  1. @oliverlecher it's scheduled for late July
  2. New Learn #Cocos2D post: How to Zoom In on a Cocos2D Node - tinyurl.com/c7q4uu9
  3. I liked a @YouTube video from @derpupe youtu.be/zLbGt6xOT_s?a #AGH 10.5.12 #Piraten (02) Intervention: Oberg vs. L
  4. @TokyoDan the 3rd edition will use cocos2d 2.0, the examples are all using ARC, and you can use Kobold2D with the book, too
  5. @Mike_Haney not while you're also finishing up a game project, start a new one, and much more all at the same time ;(
  6. @wtrebella what channels did you use to promote the game?
  7. @wtrebella bought it! Cool, let me know when the next game's done. I think I need to start a "Games made with" list.
  8. @wtrebella got it, Polymer ... looks nice. I think I've seen this recently somewhere.
  9. @wtrebella cool! which app? Did it get featured on iTunes?
  10. I see 4 votes who said they got rich (over $8,000 in first month with first paid app). I wonder who they are?
  11. The "first paid App, first month" revenue poll draws a clear linear picture thus far. Most didn't even make $25. bit.ly/aIRXIL
  12. Apress is pushing (me) hard to get Learn Cocos2D 3rd edition (Cocos2D 2.0, ARC, Kobold2D, Xcode 4.3) out soon. Current ETA is late July.
  13. @roosteramagame I think the book you're looking for is Business of (iOS) App Development: bit.ly/ISWjVA
  14. @hermanjakobi for Lua you could run luac over the lua files as a script build phase to check syntax
  15. @tranqy that's a good point, I'd rather have an app make $300 constantly than $3,000 at first and then barely anything ever again
  16. so far most devs made between $100 and $250 with their first paid app in the first month. How much did you make? bit.ly/aIRXIL
  17. @hermanjakobi I use sublime text 2 for editing lua files
  18. @hermanjakobi you can't, Xcode 4 took away syntax highlighting customizations. "Applescript uncompiled source" works best with Lua though.
  19. @KrauseFx it shouldn't take long to move code from cocos2d to Kobold2D, I do it often. Just need to get rid of appdelegate, use config.lua
