This journal is a belated apology and farewell to Deviant Art! I have been here for 15 years (remember my account geN8Hedgehog?), then moved accounts to this one when I wanted to break away from being a "Sonic Fan-Artist" and develop my own art style. I have never been very active or respondent but I have always appreciated the kind words, the community, and the llamas =) 

If you would like to continue to follow my art, please come and check out my twitter miss_gen8 Twitter 

I hope to see you there! pink heart {big} ~ gen8

We are pleased to announce that the Anime Face Maker GO app has just released for iOS, available on the iTunes store as of today! Thank you to everyone who has supported the Android version (150k+ downloads!), and we hope that Apple users are now able to enjoy AFMGO too =D

--NOTES FROM KRITTER
Thanks to all the support from everyone who has enjoyed the Android version. Also apologies to those who have experienced issues with it too... it's our first app and it's a RAM hog so if your phone isn't up to scratch then there's not much I can do I'm afraid. Still, it's encouraging to see all the support we've received on the app so far! 
As a note to those who try the iOS version, there's already a bug I'm aware of and that's the fact that in-app purchases to disable the ads currently doesn't work and I'll have a fix for that as soon as I can. Unfortunately developing for Apple products is all new to me and I've been bodging the whole thing as I go along basically, so I can only apologise for the teething troubles.

I also have to apologise for the time it's taken to get it out the door, it took a LOT longer (and a lot more hair pulling) than I had anticipated, but it was a learning experience at least. Any future apps we develop would likely launch side by side. Aside from that though, hope you enjoy the app and let us know what you think or if you find any bugs! Feedback of all kinds is always appreciated.

It's been a long time coming so I hope we've done a good job!

Mac OS X Icon mini To download the Apple iOS version please go to itunes.apple.com/au/app/anime-…

Android Icon mini If you'd like to download the Android version please go to play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Of course, the app is still completely free, but if you'd like to disable ads (them pesky ads!) you are able to purchase it from within the game.

Thank you in anticipation of your support and feedback, I hope it was worth the wait ^^

On a side note, I unfortunately haven't been art-ing much this year, I've lost a bit of mojo for it and can only manage scribbles. Sorry for lack of gallery updates, I quite seriously have nothing to show for being 4 months in to 2017 ;_;
Art aside I've been filling my time with playing the Switch, working, and child-wrangling Mr. 3 and a 1/2. Not much time for anything else, which is typical of my life somehow!

The app has only been out for a little while, so after a bit of feedback we decided to alter the LITE version of the Anime Face Maker to include ALL items and everything else. Basically this means it's now FREE!! It does contain ads now which is the compromise we've made, but hopefully that won't deter people from giving it a try! :) We're still learning as we go making apps, but we'll use what we've learned from this experience on any apps we make going forward.

The paid version is still available and has no ads if you're keen to play it without being bugged or just want to support us!

If you'd like to play the FREE version please go to play.google.com/store/apps/det…

For the ad free (paid) version please head to play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Thanks for all the feedback and support so far!

I know it's only been a few days since the last journal, but everything moved very quickly on the business front and it seemed like a good time to get the game out by Xmas.
The Anime Face Maker GO full and lite versions are now available to download on the Google Play Store for your Android device!!

For the full version please head to play.google.com/store/apps/det…

If you'd like to try the lite (demo) version please go to play.google.com/store/apps/det…

A million thanks to you all for supporting this journey, offering feedback, and anticipation! I hope you enjoy the game, and if you can support us with a purchase of the full version that would be much appreciated. Also keep in mind that we haven't forgotten about the iOS crowd and we'll hopefully have more to share on that in the future!

LETS GO!

Oh my, another journal that has taken nearly 6 months to write! As you can see I'm here very little these days, just popping in to submit art and then scurrying away again. 

Xmas is almost upon us with one week to go, I can't believe it's nearly here! My day will be full of tidying up wrapping paper and possibly eating too much trifle. It's always fascinating to think the world celebrates the holidays so differently, especially since Aussie land is so hot this time of year. No snow and turduckens for us, the menu is more pavlova and prawns and BBQs =D

On an amazingly exciting note, the Anime Face Maker GO has been back in full production this last month or so. Kritter and I have been hard at work on it (in our couple of hours of time per night!) and I'm very pleased to say it is oh so close to release day. We're pushing for it by the end of the year still but boring business stuff seems to be taking a while to sort out. At the moment it's sitting in Beta, and we're testing the google play store listing and all of the other developer stuff that is needed. 

I can give some definite details on it now though:

There will be two versions available for download - Anime Face Maker GO LITE and Anime Face Maker GO. 
The LITE version contains no ads, but has content locked off that is only available in the full version. There are no in-app purchases.
The FULL version will cost USD 1.49
Both will be available on the Google Play Store (iOS to follow, watch this space!)


As you can see, we've decided on launching two versions of the game so that everyone could try it out. Initially it was intended to only be paid, but having a LITE version will allow people to see if they like it and if they do, they can commit to buying the full version (which is choc-full of items so I think it's worth it!)

I wish I could show you right now, I really do. We're so excited and it's looking like a real thing, I think that's why we're working so hard to get it live. As soon as it's available I will be back with a link and more information. In the meantime I appreciate your patience and hope you think it's worth the wait when it does finally get here!
