   Cause I don't have Codemattic's email, I ask here.

   You are one of the oldest guys here, so if you are making a game, I'm very curious about this. :-)

   What kind of game are you doing for taking so long?

   I also would like to know your email . do you got mine? If so send me an email.

   Hey Man!

   So yeah, Ive been here a loong time. Im that friggin genius that know what everyone else should do with their games but cant quite finish his :(

   I realize the irony of wanting to create a game, and getting endlessly sidetracked in my development by playing other people's games and browsing the web in a clicktrance. Just one more lolcat before getting back to programming.

   I have a mountain of respect for those of you that not only came up with a clever gameplay idea and programmed it, but created artwork, sound effects, music, fought with Apple/code-signing certificates/iTunesConnect, rejections and resubmissions, and wrote p.r. copy, sent emails/promocodes to every reviewer, sent followup emails when you didnt hear back, hung out in TouchArcade forums praying to get noticed. I friggin salute you guys!

   I am a little disheartened that I see so many interesting/fun games that I think only get a few sales. I dont use promocodes - if there is a game I think Ill like Ill buy it, and if I do Ill give a good review/rating, and if I dont like it I dont give any review/rating. But there is no way around it, the AppStore sales charts have a real steep curve. Its not quite a set of steak knives for 2nd place, but its close.

   I think I have something reasonably clever for my first game. Not worldchanging, but a pretty decent arcade/action based on a classic game, but I think I have a really good multi-touch control interface and some new gameplay ideas. I have some things Ive started, but getting everything together in a finished state is a hurdle for me. Still, Ill make sure to post when I get something in. Maybe for OS 4.0 ;)

   good luck with GeoRain coolman!

   Hi Codemattic,

   I don't remember where I saw that coding the game is the easy part, that the hard is marketing it.

   far from OS 4.0 .. haha :-) funny.

   Thanks man. ;)
