Dave posts on Touch Arcade about the Now titled "Flipping the Bird (for real this time)" update. He talks about the new resident of Isle of Oog (and Tyrannosaurus Island) but he had other things to contend with too....
"Technically, we are working on CPU optimization. The 3.0 firmware works really horribly on old phones, every now and then it just spikes the cpu and slows everything down. I think this is because of extra background threads that 3.0 uses for things like push alerts.">> Read the rest of Dave's Touch Arcade Post Here <<
I notice in the thread there is more questions about the red star in the sky. It was only intended to be a mars-like planet that got added when Dave asked me to redo some graphics for optimization....but now I think we pretty much HAVE to do an update that explains how it got there. Thinking...thinking.....
Also....whoops, the help did not get fixed for the update regarding the sky and water movement. Dave decided to remove the two fingers and made other fixes to avoid with accidental tsunmai creation. It is back to one-finger movements. The help is corrected in Flipping the Bird. Sorry about that!
The image above is by Asel, who we've given permission to create Pygmy charms for her online store! More on that later.
Ugh! So many bugs in the new update! :( the tyrannasaurus Rex egg will not work. No matter how many times you drop it, it remainsjust a normal egg. It won't crack anymore!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank goodness you're changing the two finger thing. It bugs the cooked fish out of me
that it is now one finger. Can't change the weather without a hurricane coming! Haha
please review it a couple more times before submitting next time around please!
-stevo!
Also, for some odd reason whenever you start up the app it only has the very first pigmy on the screen versus what it used to have which was it would remember who all was on screen.
ReplyDeleteHey Bolt Creative,
ReplyDeleteIn case you don't remember me I'm the guy thaat posted the idea about the bird before, and I have a new idea for you.
Since you seemed to like the idea of putting a doodle jump linking in the game... Why not make the UFO from that game appear when you press on Mars, and have it abduct all of the pygmies on the island?
I have a lot of friends who have this app, and since I gave a contributing idea to the bird... I was wondering if you could do me a solid and put the name Andrew Harris in the sand on one of the help pages like you used to do randomly a while back. If you don't it's alright, but could you at least write me back regarding my idea for the Doodle Jump Crossover?
Thanks and please respond.
I think you should make it so when you tap mars a alien comes and attacks pygmys
ReplyDeletego on pocket god on wikipedia, i'm the person that updates that!
WHOOO!!!! PG's back in the top ten!!! Anyway, this update looks awsome.
ReplyDeleteMister Stevorenodude, if you ant the dino egg to work, you might want to turn on both "Egg" and "Dinosaur" in the island menu. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteBig Shark
ReplyDeleteHi guys! how are you? Thank you for the PG update I really like it... I really want that you could make a survey of what could be the next updates... and the most chosen will be the next update and so on... I think you should make this 1 time every month.
About the Doodle Jump Idea.. I think it will be cool if they were the alien(s)
Thank you!
Have a nice vacation!
Bye!
@Stevorenodude - dude, turn the T. Rex option on and don't complain to people. God, some people really need help. Don't go and complain when you're not using a feature right.
ReplyDeletePocketplayer64 you go to my school. Also stevorendude you have trex turned off in the idle jands menu. Just turn it on. Awesome update btw. Love cooking my parents in the bonfire. Also no zombies that would put you out of the top 100. But aliens would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone notice that at night on either island, on the left side, there is a mysterious red dot in the sky?? What up with that?? Also PocketPlayer64's idea with the UFO is awesome make an update with that. Bolt Creative please respond!! :)
ReplyDeleteOK. There are still some key elements that i think the app will not be able to survive without. First of all, it needs some immortal pygmie in it that could represent you which would have all sorts of powers and can't be harmed. Second, it needs to have some way that you can control the pygmies such as mind control. But if you add the first idea you don't need mind control. Third, it needs a custimization of pygmies. At the very least, a girl pygmie. Fourth, It needs a way to bring the pygmies to heaven. It would be a great new island. But I really think that you need to add a God-Supporting Pygmie that is immortal. He/She should have all sorts of powers which you could add later on. And finally, you should DEFINITELY make a way to put the firewood in the fireplace on your own. Without the help of a pygmie. Or, be able to assign them and tell them to pick up the firewood so you don't have to wait for them to get close to it and then Finally pick it up.
ReplyDeleteis it just mr or is the new update really laggy
ReplyDeleteHey Bolt i just wanted you to know that i started a new blog and made a top ten app list, guess who made number one?
ReplyDeletehttp://techgamesguy.blogspot.com/
booya... pocket god is now back in the top 10! oh and is there an email i can send bolt creative cuz i made a video of some good ideas?
ReplyDeleteHey Bolt can you please respond and post this comment because i wrote it last time and it was not posted. Here is an idea for an alien update for the red star thing. The episode should be called "One small step for Oogs, and One giant leap for pygmies" First you press on Mars 3 times and then a saucer comes from mars and either aliens come out and fight the pygmies or they abduct the pygmies and either the new place is the space ship or mars. If it is mars then the aliens can get off with the pygmies and still fight them or it could be like the underwater area. The pygmies can float in air (gravity) and there could be a couple of dangers like an alien monster and a black whole where the pygmies get sucked in. I think this would be an awesome update so PLEASE CONSIDER OR AT LEAST REPLY EITHER HERE OR MY EMAIL WHICH IS aheroislost@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI found a glitch, if you make someone too close to the bonfire then click on feint, your iPod touch/iPhone will restart and ALL of your data will be deleted! :(
ReplyDelete@ Stevor, for the egg u now hav to turn it on in the displays page.
ReplyDeleteI read the whole thread and cant wait for the updates to the water realm. I love the ocean so when i heard yall were creating a new water place i got excited but when it came out it was plain. Im really glad new start is starting to show up down there. Maybe for the future add an octopus because it matches the Pocket God Idle, and the harpoon shooting thing. Like u tap something and it comes in like the T-Rex and eats the pygmies or takes them away
Love the update! I have an idea for the next one. There could be a secret like somewhere in the help section where you could go to secret "islands." You could go to like doodle jump flatfirms with flying enemies or a map from the creeps! Just an idea. BTW I just checked the app store top 25 and pocket god is #9! w00t
ReplyDeleteLove the update! For another update you could add a secret like in the help section where u could go to secret maps like doodle jump or the creeps! Btw I checked the top 25 in the app store and pocket god is #9!
ReplyDeleteThe newest update is cool! But i have to admit that... Well the old island has become boring to play at. Maybe a little more detail and more things to do on that island. Maybe you should make it to where you're able to switch the coconut tree with a banana tree, and have maybe 5 bunches of bananas. Then if you pick them all off fast enough and feed them to the pygmies then a monkey comes out and attacks? Just a piece of my mind. The games is great altogether! Good luck with the updates and have a cool vactation!
ReplyDeleteIf you have the game stickwars (or any other game with open feint, I only know that stickwars works) and you log into open feint with your pocket god user you can see that the devs have lined up personal achievements for us to accomplish, (bowl pygmies, bounce coconuts, spear pygmies ect.)
ReplyDeleteI really wonder why so many people say so often "how" and "don't work" and "what to do?". Ok, I was one of the people that don't understand " to close to fire" (because i always tapped on the wood :P) so i don't want to be that hard
ReplyDeleteStevorenodude:you have to activate the T-Rex in the Menu. On the second Island are many options and you have to tap on the Egg to get the egg and tap on the T-Rex so the Egg cracks
Oogmie
PS:Thanks to put my "hurricane in water" idea in the next update :)
wats the update after flipping the bird
ReplyDeleteHEY POCKETPLAYER64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS MY IDEA!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN POSTING COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ALIEN ABDUCTION IDEA SINCE I FIRST FOUND OUT THAT THE GODS OF POCKET GOD HAD A BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET CREDIT FOR THIS, THEN YOU ARE WAY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THEM AND STEAL SOMETHING THAT IS SOMEONE ELSE'S AS A RESULT!!!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT BY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
ReplyDeleteHey gods of Pocket God. I wanted to ask you, is Mars going to come in after the flipping the bird update? Thanks. PS: I love Stop! My App is on Fire! and I can't wait for flipping the bird. PPS: What does that even mean? "flipping the bird" :)
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I noticed Pocket God is back in the top ten its #8! And I agree with dog lover I like stop! My App is on Fire! and what does "flipping the bird" mean?
ReplyDeletejust thinking that the next update in the sky could be to do with the mars
ReplyDeletealso i think you could have a mini game which gets you coins which the pygmys could spen on improving the islands but pirates could come for a fight to try to take the money
Ummm... Magman1996, I don't go to your school... I'm in Texas and I'm not in Middle School anyways...
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry Puppy Lover #1, I didn't know anyone else had posted an alien idea like that.. But that's not the update I wanted a little credit for.
If you look way back in the "State of the Island: Quest for Fire" you'll see that I helped give them the idea for the bird's functionality. Pretty much everything on my bird wishlist was granted... except for it being a pelican... Oh well, but anyways yeah I'm sorry if I made you angry Puppy Lover, it was just a misunderstanding.
Lastly, Bolt Creative, you don't have to give me any credit if you don't want to... I'm just happy that I helped make a difference. :) Have a good vacation!
I think that this is a great idea, also, i am in favor for aliens having to do with the red star. The fire update rocks and this is sure to also rock. I hear there is going to be an elephant in one of the next updates, if that is the case, then i am psyched!
ReplyDeleteWow amazing update!
ReplyDeleteI have an idea along the lines of the other ones of a pygmy with powers (like the omen but not evil) and to puppy lover i seriously doubt you actually had that idea before him many have been following this blog from the beginning and that was one of the first suggestions (even though there was no "red planet"
Hey pocket player 64. Please shrink ur big head and listen. Tons of ppl have contributed to the bird idea not just you. So if they put YOUR name in the sand, they have to put EVERYONES name in the sand. Big headed ppl like u make me sick.
ReplyDeletedunno if you got it from me, but i posted a suggestion a while ago, where i ask if you could add streams in the underwater-world. i was a bit happy when i saw you were using it in the next update:D let me know if it was from me you got it from, because i dont want to read all those comments that was from a two week old post...
ReplyDeletenow i have another idea, when you have burned the pygmies, you should be able to ''un''burn them by striking them with lightning!
Hello! Fun update with Ep. 21 -- thank you. My 6-year-old and I were brainstorming about that meteor. How about if you can throw it into the volcano, and it summons an alien? The islanders could have a ray gun option to battle it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that vampire seems underutilized. Not sure if we have any specific suggestions yet. Thanks!
Um, Puppy Lover, it is possible for other people to have the same idea as you, regardless of who thought of it first. You can't own an idea.
ReplyDeleteMmm... can't wait for this update...
I also have a new idea. Egg + fire = giant delicious dinosaur omelet! If somebody thought of this already, good for you. If I'm the first, woohoo! And another thing... you guys said the octopus statue would be important later, perhaps an octopus will show up underwater? Eh? Pygmies could fight it similarly to the tyrannosaur...
That alien idea rocks! Go everyone who thought of it!
Puppy Lover calm down, seriously.
ReplyDeleteLOTS of people have had that idea so you don't have to complain that they took "your" idea.
P.S. When did you think about that idea?
Specifically to cleeh, mason, walter, and well, everyone else. I thought of the idea back before there was even a vampire in Pocket God when I saw that the bat came from the moon I thought of aliens. Although I thought of it so soon I had no idea that there was a Pocket God Blog until my friend told me about it like months later. So I checked out all of the posts and comments to see what other people around the world thought of Pocket God and saw that you could share your ideas. It was then that I decided to tell about my idea since no one had voiced it in comments. Therefore, I took it on as my own and decided to bring it up whenever possible in comment sessions in every post I thought could relate to updates and so on. (not fan videos or fan art) I did, have and will until there is either no me or no Pocket God check their blog whenever I can for comments back about my ideas and thoughts. Imagine the gratitude and happiness that I felt when I was commented back by one of the creators of Pocket God about my idea. I have thought of it as my own because no one else took credit or thought of anything to do with it. People were commenting about other things like boats, octopuses, fire, vampires, where-wolves, and so on. If you think about it, I would consider it my alien idea legacy. I just over reacted when someone else, PocketPlayer64 to be specific, came in on that 'legacy'. (if you don't like the way I worded it I'm sorry if I'm making it seem like such a huge thing, but it is huge) I'm sorry for the way I came off on PocketPlayer64. I apologize to Dave and Allan (The true Gods of Pocket God), PocketPlayer64, all fans of Pocket God, and anyone else I may have hurt in my mad exclamations. This just really means a lot to me. It has from the time I thought of the idea, even more when I was recognized by A God of Pocket God, and even more when I found out that the red dot in the sky was the beginning of what could be my idea. I was and am overcome with happiness for making a change in the world of Pocket God. I know that people are skeptical of my actions as of writing this comment and sharing my feelings and facts about how I came up with aliens for Pocket God, and about how cheesy this may sound to many of you, if not all of you. I just ask that you try to believe me if you can. I want to say again that I am deeply sorry PocketPlayer64 for my angry remarks. Thank you PocketPlayer64 for your apology in the comments section of that one post. I also wanted to say that I have made a post on my blog that you can all look at and reveil anything that you want to say to me that you would not like any other Pocket God fans to hear. Just click on PUPPYLOVER#1 above this comment. Thank you all for reading this and listening.
ReplyDeleteNew update is pretty cool. I wasn't very impressed with the whirlpool or the school of fish. Please put the shark and edible fish down there, I think the underwater area, despite the improvements, is pretty stark. For the whirlpool, maybe it could be vertical, so that a funnel from above appears and they swirl around more like a hurricane. I've heard a lot of great underwater sacrifice ideas, and I hope you can find time for them.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea for an update: there would be a machine and when an oog walks up to it they would take a marshmellow that comes out of a chute and take a stick and roast the marshmellow on the fire. The ep woulld be called "Marsh my mellow"
ReplyDeleteroryo, I like your thinking, but instead of a machine, why not just have the marshmallow just fall from the sky like everything else?
