App Rejected, Story Map 1

Posted by polyfrag, 26 January 2013 · 459 views

Probably not surprisingly, my Seizure Inducer app got rejected by Apple. The reason given was:

We found that your app encourages reckless activity, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

In other news, work is progressing on the first single-player story map for pAtHoGeN.

Here are some textures I made for the map:

I removed the powerline in the top-right one.

I must say I'm not impressed with Apple's so called review process. The amount of crap they allow by "big named" publishers and even indie developers, they shouldn't deny your game for being "reckless".

If I re-call, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies are pretty reckless... But wait, that's because it's a big publisher. Even Dexter The Game...

Pretty sad if you ask me...

What version of PaintShopPro is that? It looks like it might pre-date what I remember of PSP 8, back before Jasc was bought out by Corel. I currently use PSP 11, but they're now on PSP 15.

Ofcourse, that's not saying much, since Corel almost releases a new version every year. It seems they don't know the meaning of 'minor version'. Mostly their new releases seem like cosmetic changes with only a few new features. But, thankfully, instead of buying the $60 dollar program (which is a very reasonable price), you can 'upgrade' for... $50? Only $10 off is the upgrade price? And only if you bought a previous version within the last two years? For minor cosmetic changes? When you can get the latest version (upgrade or not) for $40 on Amazon? Their price choices is done horribly, since the cheapest version is available through Amazon which they have to share the profits with. *shakes head*

I dunno, the mapper uses PSP, not me.
