After months of being in app approval limbo for months, my side iOS game project, Lost In Space: Zero Gravity, is now available for download on the iTunes App Store!
Tomorrow I'll be headed back to school at Becker College in Worcester, MA. I'll be majoring in Game Production and Management, which is a hybrid of business management, marketing and project management majors. Last year, I took a year off to set my mind straight, decide 100% on what I want to major in, and to also get a few personal things done. As I start the school year off, I've decided to set some personal goals for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year. Ultimately, I want to set these goals to test myself and achieve some great things over these next two semesters. Here they are: Release Two Games on iOS - Also Get iOS License I want to release a few games in iOS this year. That will involve me getting my own personal iOS license. I really like making games, but actually polishing them up, being able to release it,…

While the majority of that time was on-and-off concepting and design, the past two months were pure development full time under Mass DiGI's Summer Innovation Program. We spent those two months executing on the plans we constructed months back by creating art, writing code, designing levels and obtaining coverage for the game. These last two weeks of game development (and the next one, one and a half, maybe) however have and will be been pure polish and wrapping up of Wobbles, getting it ready to submit to Apple and Google Play (among other Android marketplaces) and shipping the project.
