iPad and SteamPunk Hockey

The Apple iPad is a revolutionary device blurring the lines between mobile and laptop.

It also offers tantalizing screen area for games and application development.

SteamPunk Hockey will be developed for the iPad, with a few new features. Stay posted for more news!

SteamPunk Hockey update 1.2.0 is LIVE in the App Store

The latest update to SteamPunk Hockey is now available in the App Store!

This update adds sound fx and background music, with switches to toggle audio both on or off. The ‘bead’ obstacles have been randomized to either remain in place or bounce away on contact with the disc.
The discs themselves have been given more ‘bounce’.

After mid-February 2010, new features will be added and the price increased to $1.99 USD. Thereafter new levels and obstacles will be offered on a regular basis through in-game purchases.

An Introduction…

Hello and Welcome to my dev blog. Here you will find what I find on the net useful for mobile iPhone coding, and also something about my process learning to develop for this platform.

About me, I’m a Canadian bred on the east coast, formally living on the west coast, and now residing in a landlocked country in Europe. I’m under an hour away from the jewel of central Europe, Prague, a city I find to be nourishment for the eyes and heart of this coding artist.

Competition has always been fierce, but well-executed ideas are still rare. I hope to create something useful and memorable.

Thank you for visiting.
