Overdue! Twitter Yer Picture Contest Entries

Okay, let's move on to something less touchy and more interesting! In our scramble to stay on top of the increasingly complex world of PG, I never got a chance to upload all the contest entries to Flickr. For some reason my computer doesn't like the uploading mechanism, but tonight I took a crack at it and it seems it got all the way through the list!

I was also hesitant because I just know it is going to create controversy and criticism, but then again, why should this be any different than anything else?

I tried to eliminate duplicates, or overly dark photos, but probably missed some offending ones. The list may evolve as we deem some to be redundant or hard to make out. It is also possible that Flickr didn't upload some. It's a little touchy.

To remind everyone, the objective was to send a creative photo of the person with Pocket God on their iPod (or iPhone). The winners were FernyTheBomb, Dylan Johnson and MalcomJudd (see their entries here) Some were good, some were great, some were downright WEIRD, and many others had us scratching our heads. Dave and I whittled down our favorites and focused on the favorites we had in common. There were some I felt really bad eliminating because I liked them so much, but we couldn't give EVERYONE the prize!

There....hopefully that helps everyone see we didn't take the contest lightly! So, thanks to everyone for sending....some people put a huge amount of effort into their photos. Check 'em out. They're awesome!



Or CLICK HERE to view them on the site.

P.S. About the last post....Yes we know Pee-Devil was a juvenile joke (and was a vague reference to P-Diddy, but sillier). We were only kidding.

P.P.S. Later this weekend, I'll drop some info about our next update!

  1. HaHA! Even with a new update out (and a slight rise in customer rating), Pocket Devil continues to drop >:D PG and PD are now only about 10 ranks apart!

  3. I love wat ya'll are doing. (PD is a copycat)
    In ya'lls next update if ya'll could make the weather availble for all the islands that would be very popular and "cool." (haha)
    And maybe you could make the skin pack where we could use it for X-mas and for the rest of winter. (like the pumpkins- we used them for Halloween and on until Thanksgiving)
    THANKS FOR ALL THAT YA'LL DO!!!!!!!!
    This app is a blast to play and i hope ya'll keep updating!

    P.S. I would buy a PG sequel in a heartbeat.

  4. Hi so since apple is going to take ages to put through your latest update because of christmas etc does that mean you will start making update number 30 now (or have you or started it....?) and i think it would be cool if you did a double update liuke what you did earlier in the pocket god saga

  5. iPodTouchFanboy --- is that your twitter handle or something else. I'll check into it. If it was posted correctly on twitter then I am sure it was in the contest selection, and more likely something went wrong in the process of getting it into Flickr (flickr's upload is touchy and I sorted through the pics and deleted duplicates...i might have made a mistake)

  7. Hey Bolt, great news! Pocket God is three ranks above pee-devil. PG is 32, PeeD is 35. Haha, Pocket God has won!

  8. also i'd just like to say i LOVED "stop my app is on fire!" because i really liked how you had to connect different options (logs with lightning with fish slash pygmy) and that you had to think a little bit before you mindlessly kill everyone ;) Hopefully this will happen heaps because i think that is one of the hugest differences between pg and pd (apart from the obviouss copy pd was) which is that in PD all that happens is there are only six or so different ways to kill everyone where as pocket god connects features together to finish off with the best app in the appstore

  9. Hey Bolt guess what? You're beating Pocket Devil! Pocket God is number 38 in the top 25 (you can see the top 50, however) and Pocket Devil isn't even on there anymore! You guys are still in the top 50 after 28 episodes, and eyecrap-ahem! Eyedip is out after their first update. I knew you guys were better than them! Anyways, if there is a skin pack, I won't be able to buy it because I only have 9 cents in my iTunes account. As soon as I get more money, though, I will buy the skin pack. I bet it will probably awesomer than the last pack.

  23. Overdue! Blog updating.....
    Hi bolt creative I have been a fan of Pocket God for quite a while now and I check the blog most days but I can't help but get the feeling that Pocket God is slowing down. I meen that the blog isn't updated nearly as much as it used to be, since pocket devil has been released and you've slipped off the leader boards. Of corse I could be entirely wrong in saying this and you could be just tied with things like Christmas. I was just woundering is this the case?

  24. I just had a good idea for a minor update. Ever played Interactive buddy? You can hurt the guy, most things make him upset, but somethings make him happy. Well you could do a similar thing like a "happiness bar". If the bar is full, it means the pygmies are very happy and they basically worship you, this happens when you only do good things for the pygmies. But if the bar goes really low, the pygmies get very angry and revolt against you. They pick up spears and throw them at you(toward the screen) and the a cracked screen image pops up and a message saying "Oh no! The pygmies have overthrown you. Click here to restart" or something like that.
