Game Talk...

Jul 17, 2008 by Bill Dudney

Had the great pleasure of being on the MyMac podcast here. Great fun! About 2/3's of the way through the show I come on and pontificate about how much you should buy Dot Game and Riddle Racer :)

Riddle Racer Lite

Jul 16, 2008 by Bill Dudney

Not knowing how to market an iPhone game we are trying having a lite version (iTunes link) of our Riddle Racer game (iTunes) with only 4 puzzles (instead of 40).

It's already had a lot more activity than the paid version so here's hoping it will generate sales. I'll post back here with results.

Software Summit

Jul 09, 2008 by Bill Dudney

Software Summit promises to be quite a great time (as always). I will be delivering a couple of iPhone talks (core animation of course, and core location). But there are tons of other great looking talks on web services and such from eBay, Yahoo! and others. It's always a great time. Hope to see you there!

iPhone Games

Jun 24, 2008 by Bill Dudney

So I'm more or less done with bringing 1 of our games (dot game, the only one to get staff pick) native as well as building a 'from scratch' puzzle game. I'm sorta struggling with what to do with that. Since the NDA is still in force can I post screen shots? I'm dying to. The puzzle game is fun and the dot game needs no introduction, anyone with kids has played the game with a crayon in a restaurant. Screen shots and such would be good so I could start to talk about the game. But it probably violates the NDA... Ah well I can wait another couple of weeks I guess. Here is hoping that July 11 is the end of the NDA...

Should this be a tweet instead?

iPhone Book in the works

Jun 16, 2008 by Bill Dudney

I'm really excited to announce that I've started work on an iPhone book for the Pragmatic Programmers. With the CA book more or less wrapped up I was getting a little bored being able to sleep more than 6 hrs a night so I signed up for something new. Until the NDA is lifted I can't say too much more but watch this space.

We (Chris, Marcel and I) don't yet now how the tech review process is going to work with the NDA but if you are interested in being part of the review team please send me an email (bdudney At mac Dot com) and I will make sure to let you know as soon as we know what the scoop is.
