I'm glad that I haven't gone to the effort of promoting the teaser for Crypt far and wide, 'cause the December release date is unfortunately not happening. Thankfully, I've only released a fairly nondescript teaser image, so I don't imagine that anyone has been waiting with extremely eager anticipation and is now totally crushed.
One thing that's clear to me now is that the games I try to make are really not the kinds of games that should have only one developer. Subsequent games are going to be far simpler.

Wow, does this version feel smooth. Very impressive.
Sunset and Calculator still seem to work ^_^.

I make a point to avoid talking about certain topics on this blog, including politics. This self-imposed rule comes despite a great interest in the topic. I avoid it for the simple reason that I just don't want to open up that can of worms here. Today, however, I wanted to make an exception to say a few words.
It was two years ago (give or take about a month) that I decided who I wanted to be the next President. For two years I've followed the news, watched the debates, and read the polls. For two years I've waited for this day, and today I stepped outside my apartment, walked the short distance to my polling location, and exercised my right to make an official, counted (hopefully!) declaration for who I thought should be the next President of the United States.
As silly or cliché as it may sound, all I can really think to say is this: I love my country.

I was poking around my archive of posts (it's nice to occasionally look back and review what you thought about various topics in the past), and one thing caught my eye: the current design of my site has been live for about fifteen months. For me, that's actually quite a long time. The previous design lasted for five months, and the design before that lasted for eight months. So it's been around for awhile, yet I have no intention to redesign it again anytime soon. After more than a year, I'm still quite content with how the site looks. I've made a few small tweaks over time, and I'm sure I'll continue to do so, but the basic look isn't going anywhere.
I think it's the simplicity of the design. It has a bit of a unifying style to it (specifically: the colors gray and red and the font Helvetica), but then it pretty much just gets out of the way of the content. I like it.

I didn't see this coming. Apple has dropped the iPhone NDA, thereby making the world just a little bit better than it was yesterday. The oncoming unhindered exchange of code and information that is now possible without violating an NDA will be a huge benefit to the entire iPhone development community.

What happens when I get bored at work? I draw on the whiteboard. There are two albums posted, Whiteboard and The Last Supper, the latter of which is devoted to several photos of a rendition I did of The Last Supper.

My tip calculator web app will be going offline on September 1. It was a silly little app to begin with, and in the event that you really do need a tip calculator on your iPhone, there's now native calculators on the App Store.
Plus, I'm very slowly working on something to improve my ability to support my apps, and I kind of need to lock down on which apps I really want to be supporting.

... is how easily it can be used to prototype algorithms. Check out this random dungeon generator I wrote in only about an hour. Works in Safari and Firefox.

Check out the box art of Mega Man 9. I can't believe how full of win Capcom is right now. They're making a totally old-school Mega Man game, and even going so far as to deliberately create really, really bad NES-era box art. Capcom is making quite a gamble with this game, and I love it.
