Just thought I'd share the dock I made with you guys. It's made out of Lego. I don't know why I wasted so much time making it, probably because of upcoming exams. But yeah, tell me what you think.
well jealous! getting my Lego out today
wow... i like this..
LOL that's awesome. Now, where did my mum put all my old Lego blocks haha...
ingenious, id prefer a plastic or wooden version
but a great reason to take out the lego once more
lol what ever you get in your exams, at an a+ for this
freaking sweet
Haha this looks cool I want one for sure.
Hey all,
I've been gathering valuable information from the forums even before i signed up as a member and the amount and the quality of helpful information here is amazing.
I never had any info to give back to the community in the subjects that i was reading up on, so when i created this i figured i should share it here.
Its an adjustable mobile stand made from LEGO parts. It can cradle a big number of slate phones, in landscape and in portrait without modifications, although with small modifications it can cradle pretty much every phone out there.
It was originally made to cradle my N1 for some Wiimote emulator action but anybody can use it in their own way.
Here is a video of it in action and a link for build instructions over at instructables http://www.instructables.com/id/Retro-gamer-adjustable-mobile-stand/
I love it! Seeing those retro style pieces really takes me back
I'm not gonna lie. This is pretty awesome.
love these threads featuring custome made holders. and the lego bricks reminds me of the "technical" sets i used to have. well done mate
thnx all!
yeah its primarily built from LEGO Technic parts.
i had a blast taking out my LEGO, it had been a while
They are very nice...
Sweet... that is nerd-tastic!
makes me want to crack out my old technix sets.... just need the lego motor kit
Very cool function & look!

if you are referring to the yellow gear assembly part, i have made instructions on how to build that with regular bricks!
if you're talking about motorizing this that would be awesome
i didn't find my LEGO motor. i would so make a mod with the motor just for kicks. not very portable but it would be very cool!
looks awesome
now thats interesting
nice but i'd rather use a dedicated dock....
Whoa, im never thought about it...
Yeeaaahhh...
make itt....
enjoy the build!
Hi,
awesome work, but please could you post the instructions here? I have no facebook account and couldn't open them over at instructables.
Thanks!
my god..
THIS IS AMAZING
im gonna make one too, i love this
Hi,
this is by me pretty awesome, I cant stop laught, you know it is not funny, but I really like it, such a shame that I dont have any Lego parts know :-(
Thank you for sharing ;-)
This made it to the portal ! : )
Your work is phenomenal, I love that idea!
See you can buy individually from Lego... sweet!
That is sexy!
Can anyone recommend an equivalent app that works for the xoom.
My 3 year old son loves star walk on my iphone, mainly the planets being able to get nice detailed image. The 3D srolling planet and being able to pinch zoom. He's a bright lad and sussed the app out so would love something to put on my xoom to let him play with.
I know there is another app that apple featured on their ipad commercial but haven't seen it, nor can I remember its name to search for android equivilant.
If there is an app that springs to mind but not avalible for honeycomb i've got a dell streak to try it out on and wait for the HC update.

The closest I have found is Star Chart. Still not as good as Star Walk though. But coming along nicely.

Thanks for the recommendation, tried the app but felt let down, very unpolished and not enough images of the planets for my sons liking.
Anyone else recommend anything?

Aww, thanks We're glad your kid plays with Star Walk, it's always so nice to hear! As we have so many requests on Star Walk for Android, we might consider this thing))
sounds good to me

I'll by it for the reason alone that there is a developer actively interacting with their (potential) consumer base. All too often developers ignore potential markets and opportunities to attract new customers.

So this answer was posted a year ago. Really there is nothing even close to Star Walk for androids out there. Is there a chance you guys are working on this?
Add my vote...
my vote as well! We need this app for android!
another +1 here!
There is a very good "SkySafari" app.
I wrote a request to VITO Technology for an Android version of their Star Walk, but no reply.
Star Chart is something similar but Star Walks is totally complete. I wonder how is it possible that some apps still not find place in the Android world.
Please.... People need this app "star walker" on their Android phones.
So... I would add my vote to the others and give this thread a refresh.
Hey Guys,
Really loving this community! We released this game on the market last Thursday and only have 12 downloads ATM! We must have screwed something up royally but the only feedback we've had so far has been positive. Perhaps its the name of the game? Or maybe the graphics just look terrible, or what?
Any new name suggestions?
Thanks for any feedback you have!
Erik
Checked it out. I can see where it would be addicting and I'll likely keep it. Honestly though if I wouldn't have stumbled upon your thread here and came across it on the market, I would have never downloaded it. Icon is good but I think the name is what would make me skip it. I don't have any specific suggestions, just try to be a bit more descriptive of what the point is in the title. Also, the menu is a little hard to read and could be confusing for some people I guess. Hope I helped!

The "Fun for all ages" and "Cute fun" text makes me kinda go "eww, a family-friendly game". I think it'd be better off without it at all. A description of what you actually do in the game would be helpful, too.
You cant read the font on LDPI and I would agree with the change of title.
I've not played the game and I don't need too to form an opinion. That is the biggest problem with this game and any game for that matter. People do judge games by their "cover" until of course they get big enough to be talked about/reviewed etc.
It seems to me that you're not really sure who you are aiming the game at. You use graphics that imply this is aimed at 9 year old girls but the language is for geeky teenage boys (and older) with terms like "Rockstah bunneh," or something to that effect.
Look at the comments you have so far (assuming they are not your friends!) They all use wording such as "so cute" "adorable." If this is the route you want to go down then you need to go the whole hog and really target the one specific market.
It takes something very special to appeal to everyone and it may be unrealistic to try on your first game (assuming it is.)
Now I don't mean to sound harsh or overly critical, but this is a game I would never dream of downloading and it appears i'm not alone. With a few tweaks here and there I still wouldn't download it but maybe another demographic would and you could be very successful.
As a final note I could be talking rubbish as I have no particular expertise in the area and your only problem is getting your game recognised in an already over crowded market.
Good luck.

Hello everyone. Firstly i checked it out and have an idea i think you must add an option like using sensors to control the game and maybe the font can be changed.
Maybe then i can help better with my ideas.
Good luck.

This is perfect feedback! Thanks
Now that you said it, I wouldn't ever download a family game either!
I think it was this game i saw on the market this weekend. I was searching for games to play since i had gotten a new ROM and wanted to settle in. I saw the name, saw the icon and the first thought through my mind was "it's probably a little kids game" and instantly just ignored it. I can see how the icon would match the game itself, but the name is just... ehh...
We updated the name and feature graphic. Keep the feedback coming and feel free to make it brutal!
Hopefully with the humor on the graphic people won't think its just for kids?
Just tried it. The game itself is nicely made, but it's not the type of game i would normally play. I see that you have changed some stuff (but not released the update yet) so i can't say if it's better after the changes, but one thing is sure, it needs so much more blood. I want the bunnies to pop like a balloon when they fall to their death.
Fine, i'm joking. Or not?

That would be a lot of fun to make as a separate app, what could we call it?
Maybe I'm just crap at this game but it seems pretty hard...can't get past level 2 haha

Hey there, sorry for you, but dont give up.
I am pretty sure its the bunny on the icon and the first splash screen. It neither sweet nor serious. Its rather a bit scary. ;-)
Try to change this. In my view the little bunnies ingame are sweeter than the one in the icon.
Good luck!

I agree in title change too. Don't give up, the market is also not über easy to find new games sometimes cause they get lost in the sauce quickly.

Use proper English in the description, call it something catchy instead like Foxes'n'Bunnies (REALLY bad example I know, but you can most likely catch my drift), and I would make a more rounded corner icon
I know others have mentioned it, but I'm throwing another vote in for a change to the title and the general copy of the description.
Currently, the description is vague and comes across as unprofessional. The description gives little information about the mechanics of the game, or even the style of gameplay (does it resemble a puzzle game? A 2D side-scroller? Is it controlled by tilt? Touch?). More information would be useful. The writing itself resembles internet memes more than a game advertisement. General touches such as cleaning up the writing (and perhaps removing the speech bubble over the rabbit's head; it looks like it was done in paint) can go a long way towards conveying professionalism from the developers, which helps consumers to trust both your legitimacy, and the legitimacy of the app. I looked over your website, and it does a solid job of being professional. The design seems reasonable (though I'm not a designer), and the writing is fine. This makes the copy that appears in the description somewhat more puzzling.
That said, it seems like you're on to some good things, and I have a great deal of respect for developers who turn to the community and look for honest feedback in order to improve. Thanks for all your hard work; I'll be keeping an eye out for your future projects. Good luck!
I would give it a better name, the current name isnt very easy to remember. A good name will help your game spread by word of mouth since people will be able to rattle off the name easier.
I'm not sure how app makes market their games, just getting it out here on XDA helps. You could start a thread over in the Android App Devs section if you havent already for your app. Theres a lot of apps out there and its hard to get something new noticed.
Definitely not my type of game. I'm 31 years old and write like a normal human being. I never understood the writing style in the game. It sounds like a 12 year old wrote it. If you took the physics behind the game and made another game themed around something artsy (check out a game called quell) you may get a different response.
I'd step away from the drawing board for a week our so and find someone artsy can look at the objective and build a different theme around it.
I have a few suggestions that may help you get attention.
1.) Better name. "Outfoxed" would be an excellent name.
out·fox
verb /ˌoutˈfäks/
outfoxed, past participle; outfoxed, past tense; outfoxes, 3rd person singular present; outfoxing, present participle
Defeat or deceive (someone) by being more clever or cunning than they are; outwit
2.) You must have a catchy description. "Outfox the sly fox before you become his next lunch."
3.) Please remove the baby talk and "internet meme" phrases. Most people wouldn't understand it and the ones that do would just get annoyed by it. It completely ruins it for most of us.
4.) While the newer icon is better, it still needs work. Try outlining the rabbit with a thicker black line in order to make it pop more. It blends into the background too much as it is.
5.) Social networking. Advertise your game on Twitter/Facebook/Google+. It wouldn't hurt to create a small website with a link to the Google Play download.
6.) Fix the menu screen. That font is terrible on the eyes. Clean it up and make it look more professional. The whole app screams "Coding 101 class project". Take some notes from the successful developers.
You have a good start, but without that extra push it will never go anywhere.
awesome awesome awesome feedback!
Thank you guys so much! We will remove the LOLCats speak, I didn't realize its like baby talk but I guess it makes sense.
Outfoxed! That's not bad
Hello, I'm posting this tread because I have searched every inch of the market/internet for a good First person-Role playing game in real time. I know about "Deadly dungeons", don't get me wrong it's a great game but its not in real time and not free roaming.
So, see that it might take awhile for someone to make said game, I've decided to make one myself. Only one problem. I don't know any code, and I suck at graphics. I'll be doing plots, quest, main quest, and music. So I'm looking for a team who would like to help me put this together. It will be a paid for app will a free trial so in the end, if it is any good there will be money. No guarantees thought. But seeing as it will be the first of it's kind, there is a good chance.
Imagine a game like "The Elder Scrolls" or like the iOS game "Necromancer's Rising". That is what I'm looking for. So if your interested in seeing this come to life, PM me and I'll give you my email ASAP.
Please, I know many people are waiting for such a game, and there is money in it IF it is completed and turns out well, but that all depends on how hard your willing to work. Think of how many "These guys just made my day for making this game" there will be. I personally am a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan, I mean I got every game. From Arena to Skyrim. That is what starting my love for, as I call them FPRTRPG games.
Hope to be hearing from you guys!
-Andrew
P.S If you are not interested, or not a developer or what now, please spreed the word, if you know someone who might want to help, tell them about this.
If you don't know any code and wouldn't be doing the graphics what exactly would your contribution be?
Yeah what you be contributing besides an idea? And if you can contribute and would like to make a team with some people, im starting to learn coding and would love to help out if i can. Pm me if interested

This would be awesome. I'd love a good first person RPG. I have not found a single RPG on Android I like. I like turn based but they are all the same now. I prefer real time RPGs. A game called Earth and Legacy is very close to what I want to play, but lacks a storyline. I can program but I am not familiar with building a gaming engine.

good point :/
Normally you would be right. But i thing this one's a bit different. Why? The author said it's a role playing game in 3D. Yep it's quite hard coding but don't forget about a plot... it would be freakin hard to think up entire world, characters, etc., etc... so his effort could be great, only if he has some ideas of course
If anything I could try to think of worlds names and the story plot , if it's needed. I've played MMORPG's all my life and know what's a good story plot and etc would be like
