Sensible Soccer from c64 plz ))

At least here in Germany, those thingies can normally be found at fairs.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

I just purchased it in Finland. Great game but it's upside down :D

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Btw, is there a list of the games made with the SIO2 engine for other platforms ?

I'm very glad to see a commercial company using so many OSS tools :)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Just got back a messages from you guys stating that you can't find the transaction in your system. I wrote to paypal and asked them for help, but honestly I don't know what they can do than just resend whatever they have sent you guys in the first place?

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

So... $1.99 for n900 version, but only 69p ($1 ish) for the iphone version...

Why????

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

There are any number of understandable and reasonable answers to that, but you are free to spend your money as you see fit.

Thread stickied as requested. I'm a bit disappointed that in your haste, your unwillingness to go through the burdensome Ovi QA didn't get translated into a bit more in-house QA. Still, the apps in Ovi aren't all optified and no paragons of QA, either.

Your rapid correction of issues as found is commendable.

Just FYI, QA for apps admitted to the maemo.org repository is that they not occupy more than a few hundred kB rootfs space (ideally even less). Here's the complete checklist.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Come on, N900s are far less then the iPhones, so it's understandable why the price for us is a bit higher.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

I find basketball extremely boring unless it is streetball. Some people are not into basketball. Don't judge your possibilities to perform at a profit on this device platform based on your first app being a basketball app.
Try to instead look at something more broader in appeal.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Far less than iphones in what way? The game is pretty much identical on the iphone to n900, I don't see why there should be any difference in prices.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Just send us back your transaction ID and we will activate it manually...

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

This is the fact:
they have a production cost of X both for iPhone and N900. If, for example, one user each three buy the game, they will have:
many_many_many_iphone_users / 3 * 1$ = many money
and
not_so_many_n900_users / 3 * 2$ = not so many money

If they don't want to lose money (and trust me, they really don't want) then they must to keep the price a little higher on the n900.
The same things happened for Angry Birds: 0.79$ on the iPhone and a free demo + 3$ for the full game on the n900.

Until the n900 will be largely used, this is how the things go.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Fo f sake. Then do not pay it or are you going to give people lesson about how they should spend their own money?

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Agree. People who complain about non mandatory things needs a swift shot to the happy sack. I am personally stoked to see ANY commercial interest in the N900 at all.

By the way - any way to shut off the music?

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Hello! I perchased the game. Until the last page says restart your game.

But as I restart, the same purchase page appeares again...

What shall I do??

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Well actually if your username on this forum is similar as your name... (which I think it does) I can see that your game is activated ;)

Sometimes it takes a few seconds (sometimes minutes) before Paypal reply with the IPN...

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

You are correct, they do have production cost for both iPhone and n900, however do not forget that it was originally developed on the iphone meaning it cost a LOT more to develop than to port. No doubt porting is a lot of work but in comparison from starting from scratch it is a lot less.

You also cannot really use the size of the market to justify the price hike, if you've used symbian before you will have noticed that the games in the ovi store are very expensive compared to the iphone, for games that aren't as good and have potentially a MUCH larger audience.

I dont think $1.99 is expensive, far from it, but when does a 100% price increase for the exact same game become too much?

I am happy that developers are taking the platform seriously as it does have the capacity to perform as well as the iphone in gaming, and this is not a critism on the game itself likewise the publisher, its just something I hope isn't going to become a trend.

That's intriguing, just out of curiosity what are the licence terms?

Im sure you mean "football" :)

Make a football game and you'll have a new customer!

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Football is played in America, what people commonly and usually love here in Europe is soccer ;)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

And they call it... football. :D

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

because we play it with our foot...
we are not playing a game with our hands and call it football...

xD


jk

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Because they use their "foot".. I don't understand why don't they call "American football" to "American Rugby".. That would make ALOT more sense..

Anyways, great game.. but according to the youtube video it looks like it's a bit slow?? idk, I purchase the game anyways, because I want to support any company that will produce something awesome for the N900.

Thanks again sio2interactive. :)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

just purchased it and first play i had trouble shutting it down, i could not close by killing current task either the option simply was not there.
it made the desk top turn grey and nothing responded

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Humm just push Q? ;)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

I still can't start the game... Seems my game is not activated...:(

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

there is only a Q on start up window once in game i see no Q anywhere, only options i have are pick and menu, all menu as is difficulty settings.
once you mininise a running app it should shut down from task switcher simlpy by hitting X not crash your whole system.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

England invented football and we named it football not soccer :)
It's also older than american football so it goes without saying what is true football

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Alright guys, let's be done with the football/football commentary or i'll have to move the whole digression to off topic. Don't make me do that. :P

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

English are not open-minded to other sports, hence having a small vocabulary and being unable to differentiate between styles of play. Everyone knows Aussie Rules is real football.

And thx to devs for the port. Download and transaction went without a hitch. More ports please. :)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Do you save my IMEI code to your database? If so then should i be worried? Is it linked to my name? What kind of security matters you have for this database. Or am I just exaggerating my security conserns?

In general is IMEI code something that is should keep in really safe?

About game. Please make quit menu item and little more optimization on animation would make good.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

a demo would have been nice. i cannot judge a games play quality from a youtube video.

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

slender:

Don't even worry it is not saved directly inside the database...

What is saved in the database is an encrypted combination of IMEI + MAC address + game name + game version + other info...

Even myself I can't read it or anything from it as I don't have your device... only the device that generate it can read it back ;) and it won't work on another device... trust me its 110% safe ;)

Cheers,

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Keep up the good work! I bought and loved the game. I hope to see new games soon! Thanks SIO2 Interactive!

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

Looks like we're getting more games!

If you ever get the time, how about a freekick game for the N900, you know, like the one that used to be bundled with EVERY samsung phone at some point? :)

I mean this game

and make it look something like THIS


Just an idea/suggestion :)

Re: SIO2 Interactive Publish its first N900 Game::HoopsFrenzy
 

You can purchase the source code of all our published games... so feel free to get a grab on the source that interest you the most, learn from it use it to create / modify the game to look and behave the way you see fit ;)
