Blog #41: Problems with iOS account

​Hi players,

last week we did everything for running our first game on iOS device. 
We have succeeded with porting our game Pyramid Builder but as there are still some problems we have to continue.

As many of you surely know Antiboredom Studio is project of one developer Jakub Bouska presenting himself and his friends as Antiboredom Studio.
You can see on our Google Play page that we release our games with this nickname.
Last week we have tried to prepare our developer account for iOS same way. 
But there were problems. Apple has really strict rules and so we tried to write on developers support if there is possibility that individual can release his apps with some other developer account name that is his real name.
Their response wasn't so satisfying.

They wrote:
"Regarding the name associated to your account, as individual you must use your full legal name as seller, the only way to use a company name is to migrate from individual to company."

But as we have almost zero incomes from our apps, there is no company named Antiboredom Studio yet. We would really love to do that but there would be more negatives than positives.
So we must decide if we want to release our games under individual account named Jakub Bouska or create a company which would be in red numbers from its start.
As Apple has only about 15% market share of mobile phones we think that we can satisfy with first option until we will be able to start a company.
Maybe even you Apple guys will se us as Antiboredom Studio one day :)
(Or maybe there will be some angel which will help us with creating Antiboredom Studio as a company :-) )

Second think we wanted from Apple developer support is that we bought our developer account almost a year ago and we didn't used it at all for almost whole the year so we asked them if there is some possibility that they would extend our license. 
Their response was also negative :-(
As their policy says we have to buy new license per 100$/year.

Last think we want to say this week is that we ended our cooperation with our graphic designer Michal for his inactivity and inabitity to communicate. We must say that we are sorry but there was no invention from his site.

​Have a nice week,
Antiboredom Studio
