  • Decipher 1.0 Released!

    Happy day! Late last night Apple approved Decipher and it is now available for download from the App Store.

    Decipher is based off the classic puzzle game Mastermind, and the objective of the game is to guess the color pattern hidden at the top of the screen. There’s already an update with GUI improvements pending, naturally it’s a free update for everyone who buys version 1.0.

  • First iPhone Game

    Our first iPhone game will be hitting the app store in the next two weeks, it’s super basic, but for starting with no prior knowledge of Cocoa, I think it’s alright.

    Stay tuned for further details, and of course, a chance to win a free copy of our game!

    p.s. This whole process is hinged on Apple actually approving our app. Minor detail.

  • Metal Gear Solid Touch (?!)

    If you were waiting for the next big name publisher to make a game for the iPhone, wait no longer. Kojima Productions, developers of the much acclaimed Metal Gear series are bringing their stealth action shooter to the iPhone and iPod Touch. 1UP is reporting that the game will be based on characters from MGS4, that it will ship with 8 initial levels, and that there is precious little information available besides that.

    And if doesn’t do it for you, Konami is also bringing Dance Dance Revolution, Silent Hill, and Frogger to the iPhone.

    DDR? Really?At least the Tap Tap Revolution people were honest with their name.

  • Closer to OS X on the HP TouchSmart

    I’ve managed to get OS X installed on the HP TouchSmart IQ507, however I’m still having serious issues getting it to boot fully. Seems to hang right before it gets to the IOACPI phase of the boot process.

    There is good news though! I was able to get the touchscreen working under the OS X installer with very little work at all. Which bodes well for the full install, if I can ever get it to boot that is.

    So if anyone has any thoughts on the IOACPI issue, let me know.
