Update: App is now out, new thread started here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=103387 Hi, Some of the older forum members might remember me from a game I did on the iPhone back in 2008 called Hiqup, or from the app store review scraper I had running for a while. Anyway, I'm currently in the final stages of development of an app that features two characters I've been working on for years called Arthur & Charles (Arthur is the boy and Charles is a Bugapilla): They're aimed at children and their first outing (there will be an iPad interactive book coming hopefully later in the year as well) is a game that will be universal (so iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) where you create pieces in the form of square faces and use the pieces you create to play a range of games, including card matching, pattern matching and a match 3 game. Here's the trailer: Update: It was submitted to the app store 3rd August. Will be priced at 69p / 99c. Tentative release date (all being well with approval) is 15th August.
I've started a Tumblr for Arthur & Charles and I'm posting a face a day, made in the game, to show you what's possible with the face creation in Create & Play. The tumblr is here: http://arthurandcharles.tumblr.com/ A new face will be added everyday until the game is released.
I've added more images today in a new blog post on my development blog for the game. These images show the various animated backgrounds that are used in the games. More details, and the images, at http://devblog.arthurandcharles.com/ Also I'm still posting a face a day made with the face creator in the game. They can be seen here: http://arthurandcharles.tumblr.com/
Aww, this is adorable! I really love the face creating system there, just a quick look onthe tumblr shows a big range of face designs. I love it!
Thanks There are a lot of pieces in the app itself, many more than I can show posting just a face a day, so there will be plenty of variation for people to play with.
There's a new blog post up today on my development blog which includes some screenshots of the front menu for Create & Play. More details, and the images, at http://devblog.arthurandcharles.com/ I'm still posting a face a day made with the face creator in the game - there are now 17 faces posted. They can be seen here: http://arthurandcharles.tumblr.com/
Another new blog post today about Create & Play, giving some statistics on the face creator and how varied the faces are that you can produce. More details at http://devblog.arthurandcharles.com/ I'm still posting a face a day made with the face creator in the game - there are now 23 faces posted. They can be seen here: http://arthurandcharles.tumblr.com/ Also, the app is going into beta testing later this week so it's getting closer to release and still on track for that to happen mid-August.
Create & Play went into beta testing today with a selection of beta testers. With any luck (fingers crossed and all that) the app will be available in mid-August.
I submitted Create & Play to the app store this morning. Hurrah! Tentative release date (all being well with approval) is 15th August.
Create & Play is now available in the app store. I've created a post for it in the correct forum now it has been released. Thread is here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=103387
