Hello,

You can now play Flying Zuzzi on your iPad just search for the game under iPhone apps in the iPad AppStore. It is not yet a native app but it looks good.

Flying Zuzzi

As I was building this app it occurred to me that I need to add some features to it but was it a good ideea to extend an existing app? is this app to much of a copy? do people only create this Flappy Bird game to gain profit ? where is my passion ? what can I bring to the AppStore to be fresh and new?

This are just a few of the questions to which I try to find answers. So I decided to create a final version of my first app ,Flying Zuzzi and move on to something great. I had plans on how to expand this game and make it better but it will never outpass Flappy Bird and its not my idea which makes me feel sad that I will always be in the shadow of the first developer who created this game.

Moving forward I have some good ideas for games and apps so stay true to your passion and find your own way that will bring you joy and fulfillment.

All the best to you,

Vio

The road to my first app

Hello,

The first time I had my own PC was aroud the year 2000. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was coming up the stairs when I heard my mom say “Come quick we have a suprise for you”. Thinking it is a toy or a tv I would have never imagined it is a PC. It was 486 PC with a 15 inch monitor all white, all shiny. I think a tear of joy was sitting in the corner of my eye and I was stunned for a few minutes.

Since then I always wanted to unterstand how it works and how can I alter the code and create my own programs. My imagination was working non stop thinking of what I could build  starting from creating cool things and pushing it near to hacking NASA :))

Trying to control the software I attended a highschool with extra courses on Computer Science and there I found pascal program. With this choice I hit a wall because it was never how I imagined it would be.

Four years later I thought I could create robots to interact with the world but yet again I hit wall. After the four years at the university I realized that my dreams and my ideas will never be understood by any school. So I pursued my other passion which was web development which I still enjoy today. But, on the back of my head,  I was always thinking for something that could offer me the chance to build something from my own ideas and imagination, something where the possibilities are endless. And then I found Apple Developer program.

While proving  myself that I can really create games, Flying Zuzzi emerged.

Hello people,

Flying Zuzzi

Flying Zuzzi Episode I

This is my first app so please be gentle with Zuzzi as she tries to escape the high gardens where she was held captive by her evil twin Zantos. The story begins in a small kingdom of flufy and colourful animals. King Zantinii had twins, Zuzzi and Zantos and because Zuzzi was first born she was the true heir of the kingdom but her brother Zantos never agreed with this and he was mean with Zuzzi so after the king died he took Zuzzi in the High Gardens of Rocky Mountains and took the throne for himself.

This is just a snippet of the story that follows. So stay tuned and subscribe for the future episodes of Flying Zuzzi.
