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<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
