Hey all! It’s not exactly a game but my first iPhone app has gone live in the app store. The Brainstormer is an idea generator for artists or writers or perhaps even game developers …. hehehehe

It’s kind of a simple little toy, but we ended up putting a lot of stuff in there by the end. It’s a lot of fun and was a good project to get me started with Obj-C and OpenGL-ES and stuff, and I find it pretty useful to generate ideas and stuff.

All the art and design was done by Andrew Bosley, the creator of the original brainstormer. You can check out Andrew’s site here. You can also try out the flash-based web version of the brainstormer on his site as well: linky.

I haven’t tried this out for making game ideas, but it seems like it would be a good fit. Let me know if you try it.

So what’s next for me? Well, short term I’m working on getting a real blog set up so I can show up on the planet ludum. I’m also well underway on my NEXT project which is an actual game (a spin-off from one of my mini-LD ideas that I didn’t finish). More info and screenshots when they exist!

Thanks!
