Hi all,

I submitted my first iPhone game to the Apple review process last week. In the mean time, have a look at the web site and let me know what you think.

congrats…Galen
is there a video?..

There isn’t a video… yet. Is there a recommended (or common) approach for doing these videos? Do I literally use a video camera and record me playing, or something like fraps to record the game?

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks,

Galen

It’s personal preference I think it’s more professional to capture the data straight from the computer but thats just my view…not convinced shaky camera game action with bad lighting is the way to go I use ScreenFlow it’s relatively cheap as well… :wink:

5

Thanks! One question about ScreenFlow, it says you can use any simulator to record for iPhone, so do you just capture the Unity play window? I was under the impression Unity wouldn’t play in the Apple simulator, is that correct?

Thanks,

Galen

never tried using the simulator before…

But a little confused I use screen flow just to capture my playing data and then i incorporate it into my website not sure why you need the simulator…?

7

screen flow captures anything on a screen…even if you have dual screens…and running pc emulation on your Mac…like me… it lets you choose which screen to capture…It’s a nice slick product! recommend it to any one creating Iphone content…or training videos…I use to use adobe Premier to edit stuff …but you can edit really easily in screenflow…is so much simpler it took me 5 mins to work it out…

8

I was hoping the software would capture direct from the device, but the marketing information on the Screenflow site refers to capturing using “any simulator”, but perhaps I’m not understanding what they’re referring to.

Thanks,

Galen

not sure about that…as I siad never use the simulator just use unity remote…

Well, I’m still wrestling with creating a video of game play… however in the mean time :wink:

Hmm, no takers? :sweat_smile:

I’ll take this one of 3 ways, either I’m so far off the mark I can’t even give this game away

or

you took it, you tried it, you were so disgusted it didn’t warrent a response

or

you took it, you tried it, and haven’t looked up long enough to respond

Good lord paranoia sets in fast

Oh well… any thoughts out there?

Galen

I’d say so. Its only been three hours since you put out the codes. I would try one myself but I dont have a touch or iphone. :frowning:

14

Hehe, no worries. I can’t actually see how fast the codes are used, however I threw 5 out on touch arcade and they disappeared so fast I refreshed my screen after 30 seconds and they were apparently … gone!! :shock:

The third poster said so! I’ve been agonizing over this game going live for 3 weeks, and I’ve only had limited feedback mostly from a couple of testers to this point. So I’m over anxious to hear if others like what I’ve built :slight_smile:

Now, I’m over the magic 10Mb download limit, soo… I guess that’s part of it.

I’m actually amazed at how fast I’ve begun fuming over every detail. “stupid screen shots”, blurry graphics here, did I just see a stutter during game play… and so on.

Oh well, time will tell (send your responses care of the local mental health organization :twisted: )

:lol:

Hi folks,

Just an FYI, as near as I can tell from Apple reports there are still some of the above codes up for grabs (nearly half from what I can see).

Thanks,

Galen
