Ape home entertainment Doesn’t meet promised release dates Last Month

remember when I asked what was going on with Ape home entertainment a couple of weeks ago? as well as they showed up at one more site to say they were still publishing as well as were “planning the release of our ‘Fruit Ninja’ comic app [announced July 2012] at the end of January”?

Now that we’re well into February, searching “fruit ninja comic” in both the iOS app store as well as Google Play store turns up nothing relevant. Previously, Ape released a similar “Pocket God” comic for Apple devices through iVerse Media, so I checked that developer’s list, as well as nothing there either. There have been no website, Twitter, or Facebook updates.

Now, I’m not trying to be mean. When you’re talking apps, there are various approvals that might delay releases unexpectedly. (And heck, I get mailings from much more than one comic publisher that are regularly a week early in their release date announcements.) I do want to make the point, though, that if your company appears to have disappeared, as well as you show up to say “no, it hasn’t!”, you ought to be darn sure that the promises you’re making can as well as will be fulfilled, since someone might choose to check them out. particularly if you want to show that you’re not gone.
