    offended ..lol, of course not.. i did say you should not interpret too much into words? .. :p

    but on second thought.. putting me into a bavarian dress that so stereotype and i don't want to be even associated in the slightest with the leftover of the third reich who lives down there.. grumpy, self righteous CSU elitists :p

    Sorry, that's one place where the German's got you beat.
    I love your chocolate and (as you know) your comics, but beer? Sorry, I’ve tried some Belgian fruit-beers… ;)

    It's a german, a dutch and a belgium in a pub.

    The german order a Reinheitsgebot.
    The dutch order a heineken
    The belgian order a glass of milk.

    The barman ask :" A milk? Are you sure?"
    The belgian say, "Yeah, if the two other guy don't drink beer, so do I !"

    You are so wrong there. The Germans do some very nice beers (I particularly like Kostrizer Schwarzbier and Erdinger Dunkel), but the sheer number of great Belgian beers is amazing. Try Kwak, Delirium Nocturnum, any Chimay, Westmalle Dubbel or Tripel, Orval, and many more. Even the more commonly available options such as Leffe and Duval are lovely. Some of the fruit beers are also nice, such as Fruli, but are only a small example of the variety and quality on offer.

    And on the original topic, pinkandpurple, why do you need to register a game name before you can get the money to get it made? Do some special circumstances apply such as the availability of a government grant?

    Delirium is THE worst beer I've tasted in my life. But, done hijacking this thread for now. ;-)

    well you need an active iOS developer account to register an app for the appstore.

    so you need to plunge the pocket change of 99$ in advance todo this..

    if you don't want to.. better have several names at your disposal.. even if you register now you won't know which names are taken or not.. searching in the appstore won't help much since you can't say what other developers are currently working at..

    Also, keep in mind that once you create a placeholder AppStore entry with a hand picked game name, apple will give you only about three months to complete and submit the game before they yank the name away from you permanently.

    Interface designers?

    OH OK

    I have just realised designing an app interface is far more mind boggling than a person thinks.Even a simple app.

    Are thre any services that design your idea?
