I am sorry if it is posted in a wrong place.
You know who defeated the ANGRY BIRDS the top & undefeatable game in itune chart? Not a big and experienced company but a kid who made his first game by grabing a book from a library for programing iphone games and toped the chart by more then 2 million downloads.
What it teaches 3dgs comunity? News source

Iam very sory for opening double thread iam using my mobile so i dont know what went wrong moderators please delet the 2nd thread. Sorry again

That's a big and great achievement, not only but esp. for a 14-year-old, but it does not teach me anything.

But it teaches me alot coz i thought u can only create a successful game by using the best engine available in the market and using expensive tools & lots of experience. But it shows me i was wrong a simple idea with basic programing can top the chart. Isn't it?

Really impressive for a 14 year old indeed (although he looks kinda younger on the picture o_O).

But to be honest, he kicked angry bird on the "free app" list, not on the paid ones. I doubt he would have get as many downloads if it wasn't for free so yeah, not sure if you can consider this a super huge achievement

@captain kiyaku: No for a market like itune app store whth so huge and very fast growing competetors reaching even a few thousand customers is considered as an achivement. And from marketing point of view he has a bright future with 2 million customers available to advertise for his future paid projects. It is a big success only big proffessional companies achieve.

it only teaches us that the indie market gets corrupted by the usual marketing demon.
meaning that the game itself doesnt matter anymore but the story behind it gets sold.

and that yet again there are enough idiots around to follow this shit and beg for more.

next will be the 7 year old orphan twins who where sepperated during cold war and composed a game together whilst being in jail. and this amazing huge game will be....another marble madness with bad art and design.

may god save and shelter stupidity and idiocracy.

It sounds like this story is made up to better sell the 2d engine behind this game.

But from reading through their docs it also tought me how easy their sdk and Lua looks.

Yeah so what? People on the App Store buy also Doodle Jump, so there is nothing special in this.
Oh and if you really think people on the App Store are sane, read the "reviews" about the "games", they are all crazy and stupid assholes.

@romin2011: Well, it's good you learned that. A good idea, that is well performed, or performed at all, can generate amazing results. Luckily you have one of the best engine and editors there is: 3DGS.
