    Neat! I too embarked on this adventure with a buddy but we both lost interest due to school for him, and lack of time for me, having a newborn son around that time. I hope you do well and have your dream realized! /moneybags

    Sorry to hear that :frown: Yeah weve been working on it for about 7 months now and we're pretty close to releasing. What aspect of your project did you work on?

    Nice job on the game concept, it looks catchy and fun. Exactly what mobile games/apps need. I like the art work, your buddy is doing a great job! Nice little tune too. I do iOS development for a living at the moment. Fun gig. Makes me wonder how the Planetside 2 app is coming, I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

    On names, I'd try to recommend some but I can't think of too many off hand. How about something like "Fly trap"

    We really never got past the idea parts, just concept art and sketching out game mechanics. We had 6 games planned, I think that is what killed it. We should have stuck to one and then moved on. I won't give away our plans; we may return to it when he graduates from college next year.

    I see, yeah man i don't blame ya! As for Attak Software we have 3 games in the pipeline, but "That Frog Game" will be our first completed cohesive project.

    What really helped us get going were:
    1) get a white board
    2) focused on one project.
    3) have regular meetings no matter what. (ours are Monday and Wednesday for 2 hours)
    4) Motivate each other.
    5) Document EVERYTHING.

    I hope you and your collegues get back together because once you have a working game loop, it's really fucking cool. Let me know if you would like to see more, or have any questions :)

    Mortos. Nice P90! I've heard that gun is very comfertable, did you enjoy using it on the battlefield? My M4 is great but it's so long that it's hard to maneuver at close range sometimes

    Love my P90, very comfy light, easy to get around trees and doors. Had the same problem with the barrell length on guns getting in the way. The only down side to the P90 is the amount of time it takes to wind the mags, and the fact it's hard to find vest that holds them, other then that it's a great gun! Mine has been upgraded as well stuck a lipo battery in it a few months ago and its shooting in the 520 fps range.

    520! Don't put me in the line of fire, damn! Most of the events I went to have a limit of 400 or 425 and people still got teeth shot out, haha.

    Well that was with the Lipo in it i think with out its around the 460 to 480.....its a beast of a gun. Been itching to get back out and play with the team but I am so out of shape right now I would have a heart attack if i hit the field. http://www.alliedforcesairsoft.com/ that the team I play with, there are a ton of Pics if you want to look around.
