I was really pysched for the release of the Father Simons game. It coulsdon have been a great game but he really has blotted his copybook. With all the forums dissing it he won't have a hope off selling it under different developer names and different app names

Well, he brought a lot of this grief on himself. We all tried to give him constructive criticism, but instead of applying it to make his current game better, he simply "learned from his mistakes" with his next game. Sadly, though, it sounds like that wasn't even true. I followed the thread on Alcatraz for a while, and the actual development cycle seemed awfully short, which means there probably wasn't a whole lot of QA. I mean the initial release came stock with a save slot that already had half the game solved for you! I even offered to help him beta test but he didn't seem interested.

I got the impression that he was quite young (don't know why). A lot of talent but too immature to really get somewhere. His future as a developer will hopefully be cut short if Apple decide to do the right thing(won't hold my breath though)

These are links to the AppShopper.com site, not iTunes. Not only are these the same game, but isn't this Father Simmons??? I'm beginning to think "Apple Quality Control" is as big an oxymoron as "military intelligence". Is there no stopping the developer of this game?

Hahahaha first time I've laughed all day! Is this dev for real??? He needs to be reported!! Lololol clearly he isn't very stable. And yes, I wasted money on his piece of junk game that he said would be updated to correct everything blah blah blah He decided to take another route and try to rip people off!

Hadn't really thought of that, but if he is then maybe he just needs to get straightened out a bit. I think there's some potential there, so I'd hate to see him get completely cut off, but he really needs to start working with people that know more than he does.

I have reported him, but I'm not sure if I went about it the right way. We'll probably find out tomorrow.

On a different note, I thought everyone might find this thread in relation to our topic about downloading problems interesting: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3712134?tstart=0

Okay, so as I mentioned yesterday I reported SoftGamers. I used the Apple Service And Support link from iTunes, which I figured would be the wrong place, but I didn't know where else to take care of this. I actually did get a response back today and the tech gave me the proper link to go to. So I follow the link and in the midst of filling out the information I see a blurb stating that they generally do not reply to anything submitted through this form. Basically, I'll probably never hear if they're going to do anything or if they just think I was inappropriate for reporting it in the first place.

What cracks me up, though, is that when I sent a reply back thanking the tech for the link, this was his response: "Eric, nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that we have pleased our customers". Now this is the same guy that had been "helping" me with the download issue. Does he really think I'm pleased? If I wasn't so tired of this I'd actually find this quite amusing.

You need a closing bracket on your second URL to actually make it a URL

I fixed it in my reply. Looks interesting, so I might just give it a try.

By the way, I know it's been out for a while, but I've been playing Gardenscapes HD these past couple of days, and it's a whole lot of fun. I've actually beaten the game on my PC, but I think I'm going to play it through again on my iPad. It's a hidden object game under the guise of a rummage sale, and the objects you find earn you money to help restore the manor's magnificent garden.

Actually, I am testing an application that might be of great interest to forum members in the future. Unfortunately, it messes up URLs in forum posts right now. I fixed the link in the original post. Thanks for letting me know.

Is Gardenscapes HD the Playrix game? If so it was an unholy blast on the MacBook Pro. I'm going to have to break down for that iPad in the middle of March (after the iPad 3 announcement/release).
