OK, I'm a little confused...

My name is Graeme Sweet and I've got a small company named SweetScape which mainly focuses on selling applications (but I'm going to look at writing a game next). I just released our latest software last week called 010 Editor and decided I would go ahead and pay the $75 fee to add it to Download.com. Anyways, I went to Download.com and my program was already listed there! Has anyone ever heard of Download.com posting things for free? It looks like it was posted with the description from my website and only two days after the program was released! I logged into Upload.com and the program is listed in my account with the status of 'complimentary'. I did a little dance around the room when I found out it was up, but I'm still confused on what happened. Anyone have any ideas?

Strange. If I understand your post, download.com did this for you.
Perhaps it's a sort of christmas present :)

B.t.w. what kind of dance did you do ? :D The "hola hola" dance or the "cha cha" dance or some techno house :D

congratulations.... I'll check if my games are already listed too :D

This also happened for our game Solid Spheres (http://www.addictive247.co.uk/spheres.htm) a few days after we released it back in April.

Haven't got a clue why though!

Hi Addictive,

If I may ask, how many copies did you sell of Solid Spheres. I am very interested because I like the game very much. I like to know more about it succes, because of the shareware award you won.

Thanks in advance!

b.t.w. I am looking forward to your platform game :) If I am right it will be released in september/october.

Keep on the good work!

I mentioned rough sales figures in relation to the poll on these forums a while back.
Sales increased after winning the award but not as much as I'd like them to - more work needed on my part!

Coin World (http://www.addictive247.co.uk/coinworldpreview.htm) will hopefully be released before the end of September. If not it will definately be the first week in October.
Note: Screenshots on the Coin World page are very, very old!!

That character is what you get when you cross breed cool spot and a paracetamol :D

It was a little bit of disco style dance actually, with some of the 'eggbeater' move if you know what I'm talking about. :D

Glad to hear someone else has had the same experience that I did, Addictive. I thought I was crazy and paid by credit card one night while sleep-walking or something :). I guess it's a mystery what happened.

Cheers!
