Hey guys! I have to update the reason for our current delay. There are several business issues that have culminated at once...PLUS we have a feature phone version of Pocket God (for Verizon Phones) that we are working on getting debugged!
Its causing me anxiety because I know its going to be a great update....but we just need good block of time to finish it up.
The awesome illustration above is by Ricardo Gimenes, on his blog "Behind the Website". He's an illustrator after my own heart! Go check it out!
Well, Dave is mid-vacation and news is slow, so I thought I'd go ahead and give a sneak peak of the next update. How does the title go with the scene? I'm sure people can guess!
Along with the free update, there will also be a new custom pack. Stay tuned!
Dave and I dropped by Wondercon (the San Francisco Comicon) to hang out with David Hedgecock of Ape Entertainment, and he even set up an impromptu signing...and I fully expected that nobody would come up to us. But we ended up having lots of people coming up and saying "you guys did Pocket God?"...although many were aspiring app-developers, there were normal kids and adults too. We signed as many posters as people would take. We even signed the back of a kid's iPod! It was really fun. We even had people who knew the "Summer Squash" keyword and we immediately gave them a Pygmy figure. I also had my spanking new iPad (so cool) and we brought up Pocket God on it and was surprised how cool it looks blown up twice the size! Dave Hedgecock put it up as part of our display and it worked well in getting people's attention.
So we have already planned to attend San Diego Comicon, partly for fun, but also to hang with the Ape guys again and promote the Pocket God comic. By that time, the actual comic should have been produced and possibly new toys.
In the mean time, Dave and I working to finish the next update before he goes on vacation. Back to work!
Ape's Booth Display and they made a Pocket God Banner!

Free posters! Get your free posters! We mean it! Take 'em!
Dave sidetracked by iPad. Come on, Dave, pay attention.
Sorry I'm not in the pictures. That happens on vacation also, the camera-holder-syndrome. Tons of pictures in an exotic location, and it doesn't even appear I was there.
Oh, and one more thing...regarding the iPad... If you are wondering if Pocket God is fun on it..check this video out!
Someone likes fish-slapping!
P.S. Apple is sitting on our update, we know. It probably has to do with the iPad flurry. Thanks for your patience!
Waiting for the latest update to go through, we've decided to release the first teaser glimpse of one of our upcoming projects. Further details forthcoming...
