Hot chicks - Android Version submitted

I was going to wait and post about this when i got some sort of reply. Only i cannot wait that long. I am way too excited, filled with trepidation about how it might not be accepted. As well as excitement that it could sail through and be published and wow, I could have my first titles on the Android marketplaces.

So i submitted last night to:

1. Google Marketplace. This cost 25 bucks to sign up as a developer and the process was very easy and rather painless. Only major thing of note was that i HAD to sign up for Google Checkout, something I have never used before. They asked for the usual submission artwork in various sizes, so I was busy creating them from my detailed pictures. Still pretty easy and painless. Once submitted the App goes into a 'Published' state, and there it is sitting right now. I am not sure what is next. I guess I'll post when i know what happens next.
2. Amazon Apps Store. The first year of publishing on Amazon is free currently, but otherwise should be 99 dollars for the developer license. This seemed a little bit more involved, but again was quite painless. Though knowing a date when you would want your App to be removed from the App store was a trick question I am sure! There were a couple of new art sizes I needed to create and again that was easy enough. the form seemed to be more intense than the Google one, but it did have one part i liked. It has at the bottom a box for you to add notes to the Test department in and also any special notes if it is an update etc. I loved these boxes and think they are missing from Google for some reason. Of course I added my thanks for testing the Game and also noted that it was primarily developed on the Kindle Fire (as that is their device! It never hurts to name drop).

The whole process seems really easy, I guess it should be, but I still feel like I may have made mistakes.

Tip:
Once the game goes live, check the Games App page/s and make sure the promo pictures you uploaded are being used in the way you expected. If not, it might be a good time to move them around Or alter them to better suit their usage by the publishers portal.

I will also mention that Mat at PocketeersLtd has just submitted his new 36 hour game! And he has also updated his Game Engine. You can check that out here www.DrMop.com .

So excited.....
