THE POCKET BLOG HAS MOVED!


Pack up your coconuts, everyone, 'cause we're moving! Well, more accurately, we've MOVED. We've had the new site up for a week, but we were so buried in the latest PG update, I didn't have the time to announce it. Everything was moved over a week ago, but I notice a ton of comments on this entry were made since..and they will probably not be brought over...my apologies.

The new site has all kinds of cool stuff. It's shocking really. You can see all our videos, icons, posters, descriptions of every update for PG and JTU. Plus the Pocket God Store has been revamped, has a bunch of T-Shirts and is ready for more products. Pepijn Gooiker worked his butt off the last few months to get it together, in addition to his project management, testing and video demo responsibilities. Thanks Pepijn!

There's lots of things coming up. Episode 43 is being released this week. Production on the next comics are in full swing. The Runs, the new game that was announced is in production. More products for the store should be coming soon as well! So from now on keep up with Pocket God news at BOLTCREATIVE.COM!

Our youngest fan yet

Hey again! We found this video of a toddler playing "Pocket God" and laughing hysterically. We work hard to build our Pocket God Army from a young age and it's good to know it's working. Check it out:



And thanks to Hamman2108 for uploading the video!

Pocket God Forums LIVE with David Hedgecock


Hey guys... the kids at Pocket God Forums (no we don't run it) asked David Hedgecock of Ape Entertainment to do a "live" forum posting session where kids got to ask all sorts of questions about the Pocket God comic. David is awesome and is one of the minds behind the comic so he dishes all sorts of exclusive info, including hints about future stories and the first color designs of the female Pygmies (including the names of the few that weren't clear in the comic)---But I won't spoil it here...

>>Go to the Pocket God Forums and check it out <<

And a big shout out to the PG Forums! My apologies, when David notified me of this, I had a distant memory of receiving an email about doing something like this but was in the middle of our holiday rush! I promise to participate next time!

Thanks guys!

P.S. If you haven't already, be sure to vote for us in Best Comic App on 148Apps.com Best App Ever contest.

P.P.S. I've taken a small break from Pocket God Runs to work on the next Pocket God update. Yes...we've got BIG PLANS for 2012!

2012 begins with PocketGamer -- and the New Yorker!


Welcome to 2012! We've just barely gotten started and we've already had some good press!

First of all, Dave has been interviewed by Jon Jordan of Pocket Gamer. In it, he reflects upon Pocket God's achievements in 2011 and looks forward to possibilities in 2012.

> > Click here to read the interview! < <

Pocket Gamer has also included "Pocket God: The Runs" as one of the ten most anticipated games of 2012. We're currently working our hardest to live up to that.

> > Check out the full list here! < <

Finally, and amazingly, Pocket God made The New Yorker's Culture Desk! Michael Agger has some very nice things about a certain Pygmy-based app that helped bring him "domestic peace."

> > Read the New Yorker piece here! < <

All in all, a good omen for the year. We've got a lot planned to make this year special, so stay with us!
