Topic: Hamster Drop is released!

[OBJECTION MAN]

We were right at the entrance. How did you miss us?? Didn't see the cutouts and posters all over our double booth?

In the Expo Hall? Which entrance? The Queue Line entrance or the front entrance? I honestly was not in the Expo Hall that much.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Right where the line comes in in the morning. "Guest Entrance"

[Protoman Blues]

Ahhh yeah. That explains it. Really didn't frequent that entrance that much. So sorry I missed you guys. I would've loved to say hello.

I think i found the source of that crash.

It happens if I try to change the volume at the same time I'm opening the app.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Ah. Well, next year perhaps! Look us up; Skylance Studio.

Fun and adorable.the smooth way it runs helps too

Edit: ive noticed something that happens sometimes. Fairly often actually, i touch the screen and the character doesn't move.  Not sure if its my phone or what. Its most noticed during the hamster rocket segments. 

Also, sometimes the game crashes as soon as i open it. I open, loading screen and music starts, and it crashes, telling me i must close the program.  Music keeps playing until a press the button to close though. This is much rarer. (And not really that big a deal to me).

I get dropped input on my old shitty Android phone, but never on my tablet. The Droid2 is what I have for a phone, and it's known to have touch screen issues. Not sure which one you have.

As for the crashing, we've discovered what's the cause. We're looking into fixing it. Basically, when the phone tells the game to conserve memory and release it's textures, it'll try and reload them (back to the title screen) and crash for whatever reason after tapping on it. It doesn't seem to effect anything else in the game though.

Ah. Well, next year perhaps! Look us up; Skylance Studio.

I definitely will. I'll most likely be back up there, unless my friends decide they really want to check out PAX South.

@Flame: Patch is coming in a day or two.

What would you guys think about a Vita/VitaTV version?

[Phi]

Hm, honestly, I think it'd sell better on the eShop. The Vita isn't really doing too well, anyway.

Oh, and is this available for Windows yet?

[OBJECTION MAN]

Sadly not yet. The only platform for release we have to work with in that regard is Windows 8 which can't exactly be described as a bustling marketplace. It's going to take some more work yet to allow the game to run to a releasable standard with just the keyboard, and in non standard tablet/phone resolutions. Those same changes apply to any console release as well, which can be back ported for an easy Windows 8 release. (That's kind of the plan.)

That's all on the back burner because we've been putting our resources into a new game. Not sure when it'll be done though. A couple of months maybe. Our workflow got hit with some crazy [parasitic bomb] lately delaying a lot of things by slowing down everything.

The new game is on priority mainly because it was, in a way, commissioned by an outside entity looking to potentially help us market it. After that is done, we'll be going back to give Hamster Drop some new content and see about porting to other platforms.

Since my sister recently gave me a Nexus 7 tablet, I was able to download Hamster Drop.

I haven't been able to play it quite yet, as I'm a little busy right now, but I'll let you know what I think about it when I get around to it.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Thanks for you support! Let me know what you think of it.
