Show HN: New iOS game by Blue Frog Gaming (YC Summer 07) (opens in new tab)

Just curious, I'm currently in the works of publishing my first game with my brother. We started our company a couple months back, and the idea of applying to Y Combinator and/or seeking funding popped up. We decided to just work part-time and spend the rest of the time working on our product. From my understanding, I thought that most VCs/incubators don't really go for the gaming startup whose plan is to just create and publish games (which is what my brother and I are doing), since most gaming companies don't really "explode" and get bought out. Did you guys do anything specific when you pitched your startup to YC? How did you convince them to fund a gaming startup?

I love this cartoon style game art.

How is the artwork for a game like this done? Do you draw it by hand and scan it in and color it in Photoshop? Is it all all done on the computer?

I'm just curious about technique. Creating graphics is one of the hardest things to do as an indie game developer.

Do you have any plans for an Android port? Nice artwork.
