It's a false sense of security for developers, one which <br />I've been buying Apple products for a number of years now and I haven't been treated with the kind of disrespect that "Mountain Sheep" the developer of Minigore, have been shown.<br />Such disrespect that is an insult to the world of technology and to your somewhat two faced company.<br />I believe one of your highest ranking employees once stated that App updates will not take very long to be submitted, so why the 5 week wait for "Minigore" ? It doesn't add up, it really doesn't.<br />I thought you were an organised company, with a considerable reputation, a reputation which is now spiralling downwards with angry App developers and frustrated gamers as we speak.<br />Agreed, you may have your reasons for these massive delays, but you don't even try to contact developers with those reasons.<br />You're supposed to support developers, not keep the most important information from them, information which is crucial.<br />In this now 5 week wait, I've recieved numerous App updates for the other Apps I own, including Pocket God and Real Racing, two apps which has a popularity which is high in the ranks of the Top 50 Apps in the App Store.<br />Nothing adds up, Apple, and it's about time you started answering questions or else you're going to lose your "Reputation"<br />One reputation which is already damaged, mainly because of the many flaws in your App Store.<br />Flaws which shouldn't exist in a company as respectable as yourselves.<br />Now, as a word of advice for you, Apple.<br />Another thing, I believe one of your colleagues released a notice saying that you are listening to emails and feedback from devlopers and gamers?<br />Well, read this feedback.<br />I'm not happy with the way you deal with Apps and their updates.<br />It's just as if you throw the majority of them in the trash, and even then does it take an angry developer phone call or email for you to actually explain it to them.<br />That in itself is pathetic.<br />Now I'd really appreciate some answers about this,<br />Because I have paid money for this app [Minigore] and having done so, I am entitled to somer answers.<br />Alike the many people who do email you, only to recieve a slap in the face and no emails back.<br /> <br />Yours sincerely<br /> <br />------------------<br /> <br />Proud owner of Minigore<br />And a wide variety of many more AppsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-9712549742291137392009-09-03T00:58:03.814-07:002009-09-03T00:58:03.814-07:00That spam idea is amazing ;'D

I was just wondering about it because on the mountainsheep website it said that hardgore was due to come out at the end of quarter three, and that is coming up. I really hope to see the updates for minigore approved, so you guys can get on with your lives and stop having to post reponses about things that aren't your fault.Joey H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02820682785711118062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-48874806746683560182009-09-02T11:45:43.974-07:002009-09-02T11:45:43.974-07:00I'm not saying you should necessarily fill the...I'm not saying you should necessarily fill the entire Apple inbox with Minigore. They might simply keyword-ignore the topic if they see a bulk of emails pouring in. :P However, brandtproductions above wanted to know if there is a way to reach them and the link gives you a way. You always get an automated stock answer from that address, but I'm pretty sure someone does read it every now and then.Kimmo (Mountain Sheep)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05903322230923612562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-65949088931990690742009-09-02T04:30:25.451-07:002009-09-02T04:30:25.451-07:00'fireing' away kimmo!

Minigore is pushing the limits of iPhone and it would be a problem to do what they have done. There may be a way of doing it by baking the sprites into the background texture, possibly over multiple frames. That's a matter of some R&D, though.<br /><br />Apple's approval process e-mail was put into public domain by a frustrated developer who's update is late as well: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=23516<br /><br />Fire away! :)<br /><br />Hut's been brought up a few times. It's a cool idea and perhaps we could do something with it. While we don't have plans for putting money into the game, we are going to have achievements in Minigore so you need to earn the new playable characters.<br /><br />We did contact Apple and they are trying to sort it out.<br /><br />The OpenFeint version we put in Episode 2 makes the online experience, including chat rooms, more reliable. What you've been experiencing is definitely a bug.<br /><br />I still like to think a long approval time is an anomaly and that the next one will get through in a speedy manner. We are not far away from finishing Episode 3, so what we might do is merge Episodes 2 and 3. The co-op update is a big one on its own and it will most likely not be merged with other updates.Kimmo (Mountain Sheep)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05903322230923612562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-55769895523764971502009-09-01T15:33:56.074-07:002009-09-01T15:33:56.074-07:00yah thats a good idea add co-op to episode 3yah thats a good idea add co-op to episode 3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-5520259666146355622009-09-01T14:06:32.532-07:002009-09-01T14:06:32.532-07:00You guys should just sit on episode 3 until co-op ...You guys should just sit on episode 3 until co-op is ready then submit so we dont have to go through this mess two more times before the best updateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398772863088159428.post-28973448410436478962009-09-01T09:42:18.200-07:002009-09-01T09:42:18.200-07:00hey :)

Have u guys thought of a hut for John to go In to buy weapons? It would be so much fun to earn weapons rather then just finding them. Every time u kill a furrry u get gold or something to make the gamer feel like we are working up to something. A place to buy,health,weapons,clovers,latte,whatever it's endless possibilities. I think too having something like redbull that makes John grow gradually, every redbull he gets a little bigger unless he gets hit then he goes back to regular size. AnywY regardless of what u do it will be amazing!!!
