I've thought a bit about how you would structure something like this as a pro-bono service instead of a paid service. The thing I always struggle with is how to get people who currently lack the basic computer skills, math, and logic s

I've been going the other direction recently. We have a photoshop plugin that exports layers with metadata (where an image is located, fonts, font sizes, text, etc). For any platform that has a basic scene graph and some sort of label

I'll jump on the "use Unity" bandwagon. I've written mobile games with Flash/Air, natively (Obj-C), RubyMotion, and Unity. I enjoyed RubyMotion more than Obj-C but I'm currently using only Unity. Do you know ru

This reminds me a lot of sound effects in video games. At the high end you can hire a sound designer to do custom foley/SFX. For a small game, maybe $1-5k. Midrange, you can hire a sound designer with extensive knowledge to pick royalt

Feel a little baited and switched--I was hoping for an astronomy article!

seems kind of expensive for what it does. imagine a game with 100k DAU (big, but not huge) 2 sessions per user per day say 10 "saves" per session 100,000 * 2 * 10 = 2 million synchs / 10k * $0.15 = $30/day for $900/

If all of your layouts are created in code, every visual tweak requires an engineer. In general I will do almost anything to NOT have to lay out views by hand, as nothing slows a project down more than jumping into the tweak-a-magic-number-

I don't agree with the mirroring proposed by this post. A true mirror would be a Male Founders Conference focused on the problems that male founders specifically face (maybe dating / work-life balance / fatherhood / fitn

I had a Fujitsu Lifebook P1510 running Windows XP back in 2006... a 9" convertible tablet with a capacitive stylus. It's still my favorite machine that I've owned, and felt like the future (sitting on a couch, browsing the ne

How I perceived this article: I'm a thoughtful designer and pissed off that an "amateur" CEO is dipping her toes in my sandbox. Also, if I can bill a client for months of logo design and they see a Fortune 500 CEO doing it th

I think for that middle market you have to look within your organization. At my last job I ran an intro to procedural literacy (i.e. coding) tutorial for PMs, artists, and even accountants who wanted to learn a little bit about how to progr

While it may be a problem that top ten rankings can be bought (I haven't seen any evidence that it is a problem), without those organic downloads from the top of the charts it would be much much harder to build a growth business out of

I think when people say they dislike the "Top" lists, what they're really saying is "I'm already fairly well known and could easily get editorial featuring if we moved to an editorial-only model." This type of

Seems smart--most of what I use Yahoo for nowadays is content (Y!Sports, Y!Finance), and Tumblr adds a lot of content.

has anyone had success with an html5 game on ios? it seems viable for android (v8 yay!), but i haven't been satisfied at all with javascript performance on iOS. maybe for something that's turn-based and doesn't require slick transitions? (e

Good article. I've been working on a board game prototype on and off for a couple of years and have decks of cards with things taped on them that look very similar to your dice. My plan was to perfect the mechanics and then just make an iPa

Interesting that they broke it down into only two types of particles: moshing and not-moshing. In my experience there should be a third particle for the "border guards" -- the people who help keep the shape of the pit and actively push peop

I don't think it's that people are "mean" or less friendly than in the South--it's just harder to break through with strangers. People in general are a little less outgoing towards strangers (not sure if that's the right word, but can't thi

I grew up in cherokee county, went to UGA for undergrad and GT for grad school. Lived in midtown for a year and East Point for a year (it was cheap!). I came out to CA for a summer in undergrad and fell in love with the parks. Came out agai

I was thinking about this the other day from the opposite direction. Seeing the Salvation Army people outside grocery stores with the bells is a little sad now--because of inflation, the value of loose change just keeps going down and down.

I say I made Filler in around a month back in 2008, but really I made it one night--the prototype, anyway. From there it took a couple of nights & weekends to add some menus, ads, and high scores. I'd say I've booked somewhere in the ne

Cool stuff. I played around with SublimeText's SublimeGDB package and now have a visual way to set/maintain breakpoints. http://www.simianlogicstudios.com/2012/09/20/rubymotion-subl... Somebody more familiar with GDB could probably get th

I'm considering the 920 instead of the iPhone 5 (though I may come screaming back). For me it's comforting that the phone has some heft--most of the Samsung phones feel really cheap compared to the iPhone.
