hey everyone i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or an already existing game for android with skateboarding?
I dont mean anything as facy as touch grind, but something similar?
Well anyways im going to try and create one so if you have ideas on how to make it run, please me know!
This is pretty old...
anyone?
I may or may not be working on a skateboarding game. It may or may not be like touch grind in 2-D.

Cool man. I'm running it on a 854x480 screen but I do have the emulator to test out other resolutions. Plus I have a 480x320 old phone that runs Android to test on. What resolution are those phones?
Its pretty fun to play right now, but really I can do all the testing myself for now... When I add obstacles and the ability to bail I will let you test. Got any cool suggestions? Or do you want to play with it first?
edit: forgot this is the Dream forum, if I'm here I should know the resolution. I just Google'd "Android skateboarding game" and this thread came up. I used to frequent the Vogue forums here.
Looks great, man. Wanna play this too!

Thanks but you ain't seen nothin yet. Check out all that I added in one week:
Skateboard Game for Android - Pre Release Video 2
Levels, physics, a character, and dancing! Anyone that wants to test this out on an older phone would be beneficial to the game. I've tested it on Incredible, Droid 1, and Droid X. The Droid X slows down to 10 FPS or below very often, thanks to the crappy software. The Droid gets ~30 fps and the Incredible gets ~40 to even 50 fps.
I'm going to wait another week at least before I let whoever contacts me to test this, since I have a few things to tweak and add before I will be happy with it. But let me know so I can put a list of emails for people who want to test. I might release it as a demo on the market in a few weeks, to get some early feedback before I build the full game.
I have a Dream and a Magic, I'll test it on both for you

Great! Message me with your email and I'll add you to the list of testers.
whoa
Wow this is looking good! I also found another person working on a skate game and it looks good too! I have a Nexus one if I can test on that too
Just some constructive critisism...(which I'm sure you already are doing by now and have completed ) maybe the person will have legs that bend and the board looks a little more realistic BUT im sure this is just an alpha and even the beta will be unreal!! good work man keep me posted with PMs too
Rofl, not bad. it has potential for sure!
you know what...
Right below this thread was the thread on getting a ps3 controller to run with android.....can I say EA SKATE?
New Thread!!!
I made a thread for this game in the Android Apps and Games section. Here's the link:

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

nice, there is another thread about this game i think. a guy was wondering why the game would crash on him lol. you should search for that thread and ask him to update his app.

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!
Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.
I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....
Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.
Name: Occupied
* Try the new ZEN levels! *
Try to keep the restrooms occupied in this addictive action game!
Pay attention to the funny level intros and then get everyone into the correct restroom as quickly as possible.
Memorize the positions so you can beat the level average and maybe even get to the top! There are leaderboards for each level as well as the whole game.
Use the early levels to learn and build your score. Later you will have to manage Androids, terrorists and kids in increasingly frantic levels with moving restrooms and failing lights.
*** ALREADY PLAYED BY OVER 100000 GAMERS ***
Features:
- 50 levels in 3 different packs!
- Four difficulties
- Global High-scores
- Top High-scores for each level
- Your score vs. the level average!

Occupied was updated with new Workout levels!
There is also a new level at the Airport if you can get to it
Very Fun Game
Im suprised that there aren't more feed back.
This game is fun I really enjoyed it and the way it has global scoring is a nice touch.
The update is nice. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it

Well there is feedback - I'm very happy about the reviews (there are over 300 worldwide).
I guess most people are OK with doing the review on the phone but are not that interested to interact via Twitter (@viyanodev) or here via a forum.
That's not ideal because I only get the feedback AFTER I've finished/updated the game instead of during the design.
Btw, how do you like the difficulty? Most people seem to like it but some say it's too hard. So I've modified the Relaxed/Easy modes ...
Like the game. Good stuff

Bears
Hi viyano,
I've seen you disappeared the last few days, probably enhancing Occupied even more ! I would like to make my request public
I want Bears !! hehe (and with a nice growling sound attached to it)
Once again, great game, keep working on it !!

hahaha yeah I know, just teasing you. I was hung up waiting for certification for my app and found a funny way to pass time (just kidding, I still want bears !!)
All the same, a few variations on the theme could improve the already good gameplay maybe !
By the way: stupid/drunk suggestion (hope you don't mind). When you/we get Mango, use the camera API to take shots of you and your friend and replace the head of the puppet with those

I'm an Solitaire Spider addict, so I wrote one for myself.
Here is market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.solitairespiderhd
The app was only tested on Transformer and in emulator and it's my first application on this platform, so I'm a little worried if I didn't make some mistakes. On Xoom it should work without problems, though.
UNDO is under back button, to move cards you have to drag and drop (I considered other methods but that seemed most natural). It should work also on smaller tablets but I have to test it more.
All feedback appreciated.

This is a great game. However, after playing for a while when I restarted a game the cards started stacking behind each other not on top.

Thanks for the information. I'll try to repeat this bug and fix it as soon as possible.
edit: I published a new version that should have this bug fixed - but it requires more testing.

Just a another question. It doesn't affect gameplay but the pics next to the New Medium and New Hard games don't match the suites played. New Medium shows all 4 suites and New Hard shows only 2 suites.

Also, are you able to disable the screen rotation or prevent the game resetting if you accidentally rotate the screen? Hope these suggestions are helpful.
Cheers
Thanks for suggestions. I'll fix the bugs after weekend. Saving game state is in plans (and I have to do something with rotating screen, I forgot to test how it behaves then).
Solitaire Spider had some updates since my last post. Meanwhile I made another, more complicated game - https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.memoryowlhd - Memory Owl HD. Check it out.
Just downloaded very nice game thanx
I just got some bad notes for my games - it really hurts. I hope people would add a review with information why they gave one star. The only explanation I got on one game was "it doesn't work on my phone" with no crash report, and no information on what phone.
Well, the question is - what should I fix in the Solitaire to make it better? It doesn't work fine on small phones, but I don't think I could fix that without, well, writing a new one (this is designed with tablets in mind) - I also don't want to block such devices, because well, for some it might work... Or maybe I should block normal screens?
What solitaires you like the best? I'm going to make a few others soon probably. Right now am working on Klondike, but don't know which are most popular... Aisle Riots maybe?
I made Klondike: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.klondikesolitairehd
And FreeCell: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.freecellhd
I'm working on a new Spider version similar to this FreeCell - with better cards for small phones and better usage of the screen estate. I'll post more info soon.

If you are asking, I found this game called 40 thieves and would love a cleaner looking version of that. Thanks for asking
Looks interesting like a mix between Spider and Klondike. I added it to the list, thanks.
Thank you. Let me know if you need a tester.

Hey guys there is a game on the marketplace now called 'Cell Free' which is a strategy/puzzle/action game like the cellular level of Spore!
The paid version seems to have almost exclusively 5 star ratings, and is now free. This is the quality of game that should actually be a Xbox Live game.
Also it doesn't seem to have any ads at all...
Check it out, it only has 60 levels but they are very fun!
Here is a link

really coool game...!!!
Wow!
This is my game, I made this... I was just getting around to posting a link only to see that it has already been done...
Thanks for the post man, I am so glad you and anandmalli like the game.
Well as you said it's free and also ad free, I just hope everyone has fun playing it. If it becomes at all popular I will be adding a few new levels and enemy types that I wanted to add but didn't have time for during development.
Thanks again.
What does everyone else think?
Any requests for features/improvements/ideas etc...?
Isn't it available in Germany? I can't seem to find it. -_-
Apparently the new version is Mango-only. I can only see the old paid version in the marketplace.
That's a shame, too, because it means it could be months before most WP7 users will see it.
