Hahah, you're telling me!

It would also already be done if I could do this full-time. Hopefully the game will really take off so I can!
 
Is this game going to have ads or just pay money for a one time fee? This is a great idea. Im learning to code right now, and I would love to help out once i can code!

Awesome! Programming (especially games) is a ton of fun, I'm sure you'll love it. :)

Regarding whether the game will be ad-supported or pay-to-play: we're still discussing this amongst the team (and with some potential investors). We'll make an announcement once we get just a little bit closer to the weekend.

Well, ads make you more money, but as a customer, I'd rather pay for it once and not have it bothering me all the time like in angry birds... Either way it's up to you xD

I think it's best to have both, paid and ad-support. People REALLY hate ads and the option of not allowing the customer to get an paid ad free version will hurt you. An example would be said customer use adblock so that they don't have to deal with the app. So you don't get the ad money from that customer.

My vote would go to the ads, there are a lot of users who don't have Google Checkout simply because they need a credit card in order to buy the apps, and children don't have an creditcard... Maybe you can do both? An ad-free version and an ad version? :)

This is also something we're considering, although one version would like come shortly after the other, while we made the necessary modifications.
 
Wow fex, you have made a game that has everyone excited. Looking forward to getting to actually play it. You may want to contact the file sharing site to get the beta apk removed from there
 
Yeah removing it could really help so other people can't share it anymore. That is not okay :( I don't understand why people can't just wait for u to finish the game. Everyone will be pleased if it is actually finished instead of just a rough game

Yep, good call.

Fortunately, every single APK I send out to the beta testers is marked with an indentification number specific to that tester, so we know exactly who breached contract.

It's a shame they would do that, though - one bad apple spoiling the fun for the whole bunch!

Either way, the version they uploaded was quite old and buggy, and had a lot of testing mechanisms turned on which would honestly make the game not very much fun to play, anyway. It certainly wasn't worth invoking legal action over, for sure.
 
Fex, you may want to troll over on some warez sites over the next day or so. I am sure it will show up, then you would be able to get the URL to take it down.
 
I have been checking this topic ever since it's on.. but in almost an addicting way xD! Actually im on my phone right now. HTC Desire HD :D So if you need a tester, you got one here as well as many others on the forum xD. Just so you know.. although we might sound hyperactive, our fingers are waiting to play your awesome game!
