We're adding some unlockable features in the endless mode. The nectar you collect on each play will act as your currency. Today we'll be making Phoebee an unlockable playable character.
Here's a pic of what I added today as mentioned in the post above. So as you see your currency of nectar will increase each time you play the endless mode of the game. And then each unlock has a nectar cost. We still haven't submitted it to the app store yet. So I'm thinking not to go crazy with the unlockable content for the moment. And add some more stuff in an update.
I'm working on finishing the script for the story mode today. I've been putting it off for a while. But now that I'm sat down and am back into it I'm starting to have fun with it. I'm developing the characters so they have individual and consistent personalities. At the moment I'm most enjoying writing the lines for the character Sting. While Corbee, the first playable character, is off trying to save the hive Sting stays at home being pessimistic and offering an alternate viewpoint to the other characters. The game has a friendly and innocent aesthetic so I'm liking that we have a character who is a contrast to that. At many times I've felt daunted by how much work in needed to finish this game so that it's as content-rich and professional as I want it to be. But today I was thinking 'I can write anything I want - it's my game!' So just enjoying the creative freedom to do what ever I want with it.
Hi, yeah we're still taking on beta testers. PM me your email and I'll get in touch later today. Cheers, Shaz
Ok, we plan on submitting our game to Apple next week. We're now just implementing the last of the changes based on the testing. If you want to be part of the last round of testing just sign up using this link (on your device) http://bit.ly/ky0agi

Almost finished Thanks Glad you're looking forward to it. New screenshots posted at the top of this thread! We're on track to submit to itunes at the end of the week. Will be a big relief to finally get it released. I've been both impatient and hesitant for ages. Know what I mean? I want to get our game out there but I want to make sure it's really good too. And to be honest I'm a bit scared that nobody will know about it on release day. But we gotta jump in sooner or later! I'm hoping that the appeal of the game comes across in the screenshots. I think the overall presentation and characters have a lot of charm. Play testing feedback has been positive about the art, music and gameplay too. Only time will tell...
Looking awesome! Can't wait! The game looks awesome buddy! Love the music and sound effects. A must-buy for me when it's launched!
This game has definitely improved a lot since the first beta! It's visuals are fantastic and the overall game is really fun! Your going to love the little story line in the game.
Here's a new screenshot. Coming very soon to the app store. Just waiting for Apple to approve it now...
Apple's app store reviewers have moved Honey Tribe to 'In review'. So if all goes well it should be on itunes pretty soon...!
