i bought this app on a whim about 2 weeks ago at 1:00am. I was browsing a thread from the developers asking people what they wanted for an upcoming theme. After reading a few replies I realized just how much the developers have relied on info from the purchasers of the app. I always like it when developers respond to people and it seems like this app has major potential still.
I also read one suggest that they incorporate a wind effect from you blowing into the iphone speaker and thus simulate a hurricane effect. if they can pull that off that would be awesome

does this thing get boring after a couple of tries? or, does anyone use it for stress/anger management? (like if you're pissed off at something, you play this game and destroy the hell out of those islanders... kinda like an electronic punching bag. lol)

I was wondering about this also. I need to try this thing out and see what the buzz is all about.

That's exactly ehat it's great at. I can be in a pretty crappy mood, and just flick a couple islanders into a volcano, and I'm smiling.
The newest shark update is pretty damn funny, too.

I remember not long ago people were complaining about all the Fart apps, and then it was Shooting games, and Mafia, etc., While I suppose there is a violent aspect to this, it's cartoonish and most importantly, it's a well-done app that does a good job of demoing the iPhone's strengths. i.e. it's something to be proud of, for Apple and the developer.
In short, it's one of the first Top XX apps I'm happy to say I own! The 'blow' to make a hurricane would be a great addition, and another example of using the iPhone's unique features! And the developer's responsiveness and sense of humor is refreshing. I look forward to updates.

Maybe they should add more islands? then they could have battles (or Amazon women islanders? romance... babies...)

Follow them on Twitter http://twitter.com/PocketGod I asked them to visit this thread and maybe catch a few ideas from us.
The "blow" update will indeed be great, but what about voice commands from god to do stuff? Ain't that awesome!
Random (men & women) islanders would definitely add a fresh feel to it.

I was thinking about starting a thread about this app. I bought last week and was gonna ask, can someone explain it to me. I can make the islanders slide around, make them go to sleep (push the sun down) and make them dance (tap on the screen), but what else can I do? The rock drops on one of them every once in a while, and the coconuts drop down for them to eat (sometimes), but what else can I do? I tried throwing one into the volcano but they wouldn't go off the island (better instructions needed).
It's a cool looking app, I just need to know what actions are available.

The app is great. Sure, after a few minutes, there's not a ton more to do with it, but it's perfect for stress relief. I keep coming back to it, cause it makes me laugh.
Even my wife has asked for my phone when she's frustrated, so she can "kill some pygmies and feel better."

I bought this app and thought it's such a waste of money. What's the hype all about?? It isn't even a game, you don't get scored, you don't have levels. The animations do look pretty granted, but it gets old in 2 minutes....because there's only so much you can do.....there's almost ZERO replayability....if it can be called a game to begin with....

thats why the developers work hard to bring out new updates every week. I'm sure they know that people would get bored of it very quickly...unless they kepted updating it with cool new features.
I think the best thing to do it tease the shark. Hang a little man over the water and as the shark jumps lift it up, then lower it again and do the same.... funny as hell!

It's NOT called a game.
It's under the Entertainment category.

You can also do the reverse.
Pick up the shark and hang him over one of the islanders. If your aim is good, the shark will eat him as he dances around the island then finally goes into the water. Funny as well.
Yep, not a game but a short stress reliever.
Just saw this post (missed it on the first scan of the thread):

I found something "new" too. You can make a design with the lightning. just drag your finger round and round and when you put your finger on a pygmy to kill them you will see your creation. I tried doing a screen shot of it but it won't capture the lightning.

I'm surprised I havent stumbled on this forum yet. Thanks for all the kind words about pocket god. Hopefully the idle hands update will be out tonight and I am working on the following update right now. it should be submitted on sunday night and its called... "Hi Dracula!"
Can anyone guess what will be in this update?
btw, we talk to the guys at Chilingo so its all about friendly competition. They said they might put Pygmies in one of their updates. I would feel honored because they did such a great job on the game.

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on an app that deserves its place at the top, after so many that didn't (I'm looking at you, iFart!)
Since you're playing off iDracula, here's an idea for you. With all the iMob, iMafia, Mafia apps... Pocket Godfather! Maybe a giant Pygmie (oxymoron?) so big that you only see him from the knees down, and the pygmies worship him (kiss his toe ring?) or he steps on them! It's an offer you can't refuse!

Thanks, we didnt even think about the mafia games, but that would be hilarious. maybe he takes out a baseball bat and starts bashing the other islands over their heads knocking them off the island. he could even have a Goomah.

I'd love to see it... feel free to use the idea!
Maybe you could act out Gulliver's Travels... another island could fight over how they boil eggs or something silly (that's how we got Big Endian and Little Endian computer addressing). And the giant could put out fires (like the volcano or from lightning strikes) using his, umm, hose (that's not in the kiddie version of the movie). Might want to tread lightly on that one.

Hey Chris,
The update was submitted to Apple last Monday. the only reason why it was a day late was we discovered a bug on Monday that we needed to fix.
It should have been out yesterday but I guess we missed the cutoff and it should be approved on Monday.
And we are working on the "Hi Vampire!" update right now, so it should be ready to submit as soon as "Idle hands" is approved.

What's funny? The developer himself posted in this thread yesterday "Hopefully the idle hands update will be out tonight and I am working on the following update right now."
I can tell you personally that I posted an update to 100sounds (http://www.100sounds.com) 6 days ago, and it hasn't been approved yet, and the only change was the text on the (i) info page! Apple sent an email saying that the review would take extra time, but no details. I asked for a little more info and got the same message. Frankly, it's amazing the developers have been able to update the app as frequently as they have, with new features.

I actually checked with Apple. Yep, if they deem your app to be 'featured' you get the extra exposure and opportunity to enhance your description page. But they claim it's not advertising.

I also love how the vampire stops and waves no when it's time for sunrise~
I'd like to make one request though. Is it possible if you can make the whole vampire transformation a little faster? Personally, I think it takes a bit too much of a time.

I can put that on our list of improvement, originally I wanted to have the vampire eat a pygmy, but it took up too many frames of animation. we ran out of RAM. maybe in the future we can change it. and the vampire looks like the other pygmies so we didnt need to do a duplicate set of all the other anims. that would take up a lot of memory as well.

that is because the icon on your phone is going to be one week behind. There was an explantion for this on another forum and i'm to lazy to find it. I'm sure Dave can explain it.
Dave,
I really love this update. Having the option to turn one of my pygmy's into a vampire is a terrific addition. congrats. can't wait for the next update.
One suggestion would be when you knock a pygmy into the water when the shark is coming is to have the shark attack said pygmy in the water.

So, this week was kind of a milestone for us, we released 10 updates in 10 weeks and our 11th update is in review right now. It’s kind of funny that our new update is about hurricanes because that's exactly what it has felt like since we started in January.
This was a fun one to work on for me, the last few have been fairly heavy on the art side, but this one was mainly a programming effects based update. We have wanted to do Hurricanes for a while but I've been a little concerned that I wouldn’t have the time to do it justice, but once I got into it and created the initial algorithm for doing the whirlwind, everything just started falling in place and Sunday night it all just came together at the last minute like usual. I think you will like it, it’s pretty interactive and the pygmies look awesome when they are being whipped around in three dimensions.
In other news, today I submitted our order for our figures. Here's a pic for those who haven’t seen it yet.
http://dev.boltcreative.com/pocketgod/final.jpg
We ordered 10 of them, 1 for each of us, and 8 to give away to big review sites at the Game Developers Conference next week. If people are interested, they cost $90 apiece and if I get enough orders I can have them do another run. I'll post pics of the final product when I get them.
This also marks the beginning of the 3rd week at the top paid app position, we know that it can be a pretty steep decline once you start moving down so we are looking for ways to extend our time at #1. Mainly it involves finding big sites that can write reviews for us (our MacWorld and fox news reviews when live this week) but we are also looking for new ways of generating interest. I think Allan’s viral video should be done before we start working on the next update (it is awesome), and we should have our WallPaper Apple contest on our blog tomorrow. Hmmm, I wonder if we have a good prize for the contest. Something that’s much better than a T shirt and a limited edition with only 10 in existence?
Technology wise, everything was put into the hurricane effect but I did manage to create a cool tool that can take key framed animation from flash and dump it into our engine, we are now using it to animate the tree, where each palm branch and the trunk is its own bitmap and we just move, rotate, and scale the pieces instead of having a giant png for each frame. This will be a life saver for us, because keyframed animation is small, we can finally start animating bigger objects without it impacting us so much.
A Might Wind! was posted on Monday night so it should be available Friday.
The next update.... what can I say about it... I guess it’s a subject that appears in the New Testament quite a bit. It will also be a nice update and probably the closest to a mini game that we have built so far.

those figures are really slick looking. So how do you go about getting a website to review your app? It appears that you are located in San Francisco. I know the IGN website guys are located somewhere in San Francisco. They just started reviewing Iphone games about 6 months ago. That website receives heavy traffic.

I know the IGN website guys are located somewhere in San Francisco. They just started reviewing Iphone games about 6 months ago. That website receives heavy traffic.
It's just a matter of developing a connection, either through a friend or emailing them blindly and hoping they respond.

Hey Everyone, just got the figures in today. You guys better practice your photoshop, these things look incredible. much better than in the picture. Keep in mind they are fairly small, 3 inches high. but they look like they are carved from stone.

Its the powder material they make it out of, I used macro focus so it really pics it up, but the live version looks awesome.

Dave,
Just wanted to let you know, helluva job on the app. My wife enjoys it, and she even steals my ipod so she can play.

Yay! Great update took me a second to figure out how to make the Hurricane but lots of fun.
One thing I do miss is the ability to move the clouds but looks like the reason being is so the Hurricane isn't accidentally triggered.
Great job as usual!

I just d/l the update. I love the hurricane feature. It's fun too cause you can make different hurricane strengths.
Now if you can somehow get that shark to eat one of the pygmy's that lands in the water...

i do love this app and have had it for almost a month now!
NM...figured it out you have to have stormy weather on before you can do it....makes sense....DOH!

Hey Guys, Apple rejected our last udpate, they said we are using one of their copyrighted images. Its probably the little iphone icon that we use to toggle gravity on and off. we made the change but it looks like there wont be an update this week.
but the next update will include the fishing update, as well as fire ants, a magnifying glass, and Fient integration.

Nice. Can't wait. I just figured you took a well deserved week off.

I'm sorry to hear that Dave. Hopefully Apple won't be quite so nit picky when they re-review your update.
btw, i've been seeing Pocket God pop up on quite a few Iphone app sites lately.

Wow they are really strict about little things like this but let all that other crap into the App Store. :confused::rolleyes:
You guys have done an AMAZING job and I'm so glad quality developers like you all have been recognized. Keep up the great work! :)
