Nothing beats getting a new phone. You wait and wait till that cell phone contract is up, so that you can get a great deal on whatever the hot new phone is at the Verizon Store. Well at the time my contract was up (Nov 2009), the 2 hot new phones at Verizon were the [...]
Minima Time is the first time I’ve ever really done anything with Flash. The game is doing decent on portals and I hope that eventually I’ll earn enough in the advertising to pay for the 5 days I dedicated to making the game. Here’s some of my thoughts looking back on releasing this flash game: [...]

Yesterday I spent a few hours trying to finalize the game and sure enough we ran into some major bugs and performance issues. This resulted in 2 major adjustments that made me sad.

Weapons are cool and right now I’m starting to think about all the weapons to include in the game. I don’t have any definitive weapons chosen yet, but I am pretty sure that in a sci-fi game lasers are a must. So I spent a few hours today implementing a laser effect. The laser can [...]
I’m really hesitant to post any pictures of this game since it is so early in development, but it seems to work for the Wolfire team ok and it will be great to follow the progress of the game from this early pre-alpha state through it’s release. Nothing in the above screen is final (pretty [...]
So I worked on this mobile solitaire idea for about 8 hours or so last week and got most of the mechanics working…enough so that I compiled the application and tried to get it working on my Blackberry Storm 2. This amounted to several hours of frustration, culminating in complete failure. The great thing about [...]
