    *hands you a cushion*

    :D

    Well, the game's pencilled in for end of March/start of April.

    When exactly I don't know!

    I'll see where I am at the end of this month and let you know what I think.

    Thing is, it's *Really* hard to give a prediction of when something will be finished. This was even true when I was working as a designer at other companies too!

    One of my fave developer 'sayings' is - "The game's 80% done! Just another 80% to go!"

    I was playing the game last night as I was working on it, and as I've said before it's basically playable! You can go from level 1-100 fine.

    But it's not feature complete and still in 'test' mode - needs a lot of work done!

    I'd best get back to i!

    Just wanted to update briefly with an iPhone 5 screenshot just for you lovely lot - not putting it anywhere else ;)

    The colour is currently called 'Yellow Snow'. I'm not sure if I should keep it!

    Progress going slow but steady! I keep adding things :O

    As awkward as the thread has been so far, it only seems appropriate.

    Still looks good! Appreciate the exclusivity.

    Hehe :D

    Will try and get you something new to look at for Friday which I'll post the next day for #screenshotsaturday everywhere else - you'll get a sneak peek for a day :D

    It is a bit! :O

    The scanlines aren't quite right at this screen size and that does affect the look - will work at it!

    Also, I put in the option to turn scanlines off if you fancy it.

    Because *some* heathens don't appreciate them! :O

    (also, the game's 'less putrid' looking without them!)

    Are there scanlines in the other two Air Supply games? Maybe my eyes aren't special enough to notice them.

    Not in the first one, but I am considering adding the option in an update :D

    The second one does have them!

    I think it's just that when they're not the right size, they darken the screen excessively which leads to putrification or something ;)

    I'll be honest, I've had a tough day today - Stuff just wasn't working right! :(

    I think it's a combination of this game's age. I started it just after the original Air Supply - almost 3 years ago now.

    It was built on the bones of that game, and there's stuff in there I have no idea what I was thinking or doing!

    I'm slogging through it. I guess it also hurts if you work on something a long time and don't write anything down!

    My sheepy brain can't handle it all!

    Still, I promised you a screenshot for Friday and you shall have it! :D

    If you're really struggling/frustrated with it, you can post a screenshot of something else. You just said something new, not something new from SOS. :cool:

    Oh, it's really getting on my nerves, but you know I hate to disappoint people!

    You will have your pound of flesh, good sir, whether you like it or not! ;)

    (also - I think I've worked out the problem. Also also - a quick go on Space Harrier on the 3DS will turn any frown upside down!)

    Btw sheepy, I meant putrid in a good way because the color was called "Yellow Snow" so I was referencing the reference to urine

    It's a reference to urine???

    *gasps, shocked*

    Well then... it'd be really childish of me to leave it in I think!

    *changes nothing*

    :D

    Hey all,

    Life threw one of those unexpected curveballs it likes to chuck at you every now and then, so I've had to take a few days off :(

    Will get back to work on Monday.

    I promised you a screenshot though, so here, just for you, is an image I like to call 'trouble' :)

    Be well all - have a fun weekend,

    *blushes* Oh you charmer!

    Oh! You mean the game? ;)

    So last week/weekend ended up being a bit of a wash I'm afraid. Nothing I could do about it, honest :(

    I'm trying to get back into it this week. February's a short month (just mentioning it in case anyone panics when it's suddenly March) so this kind of delay is a bit costly...

    But I'm back on it now. Hope to be semi-feature complete by start of March.

    Ideally I'd like to get this out before the Easter rush!

    Hope you all had a good one!

    QS =D
