Maybe I missunderstood. A previous post said he was making the info up (they called him a liar,) and his only response was to say it was his 1000th post. If he got the info from a tweet, my mistake, sorry. It just sounded like he was saying it was ok to make stuff up on your 1000th post. No big deal either way, I suppose. I really am looking forward to this game though.
Yikes~~ No idea what that was about! Yeah... not sure where the rumor got started that Swarm was out. It's not. Currently it is in Apple's review process. This takes about two weeks... usually. But can be quicker or can be much... much longer. Worse, if they find something that doesn't meet their requirements it'll be rejected, and I have to fix whatever it is, and the process starts all over again. But that's the process! The first geoDefense got approved in like 4 days. A record! Updates took about one week exactly... and I got one rejection which was on the Lite version, but I fixed it and it got approved quickly after that. In any case, I have a do-not-publish-before date of the 14th (this Friday) so even if it was approved it would not be before Friday. The purpose of the not-before date is to allow reviewers time to get their reviewing done (there's 30 flippin levels... and some reviewers... like say.. I and I'm not naming names... touchArcade (cough)... do really thorough jobs!). So... yeah, GDS is *not* out yet. It's in Apple's loving hands. -- David
So, to whoever at TA is reviewing this.... What do you think? Is it only wicked-cool or is it totally awesome? Or even - dare I say it - 100% completely FAR OUT!!? Hey David: When is the website going live so we can see graphics and videos? Regards, Michael
This is out tomorrow! I'm buying it straight away. It looks better than the original which will make it the best, or joint best TD game.
Doubt it wouldn't have been. It's been the normal of period of time that a game takes to be approved, and it is geoDefense. let's hope it doesn't get A.D.D. approval speeds.
I really hope you are right. I'm excited to see what they've done with this one. I expect it'll take a different sort of strategy to beat this one. Wonder if it'll be as dad-blamed hard as the last.
@nsxdavid Thanks for publishing your game at a reasonable price point and not playing the "start high and price drop"-game that some devs do. I hope you do as well with GDS as you did with GD (or better). Good luck.
David, Has it been approved yet? Are we still on track for friday? If so, any idea what time we should expect it? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, Michael
I do hope this does come out today, not that I've finished the original game, nor a million other games I've downloaded...
I too am keeping an eye on the store to see if it comes out today. EDIT: Update, Dev just posted on twitter. Swarm still in review... "nsxdavid: Was hoping for the 14th...but GeoDefense Swarm is still in Apple Review. They say 96% of apps approved within 14 days. That would be Tue."
Come out, come out, wherever you are... I hope it comes out soon...so many of the TD games released lately have been such hybrid crap...it would be nice to play a solid game again.
