My First iPhone Game!!!

Hey!  So, I am very excited to announce that yesterday, our iPhone dev guys have submitted our very first iPhone game!

 

iPhone/iPad/iPod games aren’t anything new really anymore – loads of people are pushing them out, but this has just been a bit of a challenge I set for myself – and it is ALMOST coming to fruition! 

 

It has been a very long process getting the game ready for market, and before you think anything along the lines of ‘wow – i didn’t know she could program iPhone games’ … well… don’t be too impressed… lol.  I didn’t do a whole lot on this game personally.  I found a development team from vWorker  who did all of the technical aspects of the game – and were just amazing to work with. 

 

About 6 months ago, I had an idea for a game – and Soren, John and I decided to just go for it and test out a new marketplace.  So, I went looking for a team and found a dev company based in the Philippines.  I got them to sign an NDA first (most people are happy to do that – and you can just get templates by searching Google… or do what we did, and use echosign.com ) – then shared my idea with them. 

 

About a month later, they had a working prototype.  It sucked… it more than sucked… it was, the lamest, most horrible, boring piece of rubbish I had every seen… lol.  

 

I spent some time talking with the team and getting their ideas on improvement – and we came up with a totally different play mechanic, and it was SO much more fun.  I guess the proof will be in whether people actually buy it/download it etc – and play it!!  We shall see! *fingers crossed* 

 

So, it is off to the iTunes store.  I think, right now… the plan is to release it in the first week or two of March – but you can guarantee, when it does go live – I will be telling everyone I know about it… and probably a few random people that I don’t really know too… 

 

Will keep you updated as it goes.  For now, everything iTunes game related is going over here: http://chumpchop.com – I am super keen to hear if anyone has a game review site, or blog etc – and would like to have prerelease access to test it and write up a review support desk, would love to chat!
