Halloween Apps?

Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone else is going to be making a Halloween app this year?

I started on mine today - well, the artwork - not the actual game just yet - and it's looking good, I think.

Anywho, I took a break from resizing things to see what kind of a name I could get and was astounded to get what I thought was a really obvious Halloween name, yet it had not been taken. I'd post what it is but after yesterday I don't want to see "XYZ!" pop up ;)

*Side note: I only realized this when I woke up today, but the rip off game actually had nothing to do with zombies at all. There was a camo soldier, some pirates, ninjas, etc.... No zombies. XD Yeah, that name was well suited :P

So - I was wondering who else is going to be making a game, and if so if they're started yet.

I was going to ask as well, as I never remember - if I set my release date as say, October 28th, and my app is approved on October 21st for example - will it show up in New Releases when the 28th rolls around?

Ok, back to resizing >.<'

Peach.

    Hey, so am I.

    One of you is going to have to use an explanation point at the end. I'd suggest you don't discuss it, just see who can make a placeholder app spot in ITC first.

    While I feel your names are both oddly familiar to me, I am also very impressed - they are inspired!

    I am indeed making a Halloween app for this holiday. I actually started it a few months ago and now I plant to finally finish it!

    I can tell you that it can be profitable if you time it correctly.

    With only a few hours' time last year, I created a $0.99 app and released it two weeks before Halloween. Within three weeks, I made $800 on it.

    I had updated Ghost Words with Halloween as a keyword when I put in motion detection.

    Mind me asking what app?

    Mine has basically been, or will be, a 24 hour project in terms of actual hours invested - it's nothing mind blowing but I think it's looking very friendly and Halloween-ish so far.

    I'm planning on doing my iPhone one at 99c and my iPad one at $1.99 - I think. I'm a bit torn on it.
