It’s been an enormously long time since I posted up a decent blog. After about 5 years of various ideas, projects, games, websites, domains, plans, people and thoughts I finally shipped my first ever game (barring an old mod for unreal tournament).
It’s Fluttr! I decided about 3 weeks ago to just -do something-. I browsed iStock and came across an image which inspired a quick and simple game idea. I prototyped it in about 2 hours in TGB. I then played with the concept, got some help from a couple of work mates to help make it look good.
The game is quick, it’s simple and (hopefully) it’s fun. It seems like kids really enjoy it which is particularly satisfying. As soon as I made the game I figured we had to port it to the iPhone - one purchase of iTGB and 2 days later and the deed was done. It’s now waiting for approval from Apple. Suprisingly, the longest part of the whole process has been the last 10%. Resizing all the art assets, trimming the code files, finding platform installers, testing upgrades, updating the website to handle file downloads and getting all the bugs ironed and tested.
I’m glad to say most of that’s done. Although this release is a little bit “beta”, I’m mostly just glad to have been through the process from start to finish and get it shipped. It should be in the app store in a couple of weeks (fingers crossed!).
