Dave reports in about the upcoming update "Stop! My App is On Fire!"....
>> Read Dave's Touch Arcade Post Here <<
Looks like we're drifting down again! For a millisecond I thought we might drift into number two again. Bur really, I can't even believe we're still in the top ten! Hopefully the next few updates keep sales coming. Its a secret, but we have a really great idea for the update after the one we're working on now. It is unfortunate timing our cleanup update landed right on the iPhone release, or it might have worked out differently. Can't complain though. Pocket God has sold over 1.1 million copies. I do predict that the Family Guy app will reach number one and stay there a while!
just wanted to say that the guy that said "the app will get permenentally damaged by the glitches" is completely wrong (from the last thread, just wanted to put it here so he might read it) and there are more than just that one glitch guide, so check 'em out! :D
ReplyDelete"Flipping the Bird..." Allan/Dave, I know what "secret" you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteYay I can't wait for the new update it sounds sick!!!
ReplyDeleteI read Dave's report on the next update and app I can say is, I LOVE WHAT I HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything sounds like it will make Pocket God a whole lot more popular. I am very surprised and appauled to hear that Pocket God is going down in the ratings. This update will surely fix that though. Good luck!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeletePS: I am DIEING to know what the red dot in the night sky is!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me it is a new easter egg!!!!!!!!!! That would be sooooooo cool!!!!!!!!! :)
oh the red star! hahaha. i wish it had more significance, but in some of the animation optimization, Dave asked me to redo the night sky. I wanted to fill it with stars, but for now, its too processor intensive, so I satiated my creativity by tinting a few stars. But its actually supposed to be mars :) maybe some visitors will come one day when you tap on it! who knows?
ReplyDeletekykykyle...i was actually referring to the update planned AFTER Flipping the Bird...but again, its a secret :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the update has to do with like anger or revenge because flipping the bird is a saying for giving someone the middle finger for example , flicking someone off. Just chucking an idea out there. Your awesome Allan and Dave got this app at update number 6 and have been following since. Pure AWESOMENESS. You guys rule. P.S. Love the red star.
ReplyDeleteI've already put this idea in a previous post, but i guess i'll never get a response unless i keep trying.
ReplyDeleteIf you made a small bird about the size of the coconut, and had him flying over the island. If you tap him, he'll poop (try and aim for an islander for an achievement or something) and drag him over the bonfire and it's cooked like a turkey and the pygmies eat it. Also if you drag the bird down onto a pygmie, it'll peck at them and chase them off the island into the water.
Also, as a favor to me, and because its kinda funny, can you make the t-rex dance with the pygmies?
Please respond!!!
Oh, WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!! Not only am I excited about the possibility of the red star bringing visitors(wink wink ;)), but I am REALLY EXCITED that you guys finally replied to one of my comments!!!!!!!! I am so happy!!!! I feel so honored. And I'm NOT joking. That was smart of you guys to make it mars. I really didn't think of that. It clears a lot up in my little book of questions about life that I keep stashed away in my head. Next on the list: Why do both my brother and dad fart so much? Ha Ha!!!! :D Anyway, thanks so much guys. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I was kind of wandering if the picture posted on this post was the icon for the next update. Is it?
PPS: You don't have to answer this, but, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS FLIPPING THE BIRD?!?!?! I think it might be a riddle or just another clue but I have no idea!!!!!! I guess I will just have to wait and find out. Or will I? ;)
I hate apple for taking so long.
ReplyDeleteThe new update sounds awesome!
U guys have been on the top ten on iTunes for a couple months now right? You probably have the longest running app to stay in the top ten. But it was a good reign. I heard somewhere that this update will include the changing temperatures hint that u gave on the iTunes description, there was nothing written about it, but will it be included?
I don't wanna seem super nosy but dude, could you release this app on the palm pre. They have an app store, it looks like an awesome game i just wanna be able to play it.
ReplyDeleteI can use itunes too but it's not compatible with the palm pre yet.
Could you make this app available on the palm pre?
ReplyDeleteHey Dave and Allan,
ReplyDeleteStarted a NEW blog, your in my second post about the iPhone and iPod Touch official app awards I am doing on my you tube channel (th3appstorereviewer) here is the link to the blog:
http://iphoneanditouchappawards.blogspot.com/send everyone over PLEASE. It helps support YOUR app by getting YOU votes.
Thanks
th3appstorereviewer
is ittrue bout pocketgod 2 ?
ReplyDeleteokay this would be awesome : you make a bigger island ( maybe have more islanders) and then you can hit a button in the options bar and zoom in/out
ReplyDeletecant wait 4 the update
Big Shark
ReplyDeleteKnow that you 2 have more time... (don´t you think so?)You 2 could make the biggest update on the PG history.. why not? it could be 2 or 3 more forms of sacrifice and more achievements and forms of feed them...
PG needs a big update
you could put more things on the ocean place because there is not to many things to do there!
I think temperature will be really awesome and the aliens, know that everybody is talking about the red little star in the night...
the ice age would be really cool know with the bonfire!
you could put some birds that pass through the island and they make poop in a pygmie
Thanks for hearing my ideas!
I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!!!!
Greetings for you 2 ALLAN and DAVE, have a nice vacation!!!
bye
thanks again for replying to my comment. I really apreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteBolt Creative: I have an idea for an update: change the moon to full moon and then call a wolf who bites a pygmy and turns it in a weatherwolf at night!~!!!! and than if you call the vampire and weatherwolf at the same time they will fight!!!Bolt Creative: I have an idea for an update: change the moon to full moon and then call a wolf who bites a pygmy and turns it in a weatherwolf at night!~!!!! and than if you call the vampire and weatherwolf at the same time they will fight!!!
ReplyDeleteHi guys I'm new so just tell me what you think. I have an idea for a new update . Here it goes : on the first island you can now choose a totem pole that drops from the sky like everything else ( update name: dancing all night long). Nothing happens until you make th pygmies dance. Up to 4 of the star to dance around it while th others watch . Depending on what time of day ( nigh, day, sunset/rise) a different thing happens . Something like in day the clouds split and gods hand grabs them thaking them to heavan ( update name : gods touch) at night a UFO could bring one up in a beam slowly while the others try to save him by throughing the spear ( name: visitors from afar) at sun set/ rise there could be heavy rain drowning them ( name: April showers). It's just an idea so tell me what you think.
ReplyDeletePocketPlayer64.....great idea about the bird!!!! i think you might be pleasantly suprised in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to post this in the main, but I want to communicate this to the people checking in on the comments. My mom ended up in the hospital over the weekend and I am really side-tracked. I'm getting Dave update stuff, but its putting a kink in our schedule. I'll try to update the blog, but this week might be a little slow.
I'm really sorry about your mom I hope she gets better really soon. Good luck with whatever it is. :)
ReplyDeleteyour Twitter acount said "Stop! My app is on fire!" was aproved, but I dont see it on the app store.When will it get aproved?
ReplyDeleteMaybe to make the tempeture rise you could double tap the fire. Or you could drag the fire to the sky. My friend and I thought it would be really cool if you could change a Pygmy by smashing a test tube into him and then it would bring you to a custumization screen. Maybe to cool down you could double tap and hold and then fling your finger like you do when you change the weather. Except when you DOUBLE tap and hold it makes it cooler.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! sam's idea is AWESOME!!! Bolt Creative, you should REALLY concider using his ideas!:D I was amazed to the max when I saw the ideas:) please take at least one of his ideas!
ReplyDeletei also have an idea for the underwater world (because you don't have much to do there) if you swirl TWO fingers around, the pygmies will get caught in the stream:D It's probably hard to make though... but, I would love it if you took it to concideration
Is the Pocket God update out? I don't see it on my Ipod's app store. The way Jacob was talking about the fire makes me think that the update did come out so I am worried.
ReplyDeleteHey Bolt Creative,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you'll even see or respond to this second post but thanks for the compliment on my ideas for the bird, and i was recently playing Pocket God when i noticed 3 things i would like to extend upon my idea.
1. I've always pictured the bird being a seagull because it matches the island theme, but a better idea would be a Pelican, because i'm afraid that the seagull would be too hard to see against the daytime sky in the background and a pelican would be seen easily because of its large yellow bill. Of course this would mean it must be larger than just a coconut in size.
2. If you do decide to go with the pelican, then you could make it eat the pygmies which is a more exciting sacrifice than pecking into the water. I'm not sure what you would do to activate the pelican eating them, but it shouldn't happen automatically.
3. I think that during storms the pelican should turn to dust and feathers when it is hit by lightning, and be sucked into the hurricane along with the pygmies.
4. You dont need to add this but i have noticed that Pocket God's memory size is getting a lot larger, and that a possible reason as to why the updates are taking so long is because the size of Pocket God's memory is almost as large as Zenonia's!!!
I understand that what i am asking for is a lot, and you won't be able to do everything i ask of you but please consider the extra functionalities i just mentioned along with my previous post.
Also, if you see this message then PLEASE RESPOND TO IT, because i would like to know what you're opinions are and whether or not you think that this is possible for one update.
I have an idea on how make the temperature change so that you don't have to add new things just add graffics. So here I go. To make it colder you could make an eclipse when you have the storm cloud out and a bunch of snow could fall on the Oogmies so that you could just see their eyes blinking out of the snow. Or they could look like snowmen. Either way. Then to melt the snow, just get rid of the storm cloud. Maybe you could throw one Oogmie at another and they could both break out of their 'snowsuits' ha ha!!! And to make it hotter, you could hold the giant magnifying glass up to the sun. And when the temperature would go up, the sand could turn red and the Oogmies could start dancing around like crazy because it would be so hot. So that is my idea. I hope you guys can answer me on this one. :) And I also hope Allan's mom is okay. :)
ReplyDeletePS: About sam's idea comments. I have a few things to say. Number one, it is a were-wolf not a 'wheatherwolf'. Number two, I think there are enough monster movie madness possibilities in the game already. Example: The vampire and T-Rex. And number three, the totem pole dancing idea could be done without the totem pole you would just have to tap to a different song or rythm for each different dance. Like for one you could do row row row your boat, and for another you could do twinkle twinkle little star. I'm saying this because I think each dance should not be limited to the time of day shown in the sky if this becomes an update. :)
Yes I am now promoting Oogmies, but so what? I like the name and think it sounds cool. It also fits the islanders very well. Could anyone that reads this spread the word? :)
ReplyDeletewho knows the secret????????? Puppy Lover #1 TELL ME PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteE-mail me @ goldencosmo9000@gmail.com if any of u know it :P
Ummm does anyone else realize that flipping the bird is pg64s idea??? Its so obvious. Ps sorry about your mom. Also aliens would be cool and you need to add more stuff to undersea.
ReplyDeleteThis update will bring up Pg back up in the Top 10, POCKET GOD IS NOT OVER
ReplyDeleteHey there Allan! It would mean so much if you visited my blog at www.ultimatetail.blogspot.com. I did a review on your app and I think you'll like it. Please visit it. Please! The review is at the month of May. Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know they are on a tropical island, but snow would be a cool feature. Have them freeze in it. Turn into popsicles. Then they could build snow man. Maybe drop snowballs on them? Think about it...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how long I have been waiting for this update to come out now. I think ever since you guys said that you sent the update in to apple. Well anyway, ever since then I have been tearing my hair out in pain every time I go to the app store and see that it is not there. My dad recently got an 16gig Ipod touch 2nd gen and has Pocket God downloaded on it. However, he says that he will not play Pocket God until the next update comes out. I really want my dad to try out Pocket God, so I really want this app to come out. Is there any way I can check up on progress or if you TRUE GODS OF POCKET GOD can have them speed it up a little? I'm really counting on you. :)
ReplyDeletePS: For all of you sceptical Pocket God fans that might read this comment, this is not a sappy story to suck up to anyone, or get attention, or get what I want by making someone cry a little. I am stating the facts of which I know to be true. So there.
hey! go to this link for ideas for future updates!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=79618338777&topic=9253
There are two SAMs!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhh I'm the one who said about the totem pole. I'm gonna change my name to sam67 so you can tell us apart. Thanks
ReplyDeleteStedsnavan I thought so too. And puppy lover #1 I supose your idea would work but I didn't want it to be to complicated. Originally i thought that maybe you could select dance move. On the stats screen and create combos that led to the different happenings. P.s. My friend says what about if you continued to shake your Iphone until the ground splits and the devils hand comes out and grabs the pygmies ( this goes well with the gods touch update I said about). p.p.s. Voice controls????
Hey PocketPlayer64 i totally agree with using a pelican not only because of your reasons but because i learned that pygmies from ancient geek mythology battled pelicans while riding on goats and they also just happened to use spears to fight (wink wink) and thats how they could fight back in pocket god if the pelican attacks them
ReplyDeleteP.S. Alien visitors would be totally shweet dood!!!!!!!
P.P.S. I hope your mom gets better Allan
Here Are A Few Ideas
ReplyDelete#1
Name: Winter Wonderland
Features: Tap storm cloud with two fingers and watch the snow and an igloo fall from the sky. Pygmies put Eskimo snow suits on. Pygmies build a snowman that, when aggravated, puts on a magic hat and turns into an evil snowman that jumps around and tries to jump on top of the pygmies. Islanders hide in the igloo by outrunning the slow jumping snowman. Snowman melts away with snow and igloo when both open sky (not stormy sky) and sun are up and showing.
#2
Name: Pygmy's Best Friend
Features: Add in cats; dogs; or cats and dogs with the menu bar. They would be small little animals, about the size of the coconuts, which play with the pygmies or each other. When it snows, the pets also wear snow suits. Dogs and cats favor certain people, the ones on the island when they first appear. Try to eat the fish or coconuts before the islanders. They also scare the bat away if they are still awake when the bat comes to bite the islanders.
#3
Name: The Other Planet
Features: An alien comes in a UFO (turn off and on in menu) when an islander is held above the clouds at the top of the screen. UFO sucks islanders up in a green beam that drops them back down as alien pygmies that act just like the normal pygmies while the dogs and cats bark at them suspiciously. There can be variations of types of alien pygmies. If an alien pygmy is dragged to the top of the screen a second time, they will become gigantic alien pygmies and start attacking the normal islanders and hit them off the island. The alien pygmies are killed like the other pygmies, and come back in their normal pygmy form, after pressing the plus button. Giant alien pygmies do not attack other alien pygmies.
Hi I'm back as sam67, I know you probably won't give a full reply but put something in your next post :)
ReplyDeleteP.S it does need aliens
P.P.S is your mum getting any better ? ;(
I can't get this strait. Is "The Quest for Fire" out yet or not?
ReplyDeleteOk seriously. Before you work on big things like aliens, maybe just maybe you should i dont know umm WORK ON THE UNDERWATER WORLD! HAVE YOU ALL FORGOT THERES ENDLESS POSSABILITIES FOR UNDERSEA LIKE PIRAHNAHS!
ReplyDeleteIt would be cool if the cheif of the islanders had a special hat or clothes or something.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anybody has said this, but i have an idea. when the shark is enabled you should be able to see it under water when you use the tsunami and be able to kill the pygmies.
ReplyDeleteUhhh, how do you kill the marshmallows besides dropping them in the water and hurricaning them
ReplyDeleteWhen you tsunami with a statue the statue stays on the island...
Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could find another way to kill the islanders when they are burnt.
Either that or im missing something >.<
