Well, I finally managed to upload my first app to the AppStore last night!

It's still in the review stage at the moment and I've got no idea how long that takes but it can't be more than a few days I don't think.

The app is a game called Doodle Sub (I checked copyright on the "Doodle" name and there is only an issue if you make the game such that people will be lead to believe that Lima Sky made it) and you play a submarine diving down through the ocean and have to steer (tilt) left-to-right to avoid the mines and sharks but also keep your air supply topped up by collecting air bubbles along the way.

It's my first ever iPhone app and my first ever game (on any platform) so I kept it simple (but good) and I've got no idea what to expect from the AppStore.

It isn't on the AppStore yet as it's still waiting to be reviewed but I don't think they'll be any problem with it.

I will be asking a couple of people to review it (on YouTube etc...) but may have a couple of spare promo codes once the important ones are given away.

Can't wait to see what happens!

Fingers crossed!

Just to say good luck with this, I'm really rather impressed that you've gone through with the whole process and I do hope it brings suitable rewards for you.

Thanks! It has been a very steep (almost vertical) learning curve at points along the way.

I'm actually quite proud of my little game It's only simple but everything in it has come from me. The idea, the design, the game logic, the collision, etc... is mine. I even did the in-game graphics and I'm no artist but I think it works really well

The only part of the app I didn't do is the icon. I had a proper artist do that for me and it looks AMAZING!

I'll put some screenshots and the icon art up when I get home tonight.

Nice one Oli.

Let us know when it's up on the app store.

I'll look out for this one.

Well done on getting it finished. Hope there's a lot of interest in it.

puns intented?

what would be needed in your game is your trademark "LOL!" everytime someone dies in it

cool, Make sure were aware when it gets approval and its on to download

Following on from the FPOTD thread, I downloaded this this arvo and am currently waiting for it to download!

Thanks!

Like a right muppet I deleted a couple of the image textures for the final version when I was "streamlining".

Currently the little bubbles are just white squares and the air supply is non-existent

I have uploaded version 1.01 with the images back in.

It's currently awaiting review (sorry).

Don't worry, my iPhone is doing weird things and it won't download so will have to wait till it's hooked up at home.

OK, I have removed it from sale until the update goes on.

I'm fricking p*ssed off with myself for messing around with it and fricking breaking it.

Once the update is approved I'll let you know.

I was about to ask about that...
Still liking it though

Cool!

Thanks!

I'll let you know when the update is available! Believe me, I will be consatntly checking.

I could really kick myself now. I knew at the time that I shouldn't be messing around with it.

Oh well.

The head of comp sci in Aber has a Welsh phrase app, one update he did a little tweak before uploading. Turns out he had inadvertently deleted an entire category and pointed the reference to a completely sufferer category.

It happens to the best of us!
