PocketMatrix

Your theory on adult games sound interesting.. but as for the one that's on the page, it's too dark, if you had more light, she would look a LOT better.

Interesting how you try to attract people with "underwear on the 1st level" :P

Any screenshots?

(just kidding, but had to say it)

Heh there actually are on the official product page.

*shakes head* Sigh, remember when PurplePecker used to release stuff like this I'm guessing they didn't make enough money on this kinda stuff so they're going adult.

I certainly wouldnt buy from a company named purplepecker that has a picture of a dog in one of its games.

In all honesty, I love Adult PPC titles as much as the next guy. But if they couldnt sell their other software, by looking at their site, this doesnt look too promising either. A simple slide puzzle game with the model options of a young chick (Who looks likes she is approaching 30) some dude, and some granny.

Oh wow, my options are amazing, being that I'm not gay and like em w/o the liverwarts and false teeth, i guess I'll have one choice. I'm sorry, but AIM Productions has got Adult titles for the PPC down. I mean come on, I had my girlfriend playing Pocket Strip Poker and Chix. And who else but AIM would come up with the idea to make a game where u play a Dildo and you have to collect batteries so you can please a chick?

Best of luck to Purple Pecker, but if you wanna compete, you gotta at least approach the bar is not meet & raise it.

Good luck Barry. As they say "sex sells," so I hope this game will sell good too. But Solarix has a point. You really need some better models. Also, maybe you should put a sheep in there, Moose would like that (J/K Moose) .

Hey I have an idea for you Barry, if you can't find or afford hot chicks (who can?)

Make the models anime girls. I know of alot of people who have huge collections of anime porn (I think it's called Hentai?). Just an idea.

Ahem...yes, hentai is the correct term...how I knew that...I do not know.

I consider most games that use sex to sell a "add-on" that will hopefully make up for inferior programming, but then again, they may just want to spread the nudes. LOL

No, good programming I'm sure.

Don't you people like real human beings?

Bloomin' Heck, I did not expect this much response and thankfully it is not all negative!!

Let me explain, the name PurplePecker was conceived in a pub with my girlfriend - now my wife. We both love the color purple and wanted something to go with it, all the best options had been taken (PurpleSoftware etc). Whilst we were pondering a friend came to join us with a picture of a woodpecker on his T-Shirt, the rest is history.

As for trying the adult market, yes I was hoping that sex sells. I am currently in the process of packing and moving back to my home town. Tomorrow is my last day of full-time work and I would love to make a living from pocket pc's, but sales of my non-adult titles will not feed my family . Yes, SwapZee is a simple tile swapping game but in my opinion it has a graphically pleasing interface and a great sound track with good sound effects. All the decent technology is used (C++, FMOD, GAPI, InstallShield etc) and for $4.95 I believe it to be excellent value for money.

Naked models, what can I say.... you gets what you pay for and I did not pay a lot!! You try getting good looking models to take ALL their clothes off after telling them that they are going to be in a computer game and I am going to plaster her image all over the internet in a bid to sell my games!!

As for my programming capabilities I thank TechMage for defending my honour. I can not claim to be better than Dan East, Digby or Refractor simply because they answer my questions when I get stuck, I have yet to answer one of there questions If you want to see what I am capable of then look to CascataGames.com. Using their design and graphics I wrote CubeHead for them and am currently working on a space shooter called AstroWarrior which features 2 levels of parallax scrolling, an infinite universe, great weapon powerups and excellent game play, along with the cool graphics provided by Cascata and a superb sound track composed by Hasen.

I do have the greatest respect for AIM Productions. I have looked to them for inspiration especially for future adult titles, if there are going to be any. I have nearly finished SpunkInvaders which has a lot of humour but have halted development whilst I finish AstroWarrior and consider my place in the Pocket PC software market.

PurplePecker started out developing application software for Pocket PC's mainly because I have an application programming background (since 1988). Games are more challenging to write and give me a greater sense of satisfaction . I have a few ideas for applications which I want to write, but for the meantime I have to finish AstroWarrior.

When all said and done I am in this for the money. I love coding, it is my favorite state of mind and it is what I do best. If anyone wishes to contact me regarding future work, be it applications or games then please email me at purplepecker.com.

Thanks again for your responses and for reading this mini-novel
