    Good news...

    Hopefully after this post and a strong cup of tea, I'll be doing the final upload to Apple :)

    Cheers, good spot. Easy effect to do and really does add to the environment.

    Sorry...just read up properly on everything new with the 4G. Got myself mixed up between the front facing camera, the new 4G screen clarity and the iPad somehow :eek: . Would be nice to have a build using the full resolutions and my art friend would love to bump all the counts up so the dynamic lighting worked even better on the characters. I'll have to see what's possible through just the newer SDK.

    It's just a normal digital pad, you use it for forward (double tap will run), back, strafe left and right then use your other thumb anywhere on the screen to aim/look up, down and rotate left and right (also got left/right handed options and another all digital system)

    Well as stated above, we're going for an upload to Apple tonight so about 99.9% ...it will be all up to Apple from that point. I'll update once it's all in their system. I hope it'll be a quick turn around.

    Thanks, pricing will be $2.99 - the game takes a good few hours to complete as a normal run the first time through. There's lots of secrets and extras so you wouldn't 100% on that first play (not without knowing the perfect routes ;) ), and it has a ranking system at the end based on what you did and didn't do.

    :p - Thanks, the prison has been quite interesting to design. I just hope google hasn't tracked us searching for prison blue prints which we looked at originally :eek: that pizza van across the road has been there a while :D .

    There are some pretty spooky locations. There are indoor and outdoor areas which when mixed with the sounds and ambient music...let's just say it should keep on your toes ;)

    Ok everyone, really appreciate the comments, very humbling when you're a 2 man team to get any feedback, good or bad.

    I'll keep you informed on how the upload to Apple went.

    It's coming bebo_beta2002 :D

    Hopefully not too long now. We got it all uploaded last night. So it's now up to Apple.

    We'll get a gameplay video sorted with a run through the first area hopefully to show off some of the action and puzzles.

    Sorry for being so quiet, game was waiting for review all last week and finally went into review on Monday.

    :D Good news is that it has passed this evening :D

    I've sorted a trailer out and Gaz the artist is still trying to sort a direct gameplay vid.

    We've got a few more bits and bobs to sort out, but I think we're going to go for release on Friday 16th July ;)

    I'll be getting post ready for the release forum and point to that when it's up.

    Can't wait to release it.

    Thanks folks.

    Think everything is just about ready, got the new media uploaded and being processed as I type.

    Should keep you busy for a good few hours :)

    ;) ...actually haven't ever properly timed the iTunes release system. Does it just open up as it hits 12:00 in a certain time zone or is it per store? - It'll be a good time to play the game though with the lights off :D

    It's tough to say exactly how long, but it is in that range I think. The last playthrough by someone who hadn't played most of it before took about 4 hours I think. They knew the first areas though so they did those quite quickly.

    It takes me about 45 mins to do a speed run of 100% . I know all the quick routes and the fastest order to do the puzzles :p ...so that's still a fair bit of time :)
