Take a look at the new gameplay trailer as you download:

Pheuuu! That was a long week that passed. Worked all day for most of the last days to get the update for Pop Corny ready, but I think that it was totally worth it.

Many things were added to the game since the last version 1.2, so much actually that this is called version 2.0! Players will enjoy new stages, new weapons, new bonuses, new objectives, new boxes, on and on. Beta testers were truly excited with it.

The update is now under review from Apple’s trusty reviewers, and I expect the update to be released on Friday. So hold tight.

At the moment I am creating a gameplay video that I will post the day the new release comes out, but I will stop now to go watch the million of dollars that Double Fine has made at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/66710809/double-fine-adventure. They will have a live video stream from the offices as the kickstarter project comes to an end. (only 4 hours left).

I am proud to announce to you the release of my first game “Pop Corny”.

The game was released earlier today and the response was overwhelming! The game managed to hit #1 Top Paid Game on both iPhone and iPad in a few hours and #2 in Top Paid across all app categories on the Greek AppStore.

The reviews are all 5 stars until now, and players seem to totaly dig it! We hope you will like it, too!

I spent the last week trying out web frameworks. I thought it was time to move on from my own hacked PHP scripts to something more elaborate. The first framework I was really eager to checkout was ofcourse the under every stone Ruby on Rails! The main reason was all the talks about it, along with the fact that I was very interested in the Ruby language.

I started by installing Ruby and then Rails on my system, and started following the famous Rails screencasts. I was going to create a Weblog application in 15min! So exciting! Unfortunately it just didn’t happen. Things started to get a bit hairy. It seems that there was a huge difference in the version the screencaster was using the version I was using. In version 2.0 of Rails the creators decided to change the scaffolding technique completely. So now you can’t follow the screencast. It is also very hard to find a tutorial to get you started, not to mention a good tutorial!

All in all I also completely scanned the internet for information but I didn’t find very good sources of info. The main site , other that the screencasts, has the Rails API documentation which is obviously not the way to start! I turned to books. The “Agile Web Development with Rails” I learned about Rails through that, even if that is also for the old version of Rails.

But going all over the internet, I got to find out about Zed Shaw. Read the rest of this entry »
