It looks nice and I'm very curious and eager for a test session. If you need some guys to try it before you release it, I'm in! I have an android phone that is waiting for fresh game.

BTW, when do you expect to finish it?

thanks... and yes, definitely we (me and yann) will need feedback - and more hardware testing is always welcome. you can already try out princess nuriko http://www.gameprogramming.de/renkel/portfolio/project.php?id=56 (which is available on android market as demo and full game) to see if my framework/engine works on your phone.

on the long run, send me a mail (via above website) for testing on Silent Totems.

BTW, when do you expect to finish it?

forgot to answer that last question: i'd like to intend release for a feedback / test version in "a few weeks" (april), and release (as in: "for sale on market") probably four weeks later (mai). and (more or less) "final" update (polishing, more content, taking into account all game ideas / feedback gotten) in autumn...

but thats just a theoretical schedule in "made up", practically there is so much that could delay it

[Noisefever]

this game looks very interesting. can't wait to try it out! for me as a musician the idea with the changing mood of the music is especially attractive. i'm curious if this works out!

[sirleto]

noisefever, you can hear a bit more of the music in the second part of the diary (which i linked just now)

finished a new feature last week, still lot to do.
due to easter my schedule is a bit slipping, hope that beta/demo version will be up first mai weekend.

would love to hear some comments ... the thread has been atleast viewed by 60 independent people, and nobody has not even ONE WORD to say 

[sirleto]

update: part #4 is up, release of demo/beta version slliped from late april to early mai - still looking for interested players

[sirleto]

update: part 5 is about performance trouble on android...

...i would like to get some feedback on my current question in part 5.
you can either post in the blog via comments, or here.

thanks in advance!

[sirleto]

so in this tuesdays dev diary entry i will wrap up, with what completes our feature list.
