    Thank you rezn! Happy Holidays to you too! (though I'm still working! Yay though, it's fun :D)

    I hope you enjoy the games! Do let me know what you think!

    I know right? I surprised even myself ;)

    I think it best to keep this thread focussed on SOS rather than other games (so I can answer people's questions a little better here!).

    I made a Docking Sequence thread here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3424547#post3424547

    Please do join in if you fancy it!

    Hello!

    Sorry about the short message earlier - I was on the phone, out and about with Sheepy friends, and couldn't write much.

    Now I'm home and this is sinking in a bit can I just say 'thank you' for the nomination?

    Thank you!

    Seeing my little game up there with such fantastic games is honestly a huge honour. Air Supply SOS feels a bit intimidated by the other nominees but don't worry, I'll give it a hug or two later and it'll be fine :)

    You're all so very, very kind, and I'm smiling like a loon a bit!

    Thank you again! You lot are lovely!

    *sheepyhugs*

    QS =D

    Hey all! Hope you're well :)

    Just a quick catch-up note! I'm working hard on my next game which you *may* have seen pics of on my Twitter feed! I need to do a few more days work on it before I make an official post here! But it's on the way!

    Yay! :D

    In AIR SUPPLY related news (because this *is* the Air Supply - SOS thread after all!) my little game has been nominated for another award, this time from PocketGamer:

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/pgawards2015.asp

    It's in the 'Best Action/Arcade game' category - and I'm just blown away mainly because of the other titles I'm nominated with.

    They're all excellent, and I'm truly honoured to be in the same space as some of these.

    It feels like a dream! :O

    Anyway, just thought i'd give you an update! Hope you're all well!

    *sheepyhugs*

    wow - that really does have my two best games from 2014 in there. Air Supply SOS and TxK.
    Magical stuff.

    Oh - and Desert Golfing.

    Well done sheepy. That's great news. There are some great titles there but Air Supply is my most played one from the list.

    WoW, that's a really tough competition over there, indeed, but since your the only Dev i "know personally", i voted for your brilliant game.
    Btw, i invested more time in SOS than i any other of that list, and yours ended up in my last year's top 10...so it was easy. Congrats !

    Man, you've got good taste. Can't remember if it was you or another poster who bought a Sony (I think?) handheld soley to play Jeff Minter's Tempest reconstruction. I really wish that game could be released on iOS. Also, i'm at Hole 8700 in DG and not stopping until 10000, the game stops generating unique holes, or I go mad.

    On topic, quantumsheep rules. I'd love to see a QS version of a vertical shmup. Sort of like Docking Sequence but with space guns and explosions and stuff. Can't wait to see what's next from QS...

    Yep, that was me. I'm the saddest man I know. Just voted for SOS though. I have a feeling QS got a Vita for TxK too though. Good luck getting to hole 10,000 on Desert Golfing, sir.

    You guys!

    YOU GUYS! :D

    *sheepyhugs*


    It's a great list isn't it? I like that it's across a variety of formats - SOS and TxK on the same list! Crazy! :O

    (I voted for TxK ;))

    *curtsies* Thank you! :)

    That you and Cloudy played this so much makes me very happy! People *wanting* to play your game is the highest compliment in my opinion! Thanks!

    :D


    I've been wanting to make a vertical shmup for the last four years at least!
    I already have the soundtrack figured out and it is just awesome :)

    In fact I have a couple of shmups I'd like to make. It really is just finding the time to get it all done :O

    I'm in touch with a wonderful artist about the first one, so once both our schedules are a little clearer we'll see where we go from there. If anything comes of that it'll be later in the year at the earliest I think!

    But there'll be other games between now and then, don't worry! People's enthusiasm here really gets me going and in the mood to work work work! Thank you all! :D

    Thanks for the vote! :D And yes, I got a Vita for TxK too :D

    Which makes me the saddest sheepy I know I guess? ;)


    Thank you all for your kind words!

    *sheepyhugs*

    :D

    Hello Sheep Savers! :D

    Just a quick FYI - it's July 4th (checks watch) tomorrow! So, for the weekend, I'm making Air Supply SOS half price :D (i.e. 99c or something)


    You can find the game here: Air Supply - SOS (Save Our Sheep)


    The price change hasn't quite gone through yet (edit: They think it's all over - it is NOW - price at $.99!), but should be available in an hour or so! It'll go back to the usual $1.99 on Monday I think!


    If you give it a try, thank you!


    And a massive thank you to everyone who gave the game a go on release! I'm very proud of it and so happy others like it!


    Thanks! :D


    Have a FABULOUS weekend!


    QS =D
