I was happy to see that it was enjoyed by those who played it. When I saw that it had come in 8th in the category \u2018Audio\u2019 I rushed around telling everyone I knew.<\/p>\n<p>When the compo was over I decided that I would port it to iPhone. I didn\u2019t actually know anything about iOS development. My most relevant experience was C. I downloaded XCode and poked around a little bit and was quite intimidated.\u00a0I purchased \u2018Sams Teach yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 hours\u2019 and started going through the lessons and found by the 6th Chapter\/Hour I had learned enough to stumble through making the app.<\/p>\n<p>As most will relate to, this really is the start of the dream for me. Making a steady income to support me through making indie games. I do hope to make many more. If you played the entry and own an iPhone or iPad I hope you\u2019ll check it out and help me get it noticed. It seems like the app store is very overpopulated and it\u2019s easy to go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/drum-beat-evolution\/id595247351?mt=8&amp;uo=4\" title=\"Drum Beat Evolution\">Drum Beat Evolution!!!!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","time":"January 28th, 2013 5:19 pm","title":"Drum Beat Evolution!!!
