Dreams of a Geisha

My congratulations and good selling!

The last few days I looked for more information on the game and Google kept finding torrents and Rapidshare/Filesonic/etc. downloads of the beta and the final version of the game even on the first result page.

As I know this is standard situation for many BFG games... but this is not a problem, because people who buys games - will buy it, even if there is a cracked version

Excellent work! I'd love to get this game for my iPad. My fiance likes these kind of puzzle games so I'm sure I'll get her playing this one quite a bit.

When you get Lazarus/FPC to compile for iPad, you should do a small write-up of how you went about it, in your own version of course. I think it'd be great for all those creating iOS games to share their knowledge so that more Object Pascal games can be made for the iPad/iPhone.

Anybody here does have a Mac with OS 10.4 or a PowerPC Mac?

I need to test the Dreams of a Geisha build on older Mac OS and PowerPC Macs.

I do. I got a PowerMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.5 and some older G4 PowerPC Macs laying around. I think there is Mac OS X 10.4 installed on the older systems but I'm not sure.

Stoney...

The piracy of the Dreams of a Geisha was really high, I can find the Survey Build, Pre-Final build and the Final Build of Dreams of a Geisha in Torrent Sites!

But in my opinion, this does not affect the sales when you are using a big Publisher like Big Fish Games. Who does download the pirated version would not normally buy the game anyway, and the user base of Big Fish Games are huge. This itself already ensures good visibility and sales, even with the existence of Pirated versions.

But that would be entirely different if Dreams of a Game was self Published. It is really hard to make your game visible and popular (without a publisher) while most of the google search for your game name brings lots and lots of pirated links.

I doubt you'll have such issues with an iOS version being pirated. However there are all those jailbroken iOS devices out there.
