Well I'm not really advertising them as such. For example, rather than Stormy Studios, it's Stormy Sausages, so I'm not really advertising their apps or services.
I see it as; I'm taking the mickey out of them, but in a playful and appreciative manor.
its a nice idea that will be appreciated by fellow developers... won't necessarily help the game or marketing... but I like it..... and I look forward ot my promo... though if I'm in it.. I'll happily pay for it.. :-)

I would never make people pay for it!
It's too unfair, especially as I chose you without asking, making you pay just wouldn't be right. Besides, my game has hundreds of individual npcs, all of which need names and backgrounds, so I figured I'd use the community as inspiration!
I only intend this to be a little bit of fun, not a serious business marketing campaign!
Besides, it's my way of giving a little something (ok, a really small and trivial something ) back to the community, especially to honour those that make it so awesome!
Work is slow, but persistent. Still making great headway though, and more and more of you are slowly wriggling your way into "My Road Trip"!
A few more details are ready to be leaked!
1. @stormystudios - Stormy sausages has run into financial difficulties following a controversial horsemeat scandal that broke out following an scientific investigation into what makes the perfect sausage (correct dimensions, bread:meat ratio, and intestine strength).
2. The game is set within the fictional world of Tyro, a large region surrounded by water featuring ice capped mountains, parched deserts, perilous crevices and cliffs, hidden jungles and much much more!
3. @StraightSaladShooter plays a cryptic taskmaster, who provides cheat codes for those who can complete the game, if they can find him first and convince him to migrate across the map.
4. There are over 12 cities (some village sized really) that the player can travel to, each with its own theme and houses/shops. At one point the player is given their own city to promote, and whilst it starts out deserted, they can encourage NPC's to move there, such as @StraightSaladShooter !
5. Not only can cars survive being driven UNDER water, but they can also climb stairs. This people, is the future.
6. You get to race the president for his title!
Sadly the finished product is a long way off. There are way too many distractions, such as school and A-Levels, but its coming together slowly!
Keep a look out for top secret screenshots coming soon!
Make @Chakku The 'President' you are trying to overthrow - Thomas
I better have insanely powerful military forces... [-X
Never gets old.. - Thomas
Agreed!
*cough* King *cough* Chakku
Hmm... @Chakku would make a good President.... And I was looking for a name for him/her...
I think king is pushing it a little though. The whole idea of overthrowing a tyrannous regime through violent revolution whilst causing widespread bloodshed and massive loss of life all in some sort of Epic Movie style scripting with medieval weaponry such as Maces and crossbows whilst actively encouraging gang crime all seems a little too much for a family/young/teen mobile >18yr old target audience game. But that's just my opinion!
However, I may be able to work it in as some sort of in game legend... Long forgotten yet mysteriously familiar....
@iCreationZ - Great idea! The long lost king Chakku is returning from the dead to steal your crank trousers, you must stop him! - Thomas
I like it, but again with the dark and twisted storyline? >:)
The apocalypse competition is over @SnapFireStudios. We survived, and must move forward in a brighter light, working in unity for a brighter tomorrow, taking the necessary measures to ensure that we are never plagued again by those vile and sinister creatures once known as Unicorns...
So no more "dead", or "slaying" or "accidental beheading"!

Also worth noting that all of you who do make it into my game as lead characters, will receive a promo code!

I am definitely going to have to include that one somewhere! (If that's alright with you!)
actually @digitalzero made that!
Chakku
I think I'm going to have to provide some very early screenshots soon, just to feed my own urges and to show a few more spoilers!
Keep your eyes peeled! @-)
- Thomas
P.S. Feel free to use any of these i've posted. Think I'll do a few more this afternoon, we'll see.
