Pocket God 1.44 - The Perfect Swarm

hey guys,

new update hit app store. our second apocalypse update.

locust chamber!

so, in chamber have locust queen sitting on pedestal. huge , unable move, job create more locust babies feeding pygmies. when feed pygmy her, stomach starts bump around , make buzzing sounds , have touch belly squeeze out baby locusts.

locusts algorithmic effect kind of rainbow , lightning. fly around randomly until drag finger on screen , trail behind finger. can bunch of stuff pygmies locusts, can cause pygmy swallow single locust turn him mutant locust, can cause pygmy swallow bunch of locusts make pygmy large balloon. if tap large pygmy or mutant locust, go splat bug. can cause locusts eat pygmies flesh , fly off skull , hair bone, shout out ant update. can cause locusts pick pygmy , toss him , forth in air. when in air, can swipe through pygmy , cut him in half locusts ala fruit ninja. isn't official cross over, thought funny idea.

starting build out apocalypse chambers, locust chamber accessed second door in time chamber. , locust chamber has 2 exits lead 2 future updates.

update comes mondo skin pack, it's collection of weird items, nerd doodler, lava lamps islands, old school video game cabinet island statue, etc. same artist did our battle of gods , killing time posters did pack us. going try , have guest artists admire out more of skin packs. think it's idea , allow add new creative items.

it's talk next update starting @ end of month. month need focus on runs. won't release runs until think it's enough stand next other great games on app store. crank out our mini games this, want special , takes time find right approach make shine. have of deadline bulk of done month before start working on next pg update , use may , possibly june polish , release it.

did ton of work on pretty awesome level design tool runs. started tool when did decapithon it's come long way since then. uses adobe flash editor allows lay out huge levels , add things camera triggers change zoom, or slow down frame rate bullet time part of level. it's taken lot of work tool far allow larger levels , make them higher quality.

using new render technique in runs. want add ton of layers levels , bitmaps have alpha channels pretty slow render on iphone. using vector graphics bitmap fills large pieces of background layers.

think that's it. let me know think of update.
