Astro Noughts has just been submitted to Apple for approval. With any luck it will be hitting the iPad App store some time in December. Its been fun and I’m pleased with the final result. With submission out of the way, its time to turn my hand to a spot of marketing (something I’m not terribly good at).

To kick things off I have a slew of screenshots and even a gameplay video to share with you. I have a lot to learn when it comes to shooting gameplay videos and trailers. Its yet another facet of Independent game development that is normally a career in itself. You’ll also have to excuse the quality – Apparently my Ricoh R8 produces abysmal videos.

I’m please to announce that my next iPhone game has been submitted to Apple. It was submitted on Wednesday 25th November at 3.30am (UK time), just in time to make the rumoured 24th November cut-off.

Rocket Santa is a collaboration with designer ClintonMc. We’ll be releasing some more details on the official Rocket Santa website very soon and I’m hoping that Apple will approve the game within a week or two.

In the mean time, here’s the synopsis and some pixel art of the game’s protagonist.

“On Christmas Eve, your reindeer fall ill without warning. Faced with the prospect of a Christmas without presents, and with hope all but lost, you turn to operation Santa Soars.”

Some great news today. Star Fusion has been submitted to the iPhone App Store for approval. Providing Apple do not find any glaring errors, it should be available to buy within the next week or so.

I’ll get a trailer up as soon as I can and i’ll also put some promotional material on the official Star Fusion page which can be found here.

It’s certainly been a journey to get this far. I started learning iPhone development a little under 4 months ago with no knowledge of the platform, armed with just a book! (Beginning iPhone Development by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche). I came up with the idea for Star Fusion 1 month ago so development on this game has been pretty fast. Obviously the journey doesn’t end here and i’m looking forward to the next stages (Promotion, Game updates, and new ideas).
