Update: Big Sticky's status changed to "In Review" this morning!! That was a pleasant surprise to wake up to. A lot quicker than our previous games so it definitely wasn't expected. Will post more news as it comes in
I just watch the youtube trailer! I know I'm a bit late Well done for the video and congrats for Big Sticky's in review status! I wonder will Sticky's tongue get tired or not..
1 week to get to 'in review' status?! Sounds awesome. Hopefully everyone will get to play this great looking game soon!
Thank you!! Sticky's tongue never gets tired! LoL. I hope people don't take what I said another way. It's still in review but we hope it'll be approved very soon
Big Sticky just got approved today!! That was much faster than expected so now we're debating whether to set the release date earlier than the previously mentioned date of July 26. Not too early to ruin our 'marketing' efforts, but maybe a week earlier on July 19? Or should we just stick it out to July 26? As you can tell, we're not marketing experts. LoL.
I would keep the original release date. Spread the word already and now you really got the time to try the marketing road. Guess you still have some more material to put out, right ? More screens or videos to build up something. Maybe some development insight, too. I'd love to get to know more about this game - what worlds are there ? What is planned ? I don't know, anything
Gamers like it when stuff gets released early! If you're ready for it to be released and are happy with the marketing, then releasing it early might be a good thing. On the other hand, you've got the original date within all of your current marketing and the trailer, so you would need to make sure people were aware of the earlier date if it was brought forward.
Thanks everyone for all the awesome feedback! I've been going back and forth on this since it got approved yesterday. TruSmiles has a good point. The marketing, game trailer, press releases and posts were all set to say 26th. It would be a bummer if not everyone would be aware if we released it earlier and than the number of sales would be spread out, vs all at once, leading to less ranking in the app store. This is always a tough one because I'm so tempted to release it earlier. Acumen, This is funny because I'm currently writing a blog post about making iOS Apps, and in the marketing section I say NOT release it until some marketing has been done. Looks like I should just take my own advice and stick it out! Now that I got promo codes though, I'll send those out to reviewers and hopefully get some good reviews in the waiting period! I'll be sure to save some for you awesome people!
Hope it does well when it comes out on the 26th. Can't wait for that blog post too. Sounds interesting!
16 days until Big Sticky is released! If you haven't checked out the trailer yet, you can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iv1MiSPV4c We really hope you like it. We like to think of Big Sticky as a cross between our favorite NES/SNES games A blog post on the making of Big Sticky is just about finished so I'll be posting that up shortly! It'll detail the process in making our games from beginning to end. iOS games require a lot of work so expect this post to be long. Also we have a couple of extra codes left for BIG BAD Flower. As a reward for followers and readers of this thread, we'd love to give them out to you! Just send us a PM and we'll randomly select two. Thanks!
Can't wait for my favorite publisher to publish this great game Yea I know the publisher. When are they adding it to the upcoming games list btw?
Thanks LOLavi! We actually haven't decided yet whether or not to go with a publisher. We'll have more info by early this week Thanks for all the support though! We love it!
Interested in learning about how Big Sticky was made? I just published my first post on how games are made at BIG BAD BRUSH inc. Check it out! We really hope you enjoy it http://bigbadbrush.blogspot.com/2011/07/our-process-making-of-ios-games-at-big.html
Well yea, doesn't some part of the money go to the publisher if you use them? They would get you more sells, but maybe if you would go on your own and have a big campaign, you could actually make more money by your own, am I right? I just hope this does well as it's really looking potential!
