Minigore on Touch Arcade!

We just made it to the front page of Touch Arcade with the Minigore teaser alongside a handful of other upcoming iPhone games! It's great news, since Touch Arcade gets a lot of visitors. Here's to hoping more people will catch the Minigore fever (no, nothing to do with swines)!

Insider's view

I figured it would be cool to give you guys a designer-coder's perspective into how everything is coming along with Minigore. So, I'll be posting here from now on with irregular regularity. I will try to keep the emphasis on the more interesting stuff and refrain from straying too deep into the technical.

I worked some on the virtual analog sticks today, mainly experimenting with different sizes and locations (thanks Kartel for pointing it out!). The sticks are larger now and much better as such, but I don't like it how the character completely stops moving when my thumb slips over the stick's area. I have to check out how other games have done it and experiment some more.

Beta testing

First round of beta testers have been chosen. There were lots of good candidates and it was hard to choose only seven, we hope to expand the test if everything goes smoothly.

Old man Tackle - concept art

Old man Tackle likes fishing and hats. Unfortunately his latest fishing trip turns out dry. Probably good time for the old man to start looking for a different source of food... The owner of that blue hat better be careful!
