BElieve I will need everyones help.

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

BElieve a wonderful way for kids that have cancer to get there app on the Appstore and have a free website too. BElieve is a free game development program for kids 5-12 that have any kind of cancer. http://www.flipflopgames.org/believe.html

I need every one to help me out with this by telling people about it and helping me with any games i have to make.

Note this is not a game.

Please tell me how you like it and any thing i should add. I'm only a 11 and somethings i need to change stuff.

Thanks and have marry Christmas.

First of all, the ideas is good

But you said draw it and scan it to you, how is that an app or a game?

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

you see i will look at it than make it for then with real graphics.

Then do you sell it? If so what happens to the money? If you are giving it to charity have you looked into the tax aspect of this? In other words are you a registered non-profit?

I really admire your spirit and enthusiasm. I ask the questions above because I want this to work for you. If you have not thought about the questions above (and probably a dozen others) you really should before actually launching this project. There could be some tricky legal/tax issues here.

Also there are a number of spelling errors on the site. For example "marry" Christmas should be "Merry" Christmas. You also have "believe" spelled differently in different places.

Again, I wish you the best with this. I would seriously consider having your parents help you out with this, though.

Good luck!

Hey Conner, this looks like a really cool idea! But I think you need to do a few things before it will have any success.

-Clean up your website. I know you are 11, but you are clearly smart, and your website is an unprofessional disaster. Clean up the formatting, capitalize right, spell right, get some nice graphics, etc. That's a great way to increase the validity of a project like this, and your app sales will go better!
-Don't bump the forums. People like to read threads, but threads shouldn't be bumped every few hours just to keep them on the top of the list. Let other people keep your thread on top.
-SEO your site. Nobody will find it if they can't discover it on Google.
-Target an audience. Contact people you know who might be interested.

Hope development keeps going well for you!

Is there any thing that i need to make better or change. I'm hoping all the selling is right to.

I like the idea. My only question is, what happens when someone comes up with an app that you cannot build? Many people who are inexperienced with game design (such as these children) dream up the craziest ideas that require very advanced programming knowledge. I am not doubting your skills, but rather saying that you may be met with an idea that is not possible in gamesalad . If a game is not able to be built with Gamesalad, would these children be disappointed? It seems wrong to do that to someone who has had their life flipped around. That being said, I really hope this will work out for you. It is truly a nice thought

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

That is a good idea i just added a not to my website saying not to make to hard of a game. And thanks

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

here you go


please comment

barneyfive

perhaps it would be better to show a static view of the believe description at the beginning instead of the first 40seconds and then go on with the kid drawing the picture

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

ok well i will try any more\ ideas

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

BIG_THINKIN_APPS

any one

I know you are doing this for a good cause, but I see this bumped maybe multiple times per day. I think the chances of one of us users on the forums being a child with cancer who wants an iPhone app built are very low. Heres what I would do: try to get publicity for your program in other places other than the GS forums. I'm sure there are other great places to network this idea. You seem like a resourceful kid, so expand your audience. Good luck.
