We’ve continued to work on this as time permits and we’re very happy with the results. While this game will ring familiar on the surface with well known games like Mafia Wars and their ilk, we’re striving to create a simple and accessible condensed MMORPG experience. We’re targeting the initial release to be on the [...]
Going waaaay back to 2009 Part12 Studios had wanted to make a “condensed mmo” rpg experience. Roger and I went through a hard core World of Warcraft phase. I remember how cool it was with the invention of the WoW Armory and this got us thinking about making “Wow Armory: The Game” providing a simplified [...]
Well the last few weeks have been very informative and exciting time for me as a mobile phone user. I’ve been itching to try some of the latest phones coming from iOS since the iPhone 4 first arrived on. A brief history before that, I had been a pretty hard core windows mobile user with Sprint.

These limitations vary from lack of IAP options for Windows 8, OSX and Android to performance problems with ports to platforms like Windows [...]

I’ve used GameSalad for the last 18 months or so and while I love working with it and continue to use it as a tool for prototyping, I also have had to deal with numerous shortcomings with it that make professional development simply not possible. That said, GameSalad is still a joy to work with [...]
This project has been in semi-stealth mode for awhile and now it’s time to talk more about it as we get further along. Finger King is a mock Japanese game show (complete with authentic Japanese dialog and voice overs) where you are a contestant playing the game to win fabulous prizes and keep lose as [...]
