Apple has been having trouble paying off their developers (and we should have seen it coming). Unfortunately, we are no exception and have yet to be paid for sales of Warped Space. While we were hopeful about selling iPhone/iPod apps, this lack of being paid for sales made us realize we should probably move back to our original platform: the PC.
For those who bought Warped Space: Thank you! We will probably be paid one day and we’re still very thankful for your purchase. If you have not bought Warped Space. GO BUY IT ANYWAY!
It’s really exciting to see a project you did to start getting used by people. Especially when they tell you what they think of it. That’s starting to happen with our game Warped Space.
As of today (July 23rd, 2009) we have found or been told of these reviews:
These reviews, and any in the App Store, help to aim our improvements for the next version. So if you know of any reviews that aren’t listed, please let me know or place them in the comments below.
We finished up version one of Warped Space on Friday, June 19th and submitted it for review that night. Now it is a waiting game on Apple while we develop our other games. However, we know Apple has done initial testing of it since they have posted high scores for two levels as the user “apple” from an Apple owned IP address.
In the meantime you should check out the product page we have up for Warped Space.
Unfortunately we had to push back the release of Warped Space for a few reasons. We decided there was functionality missing that should be in the initial release, especially that of global scoreboards so you can compete with everyone. This is also our first time getting intimate with the iPhone OS, so we’ve been hitting snags we did not expect.
It really is not bad news for you all, the game is looking and feeling better than I thought it would (here’s a taste):
Other than Warped Space we have two definite projects for the iPhone OS that we will start once we submit Warped Space for App Store approval. That should be very soon too.
Eric and I are once again living in the same state (for the foreseeable future at that) and we’ve been hard at work on Warped Space. We are submitting Warped Space to the iTunes App Store this Friday, June 5th.
Of course we still have last minute things to do on the project such as more play testing, scoring tweaks and, of course, more content. The way we’ve designed Warped Space is such that we can easily add new planets, projectiles, missions, backgrounds, etc… So that is what we’ve been hard at work doing.
We are in love with the idea that every mission is ad libbed by a computer. Not only will it come up with a, hopefully comedic, mission plan for you it changes the way you get from planet to planet. Sometimes you will go in an airplane, other times you’re represented by a family of three.

Here is a good example of one of the mission plans: I am an expert in the creamcheese field. I'm studying the effect of half-human half-cat mutant on planet New New Mexico. Can you take me there?
Yes we have received our iPhone developer’s license, and that happened about a month ago. But we’re more excited about the game we are getting close to submitting to the app store. We have been working all week (a week in which Eric and I are in the same state) and have come up with some pleasing results.
The game, Warped Space, involves some planets, so we had to make some artwork. Now we have all sorts of planets made: ice planets, gas giants, earth like planets, what-have-you. Here’s just a small taste of Warped Space with an ice planet and the main menu:

We’re excited about it. I think it is looking good.
