Hi Devs, my girlfriend and I are avid IOS game players and she is addicted to puzzle games on her iPod touch 4g. I'm getting ready to ask her to marry me soon and I was hoping to maybe pay a developer to add something to one of their games so when she finishes a certain level or reaches a certain score, a message would pop up asking her to marry me. I thought it would be incredibly cool and unique and I would compensate the dev for doing it. Someone could I guess give me an sdk of the game or something. Is this something anyone could help me with? Thanks in advance for any help! Joe.
Perhaps Sticktron can help mock up a fake game: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=113185
haha I thought of this recently.. would possibly be a good way to get some media attention too. Of course if she is horrible at the game and never gets to the "will you marry me?" level than I don't know what to tell ya
This idea was done a number of years ago in a special version of Bejeweled on a DS: http://p3ng.xanga.com/635897016/a-nerdy-proposal-story-im-engaged/ http://www.shacknews.com/article/52231/bejeweled-used-in-marriage-proposal
Hi J.R. Jalapeno, our upcoming Tetroms (www.tetroms.com) game might be ideal for this! Are you still looking for someone to help? I would enjoy this as a one-off.
And of course, PopCap helped and supported everything instead of sueing his ass off. I love these PopCap guys. Never saw a dev team with so much love and devotion for their fans before.
Absolutely!! That would be awesome. Thank you so much. I couldn't think of a better way to propose to her. The game looks like something she would love.
Awesome, I'll PM you later- just finished my weekend shift! Hey checkout the video/screenshots...I was just watching the vid and had an idea for your request here! I'm seeing a floating engagement ring (the lens flair...) Good Luck with your proposal
Hey J.R. Jalapeno, we'd be happy to do something for ya in our game Quadra. Take a look at it on our webstie and PM me if your interested. Sounds like a fun one-of http://www.cageofmonkeys.com/
Hi Hey Joe, This sounds like a good laugh and a great idea. I'd like to throw our game into the pot if that's ok. For your consideration, PLUM CRAZY http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=1871102&posted=1#post1871102 Happy to do a special version for you with your proposal to appear at any point you wished. SAY IT WITH PLUMS!!!! Cheers Al PS. If you do select us we take absolutely no responsibilty for the outcome of the proposal....unless of course it's a resounding YES, then we'll happily take full responsibility
Hi!! I want to thank everyone for your amazing support. Sorry I havent been available lately but I've been swamped at work, traveling all over the country teaching classes. It's been fun but I'm glad I'm home!! I just bought the ring yesterday, geeze I could have bought a car with that kind of cash!!! Lol I'm actually leaning towards an indie developer who has a really cute game I know she'll love and he's not charging but wants to use it as a promo for his game. If something happens and the deal falls through I'll let everyone know. Thanks again for everyone's willingness to help. It really means a lot. The people who are a part of Touch Arcade are simply the best there is. It feels like family
Congratulations Joe! I'm very excited that Foozle could be a part of your proposal plans, and I'm glad it all worked out. I'll get some video up of the gameplay footage, and thanks to Joe, maybe even some proposal footage as well. Again, thanks to Joe for letting me help.
Here's how it went! I was the dev he chose, and his proposal went into Foozle. Here's a write-up on the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/06/video-game-proposal_n_1186768.html .
