All you have to do (until Fusion is updated) is open the Info.plist in Xcode and delete the line "Application does not run in background" and the warnings go away.

good news, I got it working! I had to add the security and webkit frameworks. That seems to have taken care of it. :D

That's how I added it the second time around which created all the errors in the final screenshot. Whats a fresh folder project?

Thats the plan. I initially started it as a mobile game so it's someone resource light. I'll probably target tablet specific though.

Beautiful!

Just learned that playing this game with a sleeping baby in the room is not the best idea lol especially if your jumpy.

I make most of my consistent revenue from Chartboost.

Hi, I just released my latest game Monkey Boots for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cockyculture.monkeyboots

Im having this same issue. When ever I select an edit box to input a name for hiscores it crashes the app. Do I need to set a permission or something?

The ad pops up at the beginning of the game, or if you leave the game and come back to it.

You don't. You have to do it in XCode. Just follow the directions exactly and its not to tough.

Looks great! Well done!

I just did it the old fashion way through xcode. It only pops up when the window becomes active but its better than nothing.

Here's a linke to a previous thread on the subject. The second post down has a good starting point for you - http://community.clickteam.com/threads/85541-Flappy-Bird?highlight=flappy+bird

I was thinking if not with a direct extension is there a workaround using the GET extension since I know Game Services can be used in web based games.

This would terrific, its not tough to do it manually for a start up splash screen, but the more cross platform extensions the better for Fusion.

Off topic, but your Tap icon is giving us all the middle finger :)

Nice!!!

I saw this on Touch Arcade! Really looking forward to the update, its still one of my go to games. You did such a great job with it!

It does work for iOS from my experience.

Thats awesome!

Its actually been released :) its a free download at Google Play

Awesome game Cole!

Not currently planning on it. Its controlled with finger swipes in the same vein as Fruit Ninja, so it doesnt translate to a game pad type control.

Thanks! Im surprised how quickly porting it over from iOS was.

I have anti-aliasing off for most objects. The screen size is 1136x720. That size/proportion has worked well for me on varying screen ratios.

You have to move the Chartboost code to the top of the section ahead of the first if statement. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, I don't have it in front of my but in 99% sure thats it :) Once you have it set up it should show a test banner pop up when you run it through xcode until you setup a campaign.

It also help eliminate the urge to make IAPs over priced (which is tempting lol) because regardless of sales in any way its bringing something in. I've also had a few customers and friends tell me...

Here's some infor I grabbed off there site

Earnings- When do I get paid?

To give you a little information about how we pay our publishers...

Publishers are paid...

Great idea!!!!!

Yeah, its a pretty quick integration.

"Money Earned" is actually what you'll get paid.

Here's another in game screen shot.

Joka, I use landscape ads as well. This only gives a single ad when your game boots up.

All Chartboost does is have a pop-up when the game is first loading advertising another game. After that its out.

to be honest the 3GS is already 4 generations back at this point, and as great as being able to accommodate it would be your going to limit yourself on the current design lineup.

Go to Nivrams site and look up "Ball Bounce Example" here's a link to the page - http://www.castles-of-britain.com/mmfexamples-a.htm

Another thing to consider is also the name of your game. The icon and the name are the first thing people see and can make or break your app.

It's based on the iPhone 5 so 1136x640

I think the trick to freemium is offering a FULL game, that moves along at a good pace, and using the iAPs to merely speed up or skip ahead.

Hi,

I've had a few people ask me about my experience in using IAPs so I figured I'd do a quick write up on how and what I learned from using in app purchases in Pocket Ninjas.



Firstly,...

It feels like iOS and Android are in that stride where all we can really expect is upgrades instead of innovations, where struggling/new OS's have no choice to push the envelope like WP8 and BB10 so...

You're probably right about this, I just think its odd that they seem to care about ergonomics considering they gave us a handheld device with hard edges all the way around that's basically made out...

After seeing the "unveiling" yesterday I get the impression that Tim Cook is there less to innovate and more to just not f*** it up. :(

Just a heads up, the iOS simulator is VERY slow. Try it on a device and it might work fine.

Is this extension still in the works, or do fastloops really work good without slowdown in the Windows Phone also?

Thanks guys, im an idiot lol and Jeff, it works! :)

Hey Jeff, This is a dumb question, but where do I go again to add badges :)

thank you! You're awesome! What about extensions like foreach? :)

Just curious if Clickteam intends to update the XNA runtime to support the new features with the upcoming WP8 such as in app purchases?

Pocket Ninjas v1.3 is now available and free again

Thanks! This update should go live sometime this week (I hope)

This argument is way off base. Unity3D is only "free", if you don't plan on pursuing game dev as a profession or to profit much from it.

MMF2 Dev= $369, Unity3D PRO=$1500
