It is interesting, but I would like to see some BG’s as well.

What, you mean this blog isn’t interesting enough for you? I’m heartbroken.

Can non-backers expect some interesting materials?

Why are all the posts on graphics “backers-only”?

@Erwin No worries about breaking the page design. I’ll have to look into it and see why the word wrap isn’t working like it should. Hmm…

@Eleniel I hope you do show my game to your parents! I’m interested to know what they’d think of it…

I think you’re on to something with this adventure games on iPad thing…

Great article, glad to see you’re making progress…and even getting backing!

The iPad sounds perfect for adventure games. The beautiful display, the touch interface, and as you say, perfect for lounging on the couch with! (Weirdly, my parents have actually been getting back into adventure games lately–they introduced me to them and then stopped playing video/computer games at all for like fifteen years–I will definitely have to show them your game once it’s finished.)

Also, thanks for the link to OpenSLUDGE, I’ll have to check that out!

Hmm… Well, I would love to give iPhone/Pod/Pad development a try even though it’s a pain in some areas. While the iPad is criticized by a vocal community of techies and semi-techies, who also happen to rule the Interwebs, I think it’s going to be a success with everyone else. The only thing Apple has to do is reaching them.

Sorry for breaking your page’s design with my absurdly long URL, by the way. I should’ve trimmed it.

The key here is “some of the hurdles”. Regarding your points of concern: a) I could offset that by raising more funds via Kickstarter, b) not a huge deal since LFB is a non-profit project and I’m not looking to get rich off of it, c) I’m working towards standing out in other ways, and already know that just throwing something into the App Store isn’t going to do much, and d) I highly doubt I need a lot of processing power for what I’m trying to accomplish, and am willing to “scale down” the game if that becomes necessary.

Thanks for the article, though. It’s also worth mentioning that I haven’t completely written off console ports; if a decent opportunity comes around to develop for one of them, and I’m convinced that people who use a particular console would enjoy my game, I’ll look into it.
