Sounds awesome! I'm keen <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I agree with Fimbul that you have to rethink your business model. As much as I want you guys to do well, and aside from the problems Fimbul has pointed out, I don't think that this is financially sustainable for you. It may be better to generate the sprites and then do a one-off sale, on the whole lot or on sets much like graphicriver.net or some other places.

Awesome! We can make Angry Birds Space with this <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I haven't been following closely, but a while back I saw a game "An Irrational Fear of Unicorns" with tons of f-words all over it (It's a really good game tho). Not sure if policy means we can do adult stuff anymore.

For me personally, less sets which have more in them will be much more useful. It's reasonably easy to find sprites around the place for free, but they're always partially done.

Kickstarter is actually a good option - Eldon Harris made this Indie Games Builder Bundle, and was able to raise way more than he asked for. I think your assets look better as well. This would be a good way to test the market and see what interest is there before you expend too much effort as well.

If that's not an option for you in my opinion $29 is not at all expensive. If you can make complete sprite sets then I'll be one of your first customers. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

What did they fail you on? They failed me twice because of some nitpicky snap view things, which they didn't care about last time.

Very nice - thanks! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

thehen - thanks for checking it out - I've set the game to pause in snap view now. Hopefully that is what those guys meant by 'instability issues'.

Wow, if that's the case that's probably one of the worst red herrings I've ever seen in a defect report. In fact that is one of the poorest, vaguest, laziest defect reports I've ever seen.

We should send them to the Scirra bug forums to see how it should be done!

thehen - you are the coolest - thanks! I'll pm you a link in just a moment...

Hi Guys,

I've submitted a game to the win store, which has been rejected twice because the testers were dissatisfied about the snapped view. Bizarrely, I used the same default snapped view that I used for my previous game.

I also noticed they picked up on a few other things that they completely ignored for my last game.

Anyone else getting these annoying issues with MS now? I guess it's possible I've had the misfortune of getting a particularly retentive tester :/

Sadly, this means I miss out for the Win8 compo, but ah well them's the breaks.

EH

p.s. Here's the most recent suitably vague report - no definition of "instability"

Notes from Testers:

A:: When reviewing the app, our reviewers observed instability issues when using snapped views with this app. More information on snapped views can be found here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465371.aspx

Ha I actually thought the aurora one look nice <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> like Carl im interested in your rates. I've definitely got work in the pipeline

My vote is for top down zombies with animations ... brainszzz!!! <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
