What happened to Hill Billy?

[Forerunnerz]

I have been waiting for this game for 3 months, ever since I first saw the video on the mechanics of the game, and on February 14th arn had reported that the developer of Hill Billy has submitted it to the AppStore and that it was awaiting approval. Now at February 21st and still no Hill Billy. Same goes for Sway, which was submitted on the 16th. Maybe Hill Billy didn't get past the ratings on the AppStore due to the excessive gore, but Sway..?

Hill Billy, well, sooner or later, gorey FPS are gonna get through. It's what the public wants. Hill Billy probably will go through. I mean, you're shooting rabbits. That sadistic game with the cat and saws went through.

dunno about Sway. I mean, you're moving ragdolls in essence.

[Wegmans]

I want Hill Billy so bad. It was one of my most anticipated games for the iPhone, right beside Rolando.

[inferi22]

I think it looks ląmê I'm going to lõok forward to better quality shooters

[Coral]

Any word on this game? Has it been rejected for gore or is it still stuck in the review process?

[superbad]

Oh, shit. My bad. I used the search button but it find your thread.

[yourofl10]

[yongkykun]

Apple's filled with hypocrites. I bet most of them have bought their children games like GTA and such.

[Coral]

If there is no word on this by wednesday the money I was saving will be spent on something else.

[Forerunnerz]

You know what, I'm going to try and contact the dev, ask him what's going on with Hill Billy.

[Forerunnerz]

Sent him a message asking that we(Touch Arcade) want details on the happenings of his game. I asked him if it was denied, or what. Just have to wait until he replies back.

[Coral]

I haven't even been able to find info on the dev. Do you know their website?

No website. Only a YouTube account (http://www.youtube.com/user/nilomirage).

[Stykman]

wasnt this game announced like a couple weeks or months ago

what ever happened to it did the dev like cancel the project?

[Forerunnerz]

It was submitted 2 weeks ago.

[Stykman]

i gues it isnt coming because zen bound came out like 5-6 day after it was submitted

[supg328911]

Think this will be $0.99 for a day or two when it comes out?

hell i hope so i dont have much left on my account after zen bound:D,

[RedStaR]

do any of you have any factual basis?
Or is all this hear say?

[DHrox]

It's all just speculation. Except for the youtube account thing I believe. However, we do know it was submitted. Arn posted that a while ago.

[Coral]

Still no news on the game?

[nuggetsman28]

tomorrow is tuesday, the day a lot of games get through....lets hope....

[traonk]

[Rohan Dalal]

and what happened to zombie driver also? :mad:

[rich_952000]

Hill Billy.....guess the Sh!tgun got it sh!tcanned!

[dmbfan1192]

Was really looking forward to this... anybody know if it's being resubmitted?

[Kris Jones]

Yes,

They are going to keep toning down the violence factor until it passes through into the AppStore.

Probably be a few weeks to a few months, depending on Apple.

[Stykman]

i think someone shot and killld hilly billy

[Forerunnerz]

Was really looking forward to this... anybody know if it's being resubmitted?

It was already resubmitted about a week ago with toned down violence because of apples homo review system.

[sundance kid]

they will probably have to do what alien mangle game where it originally had blood and apple wouldn't release it so they made it greenish blue alien blood instead then it was released.

[crimson.]

Maybe Apple should just get that sand out of it's vagina and release the game already...

[DaveMc99]

Dr. Arugala has alot of red blood so don't think that is the reason..

[sundance kid]

maybe its several other things and blood
like how theres a gun called a shit gun?

who knows apple is pretty ridiculous with games
the good ones get denied
and stupid ones like all the farting apps everyone gets
maybe its partly to blame on somebody always needing to complain about something


apple=nazis

[thisisme]

yea apples like one of those overprotective moms that doesnt let their kids go to the movies cuz its dark in the theatre

[sundance kid]

that's pretty funny

but very true

if they want to be a factor in the hand held gaming category
they really need to lighten up

if its because they don't want to offend people or kids that have them
then don't let your kids get them change the itunes password or make some kind of esrb thing
i know the games have ratings and all but they could make it so some games you have to be old enough to buy and they could easily do that by just making parental control's some time of system where you have to verify your age

that way developers could release what they want, b**tching parents would be happy, apple would still get there greedy hands on all there money
and we are all happy as well:):):)

they already do this, I had to verify my age to download amateur surgeon. i'm not sure why they don't use it more though.

umm whoa man, you prove my point in the blue mango thread. Not cool.

I just ignore everything he says, he's never added anything worthwhile to any one conversation. His threads have been locked more than left open.

I've never started a thread. Plus it's a joke. Get over yourself. And stay on topic.

If Apple really considers the iPhone/iPod a gaming platform they need to 1. Get better quality control. No more DS effects crap. And 2. Sell mature rated games. I'm not talkng porn or anything but they should at least let bloody games through. Until then I'll never consider the iPhone a gaming platform. That's just my opinion though.

(I'm pretty sure I just added to the conversation. I could be wrong though.)

[supg328911]

there was an article on this saying it got rejected

Didnt you see? it got rejected like a few weeks ago for beign to violent and will be resubmitted less violent soon

[Coral]

It said it was being resubmitted. No word on when, or with what changes. I am about to just flat out give up on this one.
