Some screen capture programs has options to highlight the mouse click, I can´t remember names now but I saw it a long time ago.

Another solution would be to post process the video on something like after effects, gimp+gap or jashaka(if it still exists) and compose the circle yourself. It´s more work, but you will have to edit the video one way or the other to make a nice tube propaganda right?

There are a lot of 3D apps on the AppStore which run at higher frame rates with much more complicated scenes, like Galaxy of Fire II for example.

1500 polygons is a lot... I checked a video on Galaxy of fire II, only really low poly objects in there, most of them boxes attached together with nice maps. I like the  laser fest though...

That seems quite possible to come up with glbasic, you can also consider reducing complex objects as they are far from camera, use of squares with textures may help here and there and bump map may heal the extra polygons you may need.

Just ideas though, I programmed nothing on 3d yet...

looked into this app some time ago, gave a few shots into it, but with such a "manual" it will sure be an add to the collection....thanks

 

I'll send to you the Windows version's  Roll'n'Fall tomorrow , you'll can play it and change some graphics if you want !  (No Shoebox for you!) 

About the contest  Nobody wants to participate? 
Roll'n'Fall hit the App Store in november, 4...

Nice, let me play it , me me me.thanks!

Time to play!  (Maybe this is better for Ericos post about sales in App Store)   

Multiple choice:

1) I earned revenues between $1 and $200
2) I earned revenues between $500 and $999
3) I earned revenues between $1000 and $ 2999
4) I earned revenues between $3000 and $ 5000
5) I earned revenues between $5001 and $10000

Come on all
What do you choose?
The winners wins a promo code for my next game!   

It sure interests me, I'm designing production for an years plan...
idea is to focus on quantities and try REEEAL hard not to be too attached with each outcome(my kiiids! ), if you played street fighter 1, you can't really believe capcom planned street fighter 2 and all of it's outcomes before?

For the choices to be fair one would need to know the time span...
If I'd guess it's a month....

and never played just looked at screen shoots+video:
I would guess between 2 and 3.(uau! I voted 2 choices!)
Game play looks interesting enough from the videos I believe you will get more as word spreads...
Do you have a lite version going? From what I studied it seems to be a help factor.

If you may accept some constructive criticism from a person that never released an app before...

1- foreground tiles may be enhanced, check http://www.pixeljoint.com/ for inspirations

2- background is nice, but maybe some contrast difference between it and the fore?
   nightmare in the dark for the neo geo is an ace example of the effect...

3- add some dust effects on collision?

4- I'm not a fan of the 'turn page' effect on the videos, but that is just me.

I can't really say much, it looks nicely playable and tasty from the videos already, may be my opinions are too over.
It sure deservers more then option 5 though.

tried...

it´s wonderful, monsters are really cativating...neat.
will play more to check gameplay,
later...

I figure saving a TGA+alpha (32bits) from photoshop does not work on glbasic, either mask.
Using one layer with no background, saving png will work.

You usually have 2 types of alphas, premultiplied with a color or straight.
I guess glbasic does better on the premultiplied with white...
...but I will have to check it.

oh, had to send an extra...
