[iOS] Zombie GP

[_Belial]

Good morning boys and girls,

This is a completely shameless plug to celebrate me popping my appstore cherry with the release of Zombie GP this morning.

http://itunes.apple.com/app/zombiegp/id461068623?mt=8

Total Zombie Magazine describes it as

“Certainly the best zombie game to ever be produced in Pwllheli!”

Nuts 4 Zombies rates it a 5* hit with

“I’ve never had so much fun playing a zombie karting game on an iPhone on the 29^th September before 08:30”

And BoyoGamer.com loved it, describing it as

“If I was a pixelated 40x40 zombie I’d want to be racing in zombie GP”

There’s one of those annoying facebook pages setup for it too

Next update (once I get stackimals out of the way) includes new tracks, and an elimination mode

Thank you. You can now return to your coffee (and in some cases Jeremy Kyle).

I'll be dropping promo codes for VIP's in the VIP section later

Thank you all.

well done mate, sounds good, will have to dig my iphone out !

whens the android version due :-P

Just plugged on my FB page also

I've never really looked at the android dev tbh, I've got 1 other game i'll hopefully get finished in the next couple of weeks. Then i'm to the drawing board for another game, Corona lets me publish to iOS + Android so I'm pretty certain I'll have that one on both platforms (just need to get myself an android phone to try it out with ).

Bought will report back with my opinion. :-)

[_Belial]

Feedback so far, which will go into next version

Lap time rollover - needs to show with full decimal places at all time / or have however many was intended.
Option to turn music/sounds off
Accelerate noise needs quietening or throw some more sounds in.
Fonts are messed up - i.e when you choose your character "mike" the I and the K are merged - just use a dif font I reckon.
Tilt seems overly sensitive

don't have iphone so plugged on Fb for you

[_Belial]

Thanks mate

[rIKmAN]

What language did you develop this in mate?

Well done!

why can the other guys go over blood without spinning?

[_Belial]

Yeah, the other players go over blood and slow down not spin, I did have them spin initially but it ended up causing chaos on the track as there were cars going everywhere. I may look into putting that back then.

Just a quick question. What is your background? Do you have Javascript experience? My son (who is only 11) was looking into developing a few simple apps for a school project.

[_Belial]

My background is mostly commercial apps, worked for quite a few well-known companies worldwide, been contracting in IT for 15 years now, and bored to tears of writing yet another database driven app so thought i'd give games a go These days I mostly code in C#, being a mercenary contractor I go where the cash is

If your son is interested in writing apps i can reommend phonegap. You write all your code in javascript + HTML5 and it compiles it into an app you can throw on the appstore or android store, by far the easiest route in if he's got javascript experience.

And best of it, it's FREE (Although you do need to pay apple $99 a year for a developer account to publish to appstore). I had a quick play with this last week as my youngest brother wanted to try some apps out and got to say it was dead easy to use, I'll definitely be using it myself in the future.
