    Your company is Flaming Mitten Studios? That,my friend, deserves kudos. Almost as much kudos as the game, the game's name, and other things that end with "ame".
  • SparkyidrSparkyidr Member Posts: 2,033
    Hah yeah.

    I remember when we came up with the company name.....it felt like a winner.
    Although the more "serious" games/apps we do, are labeled as FM Studios ;)

    It's usually my mad retro rainbow mental-ness that gets the full Flaming Mitten treatment.

    Will get a vid sorted during the week, so you can see how it looks in action.
    Am particularly pleased with the rainbow trail (although it kills performance a little on anything lower and an iphone 4...lol)

    What is it with all the pandas? Did you always want a pet panda as a kid?

    Liking the box art :)

    @HoneyTribe
    not sure on the panda thing.
    The game was originally just going to have an atari2600 style spaceship as the main character (you can still unlock it in the game for coins)...but it felt a little boring.

    So we decided it needed to be something with a bit more character...probably an animal.

    We originally settled on a seahorse...rainbows and seahorses seem to be a good fit. I even went as far as designing the atari style sprite for it (will probably include it as an unlockable in a future update)

    But I wasn't 100% keen on it.
    So we went back to the Panda....and made is as a pseudo sequel to SpacePanda...kinda

    :)

    Also.. hoping I don't run into any trouble with the box artwork panel...as it's the only thing I didn't "draw" myself.
    It's actually a collage. The background and rainbow/sun/ufos is from a pannel from a strip in a 1979 issue of Heavy Metal magazine.

    The panda, is a photo of a panda kite, that I re-coloured to fit with the 70's art style of the background.
    It deffo looks like a lot of that authentic late 70's early 80's atari box art tho, which is why I went for that hand panted/comic style.

    Knocked up a quick vid for you guys.

    Nothing much to see that's probably not already been seen (It's mainly a reskin of the deepblueapps template)

    But thought you might like to take a look at the pixels in action :) and hear some of the soundtrack I did.

    rainbow looks a bit smoother on the actual device btw.

    really neat!

    Looks awesome Sparky!

    Great music, captures the retro feel perfectly and adds a lot of charm to the game.

    How about a platform/adventure game next to complete the Panada trilogy :)

    (Kinda makes me want to make a retro inspired game too..!)

    Edit: watching the vid for a third time now just to hear the music.

    Yay...
    Game is approved.

    Have set the release date for Thursday (traditional!)

    Although, I'm wondering if mabe I should go for tuesday or wednesday.
    Everyone seems to release Thursdays, so my question is :

    Is it easier to get lost in the sea of releases on Thursdays? Or is Thursdays still the best day to release?

    I have to admit, I have experimented with releasing on all sorts of different days, and not seen really too much of a difference, in regards to first week sales, and features.

    Anyone got any insight?
  • HoneyTribeStudiosHoneyTribeStudios Member Posts: 1,792
    Release on thursday, you're more likely to be noticed by review sites and be included in 'out this thursday' summary articles.

    congrats on approval, this one is going to be fun!
  • SparkyidrSparkyidr Member Posts: 2,033
    @HoneyTribe
    I very much like that thinking.

    Thursday it it then.
    Will deffo chuck a few promos this way if anyone facies it.
  • greenrhynogreenrhyno Member, PRO Posts: 152
    New releases seem to be less on Saturday and Sunday. I don't know if it matters much though. looking at arcade games was:

    15 Sunday
    23 Saturday
    35 Friday
    But only 13 Thursday.

    Hmmm... I really don't think it matters much :-) I would say any day except Friday- depends if you want to be on top of new releases for the weekend, or if you want to get some press and possible momentum before the weekend.

    Good luck. Game looks really great!

    I'm now worried this new panda game is going to disappoint, with it's lack of comedy songs :)
