I am pleased as punch to announce that my Iphone Game osprey has been submitted to Unity for the competition fingers crossed…?

and should be submitting a build to Apple in a few Days as well… Happy Days…!

Good luck, Oxy!

I’ll keep my fingers crossed :slight_smile:

well thanks there Buddy… :wink:

us flying critters have to stick together

Would an osprey eat a parrot, I wonder? Mind you, a psychic one would know what was coming.

no we have a strictly fish based diet…so his safe unless I decide to diversify :wink:

The website with the trailer on it looks gorgeous! :slight_smile:

well Thank you Doctor pure… :wink:

Tomorrows is my Big Day for submission to Apple will my product Osprey that I have lovingly crafted over the last six months become a instant Hit and proppell me into the App Hall of Fame… or will it like the thousands of Apps that ran before just whither and die and leave yet another developer casualty…

I Initially was going to go with a publisher to avoid this risk kind of load the dice in my favour but it did not pan out that way I had a few interesting meetings with some well known Publishers and there Input I believe has made the product better However the Publishers who I talked to despite not saying no to the project just where not willing to offer any cash injections to fund development in fact one Big Time Publisher Responsible for a Number of big Iphone Hits actually excepted the product but asked me to add a DPAD when I siad I would but I would have to charge Him to do so…They said they would get back to me on it in fact I still have not heard from them …It seems with Osprey They Just wanted a finished project to ship and where not willing to take any form of gamble on the Project.

maybe the reason was That the project just was not good enough…I guess we will see they maybe right!

I Hope there wrong as I feel I have put a lot of Love into the Project to make it stand out.

Anyway I digress so lets get back to the real reason I posted which is to garner some interest in Osprey…

Below is a description that will go on the Appstore check it out and tell me if you like…Unlike my usual Grammer this was edited by tempest so it should be Readable…many Thanks Tempest…

OSPREY

Genre Adventure Arcade

Hunt, nurture and survive the rigors of the future in this “3D” game. This game contains gorgeously rendered backgrounds and slick animations. Utilize the iPhone’s state of the art tilt control features to capture prey for your young osprey chick who needs sustenance to gain the ability to fly.

Solve puzzles such as leading a repair truck to fix a broken generator to bringing a toy to entertain your demanding chick.

Escape from the rigors of your commute or just chill out, kick back and indulge in the relaxing experience that is Osprey.

The History of OSPREY

“Osprey” was first developed in the U.S.S.R. at Novosibirsk State University by Mikhail Alekseevich and Sergei Khristianovich. It was developed initially merely as a study of the possibilities of artificial intelligence (A.I.) creatures reproducing and mimicking nature. The Russian government, however, heard of the idea and despite the objections of Mikhail and Sergei the project was taken over by the state as the military elite thought the Osprey devices would be ideal for counter-espionage activities.

Soon after the two students mysteriously disappeared.

The Russian government, after hushing up the incident of the disappearing students, aggressively pursued their military program and developed an array of creatures. Without the input from the gifted students, however, the A.I. robots became harder to control and a number of them just disappeared. Scientists believed that the original hawks had developed some kind of teleportation device, but this was never proven as the project was ignominiously shut down soon after, and hushed up by the politicians who wished to avoid embarrassment.

That was over a hundred and twenty years ago…

osprey has just now been submitted to apple

I wish you the very best of luck with this!

Matt.
