Hey guys! Remember that teaser image we put up a while ago.... well, finally, we're unveiling the next Pocket God project, "Journey To Uranus", coming this Fall to the iPad! It won't be a remake of Pocket God or even "Pocket God II", but Pocket-God spinoff set of mini-games centered around being able to take Pygmies to other worlds. All the interactivity will focus on the strengths of the iPad, namely the bigger size, the extra screen real estate and multi-touch.

This doesn't mean we are stopping Pocket God "proper". We have recruited the programming team (Paul Pridham and Elias Pschernig) to help us out while we still work on PG updates. We are already working on the next update as part of our primate theme. And the current update "A Pygmy A Day Keeps the Ape Away" is ready to go...We just have to wait a bit for the comic to be reviewed so we can time both to come out at the same time! As usual, sorry for the wait!
Cool! I can't wait! :D
ReplyDeleteOne thing - even though it's not a remake, will we still be able to use it sort-of like a Pocket God HD version? I want to be able to mess with pygmies on an island with a shark in HD. However it's going to work, I can't wait for it to come out! Journey to URANUS FTW!
(hehe uranus)
Kudos on the CNN article...came across it right before I saw this post. Awesome, guys! Look forward to seeing the iPad app when it arrives (though, to be honest, PocketGod on the iPad looks great on its own!).

ReplyDeleteJust wondering,Have you guys decided on the price you will charge for Pocket God: Journey to Uranus?
I'm not sure if I want an iPad. You might lose a MASSIVE install base with making it iPad exclusive. It's a shame.
ReplyDeletewill it be avalible on the ipod/iphone
ReplyDeletePlease put it on the iphone, many of your fans dont have ipads :(
ReplyDeleteWhy do you HAVE to wait until the comic is released?! And can you at least post a S.O.T.I. about the update or something? And please please please submit the update!
ReplyDeleteSo this will not be avable for the iPod bummer are u goin to do a version for the ipod
ReplyDeletecan u tell us more
ReplyDeletehow bout give us a screenshot?
Must you wait until the comic is released to update the app? I understand you want to make a big release, but it will probably be off a little anyway because of how long apple takes to approve things.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note, I still think you should do a Zombieville crossover and have the zombieville guy shoot the zombies on the zombie island.
is it only for ipad, not itouch?
ReplyDeleteAll questions answered....well I need to know how I can get the skin packs loaded back onto my iPod touch. the app store allowed me to download and install Pocket God. So far I have only redownloaded 1 or 2 of the skin packs because I am being charged again for them.
ReplyDeleteSo How Can I Re-download and Install the Skin Packs??
Thanks Much!

Is this gonna slow updates for the iPhone version even more??
ReplyDeleteNooo!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it only for the iPad? Can you please make an iPod/iPhone version?
No it needs to be iPad exclusive because pocket god is for iPhone and JTU is for iPad
ReplyDelete(JTU - Journey to Uranus)
Another request here for an iPhone version - there are so many ways to handle the extra features the iPad offers. Please don't let your loyal fanbase down - it works both ways.
ReplyDeleteSurely an iPhone port could ONLY be a good thing.
I'd like to take my Journey to Uranus ON THE GO. :P That sounds rude.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds AWESOME!!!!!!! I'm now about a million times happier I got an iPad.
ReplyDeletewill it work on i phone 4 with its retina display and multi touch.
ReplyDeleteI love pocket god please don't send it to the iPad (which might as well be ur actual anus)
ReplyDeleteNot for iphone and iPod touch? Dave please tell it is for iPhone and itouch because I don't want to by $500 for 1 game.
ReplyDeleteStop asking if there is an iPhone version because there isn't this is an iPad exclusive and Hey! You already have the iPhone exclusive game so no this is just for iPad and I can't wait.
ReplyDeletePlease don't make it iPad-exclusive, many people don't have them! Like me, for instance!
ReplyDeleteNo offense but you really need to worry about the updates instead of the newer game. Its gone from once a week to once a month to obe every 2 months and going slower. The updates also need more torture instead of dumb minigames that are only fun the first time theyre played.
ReplyDeleteAmazing blog! We at THE TERRORLAND (http://theterrorland.blogspot.com) are gonna follow you. Be blessed.
ReplyDeleteI want that comic! Looks so funny and cool! Uranus sounds funny, although nerdy-me must come out: it's pronounced Ur-an-us, not Ur-ān-us.
ReplyDeleteI'd still by it! A pygmy in a spacesuit would be hilarious!
~My iPod touch
Another call for an iPhone version here!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have to lose from doing so? As you may see, there is plenty to gain...
It's really too bad that you are releasing Journey to Uranus only for the iPad. Just don't forget how you got to where you are, from the iPhone and iPod touch users who love the original Pocket God!
ReplyDeleteAlright you guys are killing this game, u went from being on top of this game all the time to taking over 2 monthes for an update. Don't expect much either it's going to be another small update anyways. Good work hope your doing well with your comic books, plush dolls and verizon phones, glad to see you appreciate the people who helped u grow!
ReplyDeletehow can you say the updates will come slower? they already come once every 3 months or so!
ReplyDeleteJust had the idea of sending an update out before this one that goes with the comic that has somin to do with time control so episode like 34 before 33 or do it later on
ReplyDeleteYou guys should add the smoke monster from lost to the jungle island. That would be amazing to be in control of the smoke monster
ReplyDeleteAlost a month and two weeks now... Ill just have to stop waiting...
ReplyDeleteAs for journey to uranus , its a very stupid decision to make it ipad exclusive. Ipad represents 10% of the appstore, or even less. You know that we would all buy it if it was on itouch and iphone... I guess its fair ; we lose a great app, you lose stacks of money
It's a shame it's an iPad exclusive. I've pretty much burnt out on pocket god at this point and was anxious to find out what was coming next. The great thing about pocket god was always that just when you got tired of it, you came out with something new. It was perfect for those of us with short attention spans. The new content you've been providing lately, while it is more expansive than before, it seems to take too long relative to the amount of time that I spend with it. I Don't plan to get an iPad anytime soon, and as cool as your next app will probably be it's not going to be go out and spend $500+ dollars to get one now cool. IMHO unless you have something totally new in the pipes for iphone/ipod as well, you're going to lose a ton of your base fans. I hope not though as I enjoy your work and will probably pick up an iPad in a few years and hope you'll still be making apps and still going strong at that point. Until then; it's been fun, but pocket god's going to have to be moved to the folder of games I don't hardly play but don't want to delete.
ReplyDeleteCome On do something on the website already I'm soooooo bored just coming on and seeing the journey to uranus please update the blog/ really soon
ReplyDeleteI know your waiting on promotional dates, but any specific date you guys have in mind for when you're submitting the update?
ReplyDeleteNeat, I thought it was an April fools joke
ReplyDeleteDave I'm 10 years old and I can't afford a I pad please have it for ipodtouch.
ReplyDeleteKaleb don't give me the ipad crap I can't afford a ipad
I have an ipad :) I know this sounds like advertising but i just wanted to post this because so many people are coplaining about not having an iPad, I currently have a youtube channel that will be giving away a free ipad to a random subscriber so all you need to do is subscribe, go to this video to find out more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-cZwyonC78

ReplyDeleteIn respose to allot u who want a version for the iPod touch I say sense it's an exclusive for the upas they shuld give it to the upas for 99 cents and to the touch and iPhone users for 2.99 or4.99 yeah it's a bit pricy but if U are that desperate for a game that's worth it u better show ur thnx to them, I don't own an upas but I wuld pay it in the blink of an eye if they released a version for the touch so... WHO WITH ME!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, do it for iPhone PLEASE D:
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool, I see some screenshots... LOL!
