ColorGuess Plus Compilation

Well, the big news we have been teasing the past few weeks is finally ready to be shared. The Developers of Symbiotic Studios are pleased to announce that a re-release of ColorGuess! is under development. 

This re-release is going to come packed with new features, and I'm going to share some of them with you now!

• A new scoring method is under development, I can tell you that the score will be capped, and the maximum score will be achievable. This means no more ever approaching infinity scoring algorithm!
  • ColorGuess! New Scoring Algorithm -- Part 1: Theory
  • ColorGuess! New Scoring Algorithm -- Part 2: Detailed Breakdown
• 2 new game modes are under development, I can tell you that they are called Blitz Mode and Challenge Mode. (More information to come.)
  • Challenge Mode: A Lesson Learned
  • A Little Bit About Blitz
• A complete aesthetic re-design for iOS 7 is coming. (More information to come.)

As opposed to doing this in an update, we have decided that in the name of science, that we want to stick this up as a sequel, with a price tag of $0.99. However, we are discussing a customer loyalty program for those of you out there that have kept ColorGuess! on their iOS devices, it means a lot to us that you have supported us in our first game.

So head on over and download ColorGuess! and give it a try. 

If there is anything, anything at all you feel is missing, or would like to see added to this re-release, please feel free to comment here, tweet at us @symbstudios or @hicksaustinj. We welcome your support and feedback, and would like to get everybody's wants into this game!

Along with all planned updates in game, ColorGuess! will officially be receiving a brand new dedicated webpage within out blog setting, so keep an eye out for that around December 13, if at all possible, it will come sooner with previews of the new game version. 

Thank you for your continued support, and check back often for more information regarding all of the planned additions. As of right now, our planned launch date is December 13, 2013. So mark your calendars!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers! 

While Matt and I have a lot to be thankful for individually, we want to take a second to thank all the people who visit our website on a regular or semi-regular basis. Our revenue has increased, and with that our motivation to continue to put out new and interesting content has increased as well. For that we wanted to say thank you.

Along with website content, our programming motivation has increased, and in the next few days we have an exciting announcement for all of you readers and players of our game, ColorGuess! So keep checking back here for information regarding that.

We hope you're having a great Thanksgiving with your families, whatever form those families take. Thank you for being supportive of us in this huge endeavor.

Welcome!

 Welcome one and all to the launch of our new and improved website! I wanted to take a brief moment to discuss the intentions of this site, as we have decided that something different is in order.

In the past our focus has been on our development strictly, but when development is slow, that does not gain much of an audience. So Matt and I hit the drawing board, and we decided to give this a try: we are going to blog as if we had our own blogs. We really want to develop ourselves as individuals within Symbiotic Studios, so that when Symbiotic Studios gets off the ground, our audience has a firm idea of who we are as people.

As such, please feel free to peruse our website as you wish. I have one simple request. If you find that you like our content, or you wish to support us in any way, please turn off your browser's AdBlock feature.
