Overdue blog post! Where is the update?


It's that time of year again! Vacation time! To complicate matters, we're working on the craziest update "Battle of the Gods" we've ever worked on. The plan was to have it done before I went on vacation but after working hard on it, it became clear that it needed more love. The reality is we're trying to make a game design that would take most companies several months to a year and squeezing the production into a month (ok, a little more). There's quite a game behind that battle arena! I'm back but it needs some more animations from me now. But mostly we need to work on the game mechanic a little more.

In the meanwhile, Journey To Uranus now has zombies! And you can do more than create them. you can take them off planet or have another pygmy fight them! We also have more planned for the zombies for the next update, so I know it looks like not much is happening but we are working hard.

To make matters a EVEN MORE complicated, Dave and I will drop by Comic-con this coming week. We're trying to submit beforehand, but I'm concerned we won't. So, vacation is over and it's back to work!

More coming!

  1. Just so you guys know, when you give a Pygmy the axe there is a single black pixel that floats above their head. Also, in the next update there should be a final kill swing that a Pygmy can do after cutting off all of the zombies body parts that would kill the zombie or knock him off the island

  9. I'm excited for the update, but take as much time as it needs! It would be a shame for such a hyped addition to be a letdown (not that I expect it to be!)
    No rush! Just know that we're all highly anticipating Battle of the Gods!

  11. you want them to make pocket god JTU free? seriously? you must not understand how much work goes into making an app like pocket god. one dollar is pretty good considering you dont have to pay for the updates. its just 2 people making this app dude.

  13. Mike, if they made it free they wouldnt make any money, PG takes a lot of work and coding. Why do you think thats fair?

  15. Pygmys should be able to fall in love with girl pygmys and give the girls flowers and propose and stuff, but after the Pygmy dies it'll be like it never happened And if the girl, that the pygmy is in love with, dies then the boy Pygmy should cry until you kill him and having girl pygmys should be a choice on one of the bars on the top of the screen. I know your working really hard right now, but PLEASE AT LEAST THINK ABOUT THIS

  24. I found a funny glitch! First of all make a zombie and take it to mercury. Next tap the time bubble and put the zombie under it. It will unage and fall into the silver water! It's really funny when you watch it!- BibianaNew

  26. This is really nice game and unique good going

  27. The games good but it needs many more updates. Some suggestions I have are on mercury I think there should be a underwater battle arena also the need god challenges and a universe version of battle of the gods. And the should add this types but different names alien, black hole, and technology/cyborg. And they need more planets, one should be Neptune with a underwater city and you can leave and swim on the planet. Two Pluto should be like the igloo planet on pocket god. And they need to add upgraded versions of all the islands off pocket god.
