"We used to have a series of 6 1024x1024 texture atlases that contained all the graphics from the game, all mixed together in no particular order. I reorganized it so we have 4 main 1024x1024 atlases, 2 compressed, 2 16bit. Then assigned each island its own 512x512 atlas which I swap out when we load a new location. At first I wasn't sure how noticeable the load would be but it turns out that it only takes about a tenth of a second on a slow device to load it into memory."
What is he talking about? A whole lotta headache!

Dave probably wouldn't approve, but I want to point out how much ass-busting he did to make this next update happen. We were up against a wall and he had to tear things apart and reprogram a bunch of stuff to make this update happen in time. So, for all the people that want to pit us against other apps they happen to like, 29 versions in, with tons of intertwining interactivity, I don't know anyone else who could have pulled this off. Thanks Dave!
Haha sooo confusing!!
ReplyDeleteI have a question,do you need the new I-Pod Touch update to update the Pocket God game? :-/
ReplyDeletePlease reply bolt creative...
ReplyDeletei might have said this earlier, but you could make a lite version with a few episode content in the pocket god lite version or free version, and pocket god will skyrocket in the top paid charts in the app store. And people would try this awesome game and buy the full version and you'll get alot of sales on the app.
please reply, thanks! and a great thanks to Dave on putting the next update a whole lot of content and work to pocket god, the best app in the app store!
thanks Dave!
P.S. i love the icon image for the big chill!! cant wait for it!
You know, you should take a break. You work too hard. No other app I know puts in THIS much effort. Take a break! ESPECIALLY with your 1 year anniversary coming.
ReplyDeleteHey, are you guys ever gonna do an update with the red star like you promised a while back.
ReplyDelete(just a sujestion: make tapping the red star twice trigger the appoclapse as kinda a tribute to 2012)
Wow 2 posts in one day that's unherd off!!! That was a nice surprise! :)
ReplyDeleteThis update looks amazing, but it concerns me slightly that you put so much in it, and did it very quickly. this update will either put Pocket God back into the top 25 or higher or kill it with an unforeseen crash...not to be a pessimist or anything. My money is on success though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting us in the loop. It's been hard to wait for news (and the Pyg Chill), but I have a feeling the update will be great! The igloo sounds a little complicated, but I'm sure it's simpler than Dave said.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you gonna put penguins in the ice island?
I love this app and i hope that the next project ya'll are working on is as great as Pocket God. I can wait for the update to come out but please please don't let the blog go. I always check even if i no ya'll haven't update it yet. i hate it when it goes for days without any new news.
ReplyDeleteThanks
P.S. when do you think that the next part of the trilogy will come out (January or february).
Check out my blog!
ReplyDeleteDAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE lol the update sounds like the coolest yet and i could tell by the time it took for dave and u to make this update happen so thank you guys and if you are another game tell us so we buy the right app UN like eyecrap..eyedip and cant wait for the update
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Allan I've been waiting for a detailed update explanation and I think you should include all the new dlc option screenshots on the state of the island and also I have a good idea you could add a bush on all the islands and when you tap that bush a snake comes out and when it bites a Pygmy it turns blue from not breathing and then he falls over and the only way you can get rid of the snake is by dropping a Pygmy on top of him. That would be a great addition to pocket god. Keep up the good work guys.
ReplyDeletewhen is the update supposed to come out?
ReplyDeleteSean i think that they were planning on doing this update, but they had to get the halloween + christmas updates out of the way first
ReplyDeleteEdd you need the 3.0 update for most apps now, and you should stop delaying updating your ipod software
Can't wait for the next update :D Also, please please please add penguins! :D
ReplyDeletePYG CHILL IS OUT
ReplyDeletecan you create some more minigames like in episodes 22 and 23 i think a god one would be to do it with rolando and the pygmy would turn into balls nd yo have to see how far you could rool them without losing a pygmy and dave and allan can you lke ell apple to review your updates first cuz your one of the only games that update often
ReplyDeletenice posting. very good work. thank you. :)

Hey guys, how about when you make the temp change, the pygmies could stick their tongues out to swallow snow flakes, and some would shiver or turn blue? That would be sweet :D
