Hey tulamide, great to see another instalment of tracks. How did the ludum dare style music event go, I hope you had fun!   <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks for the kind words, you even taught me a new one 'sedulous'! But it's really you that does all the hard work, I just have to sit here and listen.   <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Anyway on to the good bit! This is another fantastic set of loops, and you're just giving them away for free, what a bargin!

scorpion_8b - has a very ominous feel, the heart beat sound which runs through the piece, is particularly effective!

letters_8b - has a melancholy feel to it, almost as though it's trying to stay positive, but can't help being sad!

bad_radio_4b - is indeed reminiscent of department store "elevator" music, and would add a really nice comical element to a game! Perhaps while a character is impatiently waiting to move on to a new section/area!

bogart_4b - a very cool piece, with quite a dark feel to it!

diamond_broad_8b - and from the darkness into the light! diamond_broad is a really nice loop, and has a very positive 'new day' kind of sound to it!

diamond_narrow - follows on from diamond_broad very well, and both pieces really compliment one another! I do slightly prefer the simplicity of diamond_narrow though!

cascade_16b - this track had a strange, but appealing mixture of both sadness and hope, although I could be way off base? Anyway I though it was another very beautiful piece.

confident_8b - an upbeat sound, that gently builds as it progresses!

grieved_8b - shares many similarities with confident, but has a much more ominous feel to it! Perhaps summed up best by saying that, both confident and grieved seem to be two sides of the same coin (if that makes any sense)!

elephant_8b - firstly I must say what a fantastic name for a music track (conjures up all sorts of possibilities)! Great track with a very futuristic sound (has a real "Blade Runner" feel to it)!

mechanic_4b - has a very serious, driving and action-packed sound! Makes me think of a hitman styled assassin, hunting down his victims, with gun in hand!

rush_4b - another very fast paced, driving piece of music, with an underlying tension to it!

Hope I wasn't too far off the mark, you certainly kept me on my toes this time! Whilst all of the tracks were excellent, some of the pieces had a very mixed feel, and were difficult to classify!

Well we're getting a little bit closer to a bad track, at least you managed to get 'bad' into one of the titles this time    <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hi appbackr,

Disappointed that we still haven't had any further news from you!

I'd still like to submit our apps (x4) through appbackr! But it would be helpful if you could answer a couple of questions first.

1. Your terms and conditions mention a commission payment. I've read that it's 10%. Is that figure accurate, and will it apply in this instance?

2. If the above figure is correct, could you tell me what services we can expect from appbackr (e.g. do you actively promote games on your website, or do you just host them)?

We just need a few more details, before we decide to submit with you.

Thanks for your time.

Nice work sqiddster, this looks absolutely fantastic!

Greenlight thumbs up from me, good luck :)

Hey appbackr,

It would be helpful to know what services / support we can expect from appbackr if we submit our apps with you?

Do appbackr actively promote the apps on their site, or do they just host them?   

Thanks, for the help.

Thanks for the advice Ashley, that'll be really helpful!

Hey ChrisAlgoo, hope you enjoy the jam! It'd be great to hear more about it, when you're done :)

Yeah thanks szymek, this is really helpful stuff.

I'd still be interested to hear a little more about the C2's config file though!

simwhi, thanks for the reply.

I had thought about creating my own config file!

But I'd still be interested to see what Ashley thinks. After all, if you just need to recreate the config file anyway, then why have it in the export in the first place?

Also Tom 's tutorial re submitting to appBackr, doesn't mention anything about this. Does that mean lot's of us have submitted .wgt files, which won't work on Tizen?

Ashley, please could you offer some advice.

I'm hoping to export some projects to Tizen via appBackr, using Tom's "Create WGT File" tutorial!

However, I wanted to test the apps before submitting to appBackr. So I've also worked through your tutorial, for exporting to Tizen!

Unfortunately every time I've tried to run the project through the SDK, I receive an error on the C2 generated config file. But If I copy across everything except for the C2 generated config file, the project seems to work!

Does this indicate a problem with the C2 generated config file, or a bug in the Tizen SDK? Does appBackr, make any changes to the config on their end, is this why it doesn't seem to work initially?

I'm happy to submit my .wgt files to appBackr! But I wanted to make sure everything is working properly, before I do!

Thanks for reading this, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Joannesalfa, I agree it would be good to hear a little more information from appbackr about what they can do for us!

Their terms and conditions are worth reading see here

Section 5.2 - states that you are granting them a non-exclusive license to distribute your app.

Section 6.3 - states that you remain the owner of all rights (including intellectual property) to your app.

Section 3.4 - mentions the commission that appBackr receives for their services.

I'm most interested in section 3.4. I've read that appBackr charges 10% for their services, but I'm still not completely sure what those services are.

If we are paying the 10% for appBackr to actively promote our apps, leading to the possibility of many more downloads, then I'd say it's a worthwhile investment. If however, we're charged 10% just for hosting our apps on their website, then this doesn't seem like such a good deal!

It would be interesting to get some further clarification on these points, appbackr?

BAnyBudde, no problem, glad I could help :)

Sorry but I don't have any experience of using IAP on Tizen yet! I was planning on getting some apps onto the platform, then updating with IAP later!

Hopefully someone else may be able to advise you!

BAnyBudde,

There's a new tutorial from Ashley How to export to Tizen

I experienced some problems when using the C2 generated config file though!

You can create a test project in the SDK, use the config file from that, and it seems to work!

Hope that helps :)

szymek, thanks for the info.

When I saw the tutorial "Create WGT File", I was really pleased, as it made everything seem so easy!

It will be a real shame if we all miss out on the chance to enter the Tizen competition, because of this 1 problem :(

But the deadline is fast approaching, so I really hope they can come up with some further advice soon!
