Princess and Unicorn are coming to iPhone

Published by Mr. Tabu on 23rd June 2016

Friends, you are now looking at a post, made by a happy owner of a “mac mini” – it was a though decision, but it was a nessecary step I had to take if I wanted to port the game to iPhone. I tried to get around it by installing a virtual machine of MacOSX, but after some time, I realized that I had to go “All Mac” 🙂 And as a result I am now a happy owner of a Mac.

Of course, there have been some hickups, there is things that I had to learn the hard way.

Lesson #1: You HAVE to buy original Apple stuff
There is no way around this one – Apple gear work great with other Apple gear – as soon as it is not Apple gear, it becomes difficult.

Lesson #2: You are supposed to buy iPhones new, not used.
The amount of problems I have faced buying a used iPhone – apparently, iPhones locked to an account, cannot be unlocked.

Lesson #3: iPhones breaks
Throwing them out from the 3’rd floor is too much for a iPhone

Anyways,

SOON ON iPHONE – YAY – MUCH Celebration! 🙂

Princess and Unicorn 1.0 released

Published by Mr. Tabu on 22nd May 2016

Princess and Unicorn is my first game on the Google play store.

This is a complete one man show, as I have had no help from other creating this. The only thing in this game that I did not create myself was the music and sound effects, which I got from some pages that offers free stuff like that.

Creating this game was a great learning experiences, and even though I have plenty of ideas on how to improve the game, it have to stop somewhere, and I am on to my next game.

I have decided that if purchases starts coming in on the game, I will start with some improvements.

But please, go ahead, play my game, and if you want more stuff, like, more power-ups, more unicorns, better sound effects etc. just use some real money, or watch some advertisements in the game – and I will make it.

As for the iPhone version, it is not here yet, and as it is with the extra features, if the game starts to get some attention – I will start working on a iPhone version as well – but I have to be able to afford at least a iPhone before I can do this 😉

Thank you to all the great people who helped me test this game and gave me feedback, it was really help full.

Princess and Unicorn version 0.5.0 is here – rejoice :)

Published by Mr. Tabu on 10th May 2016

So, I have been working to get the last bits and pieces in place so that this game is ready to release – I am not quite there yet, but it is close.

Making games is like building a sand castle at the beach on a summer day – every time you complete something, some new good idea pops up in your mind, and you start building on a new part. It is great fun, but now, this castle have to be complete, since we are leaving the beach shortly 😉

So, with this release, I have a few nice things in store.

For the person who cannot wait to unlock that Rainbow Unicorn – it is now possible to purchase using real money
There is now more coins in the level, and it should be more fun collecting them
Your score will now be shared with the rest of the world 🙂 (You have to be logged in to Google Play)
There is now achievements that can be unlocked (You have to logged in to Google play)
The Unicorns have been balanced slightly, making them all easier to play.

Rainbow and Pink Unicorn have entered the scene

Version 0.4.0

So, here we are again a new version is about to be ready, and I am closing in on having something that is ready for releasing into the public space and ending the start up of Princess and Unicorn. But before the final release, here I am with some new stuff.

So, say hello to Pink Unicorn
The Unicorn that will run faster and jump higher than regular unicorn.

Rainbow Unicorn, with a soul made of pure colour and love, will run so fast that even the purest of heart will get high blood pressure if they try to keep up.

Changes

Unfortunately, do to the introduction of the new unicorns and the way that I previously saved data, I have had to reset the scores and upgrades – sorry about that 🙁 This might happen again as I will be integrating with the Google play service in next release, and I am unsure how this will affect the way that I save data.

On the bright side, I have added more coins to the levels, so that you now get more points for each game – the difficulty of the game have increased, so you now have to run faster to get away from death. Please let me know if you think it is to difficult.
