OMG we actually finished something! (FREE version available soon!)

[jaywat]

So, after a terrifying battle with the xcode distribution build process, our first game has just been submitted to Apple for review!

You can read about it on the appstore thread here: http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=3857.msg32109#msg32109

Mykyl66 and myself would like to thank those of you who gave answers and advice in response to our avalanche of questions over the last few months, and our thanks to Gernot for making it possible for the two of us to realise our game development ambitions. In fact it's only taken 5 weeks to develop Hungry Birdz from concept to submission, but we have so many other ideas and concepts we've already coded, it was hard to decide which project to concentrate on, and it's an amazing feeling to finally have finally finished something we started! 

And when we say we're 'finished', we have a number of further features and modes for Hungry Birdz that we're dying to reveal in future updates.

Awesome game. I hope it sells very well.

Wow, the graphics are adorable.  Very professional looking.  Congratulations on getting it completed, and I think this has a chance at being popular!

[Hatonastick]

That looks really good.

Congratulations, it looks like a great start to your iPhone development!

Very cool and nice to see.  New ideas can certainly get in the way but it is exciting to submit an iPhone app when it's complete.

hope it sells well

Thanks guys

We’ve just had confirmation from Apple that Hungry Birdz will be on sale worldwide within the next 24 hours. There are big, wide grins all round here at Shark Soup Studios!

Edit: it *IS* now available on the iTunes store! http://itunes.apple.com/app/hungry-birdz/id363871946

Hi guys,

Just to say, we've just submitted update 1.1 of Hungry Birdz for review, and also, Hungry Birdz FREE, which lets you experience all three game modes: Arcade, Nature and Survival. Each allows you to play through 5 days of the game, and includes all the features of Hungry Birdz 1.1, and specific High Score tables for Hungry Birdz FREE.

We were going to include Openfeint in this release, but 93 high score tables in the Openfeint Dashboard looks a bit unwieldy!

If you give Hungry Birdz or Hungry Birdz FREE a go, we're interested to hear your feedback. Thanks.

[jaywat]

Free version has been approved. Yay!
