Antair Games An independent game developer blog

After a lot of back and forth, I think we’ve settled on the next game after Sneezies… I’m looking forward to having some fun with prototyping again. We did have a few other things on the go and in mind to come next, but we cleaned house a little after Sneezies came out. Now we only have various flavors of awesome left on our plates.

I went on a Twitter following binge this week, after finding a whole new world of iPhone and Mac developers on there. Also tried out @MrTweet, to expand my horizons a little. That was kind of fun, but it would be easy to lose a lot of time or completely over-subscribe if not used carefully. A nice side bonus was that it showed me there were people I recognized following me who I’d forgot to follow back (sorry), not sure how that happened.

I need to find my coding mojo over the weekend, I know I left it around here somewhere, and get next week off to a better start.

I mentioned the other week about Andy Brice’s charity T-shirts for programmers drive. Well, he’s teamed up with Patrick McKenzie to push it a little further with a dedicated site: Programmer T-Shirts.

Last year Web Designer Wall did a great roundup of the best CSS design, and they’ve done another one for the best CSS of 2008, a great way to see the years design trends, what’s hot etc.

Another great design tour video from Wolfire: Knytt Stories Design Tour.

I know Mario theme renditions are all over the place and a probably getting a bit old hat, but I love this one:-

The app store pricing issue is still a hot blog topic. This one, Financial Realities of the App Store, is a great read. Veiled Games just weighed in too, (the link includes the first video of their new game, Up There, and a bunch of links to more reading on the subject). We went through all the same pricing considerations with Sneezies in the run up to launch, it’s tough. Hopefully the landscape will be a bit clearer when our next game is done.
