Studio Siafu is proud to announce our first game/entertainment-app 'Forest Folk'.
A MASSIVE thanks to riq, and the whole cocos2d community for helping make this possible!
The app is a cross between a group of virtual pets and a god sim, with some magic sprinkled in to bring it all to life.

Apples quick approval time caught us by surprise (not that we're complaining at all!). 5 days total, including a rejection and re-submission. We haven't had time to record the trailer yet, so expect one in the upcoming days...
Development Details
ForestFolk currently uses cocos2d 0.8.2, along with box2d & CocosDenshion, and will be updated to 0.9 as part of the next update.
The app took approx 6 months in total to develop. Made up of about 4 months of spare time/late nights, and 2 months nearly full time, between 2 of us, myself coding & Matt Latchford, a good friend and award winning illustrator/animator who designed and animated everything. We collaborated with Gravy Media, and other friends to help with audio, music and marketing, some of which we're still in the process of getting into full swing, ready for future updates.
Version 1 is our starting point, and we have ALOT of updates and features to add in over the upcoming months.
To stop the development time dragging on too long, we dropped some content and ideas early December, so we could focus on polishing the core character interactions, and other base features.
Theres a lot of other content ready to add in, but we're looking to get user feedback first, before we start adding in too much.
