost 24 hours from getting the approval message for Hunter Sub to actual show up in the store.

I'll be updating the game with better AI also some more ship types. I am also thinking of adding OpenFeint which has leaderboards, awards, etc.

Coming Soon

Here is a preview video of a new game that I submitted to the App Store a couple of days ago. It was also written using iTGB:

Postscript

I know I need to the next installments of the developing on the iPhone videos that I started. It takes a little more effort than I thought when I first start on them :)
