So I've already posted this on Facebook, Twitter, reddit, etc, and my lovely fiancé has blast texted everyone we know, but here's the official blog post about quadropong! Here is the link to the iTunes App Store where you can find my first game for only a buck! I've worked really hard on this game for the last 8 months, and while it's not completely finished (it never is...) I can proudly say this game is ready for a 1.0 release.
I found out that the app was approved on my bike ride to Trader Joe's, my regular job, and I almost did a backflip when I saw the push notification show up on my screen! I was so excited. I then proceded to tell everyone at work who has an iOS device that they should download it immediately. I got a ton of support from them too. It's an amazing feeling to see other people excited about something I've made. I haven't ever had the chance to show off any of my previous programming exercises; they've always been tools or toys for me to use. This is the first chance I've had to really show off to the world. It's a little scary, because it's been less than one day and I'm already getting some negative feedback (outweighed by TONS of positive feedback, mind you), showing me small things I overlooked or didn't test enough. I guess that is to be expected though.
I was planning on relaxing today, my day off, but I think I'd better do some more work on this app. :)
