Soma Games Finishes G - w00t!

[Cryptopur]

Hey CGAlliance,

I just wanted to drop in with a quick update on our project.

First, G is done and now is in front of Apple's review board. Typically this takes 1-2 weeks and after that...we'll see what the market says.

In short, G is our take on the tried and true gravity simulator. We're launching it on the iPhone first but plan to port it over to other platforms as time and money allow. G is also the first of three small-size prequel games to a console game called Arc which we will be putting up on X-Box (Lord willing).

Anyway, the folks on this forum have been rather supportive I just wanted to keep everyone here in the loop and let you see what we're doing.

Thanks!
Well we're looking at a $4.99 price out of the gate which seems to be where the price for iPhone has more or less stabilized. Right now, there is no plan for a 'lite' version but that's more a manpower consideration than anything else.

That said, we have another two iPhone games in the pipe that all interconnect and we also plan to port them to other platforms as well (Mac, PC, X-Box...Wii if we can figure that out...)

Sweet...$4.99 is in my price range, but might have to wait another 2 weeks for my next payday...

Hey Everybody,

Just a quick update to my post from last week. Over the weekend, G went live!
w00t!

We're already seeing sales literally from all over the world! The UK, France, Singapore, China (I don't even know how that happened...it wasn't supposed to...) and while only a couple of folks have written reviews so far they are extremely encouraging.

If you're interested...we sure would appreciate your support and a review.

Also - I just found a thread on TouchArcade that really has me excited. Some folks found the game like an hour after it went live in the middle of the night and the discussion has been really encouraging. Check it out.

I will definitely pick it up sometime in the next too weeks, and I will review it shortly after I get a good play on the game...

Hi folks - am I allowed to post a link to another forum here?
If that's bad manners, please excuse me under the ignorance clause of the EULA.

Across several boards we've had many questions about porting G to other platforms. We'll we're getting ready to start that process and we're looking for a few volunteers to help out. If you're a programmer and think you might want to pitch in, I've started a thread here just to keep the idea organized:
