How did you get into developing apps?
Grasshorse:
Well, Grasshorse™ is an animation, design and technology company. We have worked on projects ranging from 2D, 3D, stop motion, CG/visual effects and hybrid projects, as well as, interactive projects on the web, online games, stereoscopic production and color correction. We really have our eye on emerging media and technology. It was a logical step for us to get into developing apps, so we created our mobile division, Grasshorse Mobile™. We really do have the perfect combination of designers, programmers and animators to make it happen, so we took the plunge and are enjoying our journey.

What was your inspiration for developing this app?
Grasshorse:
Poke My Voodoo™ was inspired by work we did on a webisode for a brand called Skelanimals… it reminds us of Hello Kitty, only dead. They started off primarily as a merchandise line in Hot Topic stores and has really picked up in popularity and visibility… especially with a niche audience of ‘tweens and teens. We realized the audience is hungry and we created our Poke My Voodoo brand to cater to them… the angst ridden teen. Poke My Voodoo is a cute, creepy and funny way to hex or charm yourself, your friends or who ever!

How long did it take to develop the app?
Grasshorse:
We had a bit of a learning curve due to this being our premier app. It took us about six weeks to have it ready for the iPhone and about seven weeks for the Android.

Do you plan to develop any new apps?
Grasshorse:
Absolutely! We are currently finishing up an app for one of our brands called ShBoinks™. The app is called “Katooba’s Cotton Candy Caper” which is a top-down flier style game that is really heavy on the accelerometer use. We have a good number of game modes, so as you progress it becomes more and more challenging and it really starts to get addictive! However, it is user-friendly enough in normal mode that it can be played by anyone. Beyond that, we are in the concept stages for a few other apps, but nothing we can release at this point.
