Almost release

My MacbookPro's logicboard died last week. I had downtime for about 5 days. Sucks hard. Very bad. Muy mal. Dahmehdess. It's pretty interesting because this is the first hardware problem I've ever had in 20 years of owning a Mac. There were a few years I didn't have a main Mac to work with, but that's still good for a computer.

So anyways, I have to release the game within this week.. because... My wife is having a baby in a week! (at least that's the due date)

As I'm making my own game from scratch, I'm becoming more conscious about the other half of the success, the marketing. It'll be fun when I put the new hat on to play that role. I'm thinking about doing press release, contacting app review sites, and.. what else can I do...?

5日ほどマクブクプロが壊れました。おうのう。20年間マック使って初めてのハード問題。今使ってるのは4台目かな?なかなかがんばったな。
今週中にアプリ提出しないと。。赤ちゃんが産まれます。(笑)

開発するのもいいけど、作ったものをどうやって宣伝するかも最近よく考えてます。いくらいいものがあっても人の手にわたる術がなければ全然意味ないっす。まずはプレスリリースとレビューサイトからアタックするかな。
あたっくー あたっくー なーんばーーーわーーん。

  2. Hi Jittus,
    Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to know someone actually reads my blog. lol I don't mention about it here, but I strongly recommend Cocos2d framework if you are looking to develop games. I only used Core Animation for Dungeons & Such because I didn't know about Cocos2d when I started developing this game. http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/
    Good luck on your quest!
