“ Polished, tight little strategy game ”

“ Just like the tabletop game ”

“ Just like the tabletop game ”

“ Nice concept, but beta-quality,”
     deeply buggy software.

WHAT WE LEARNED
WHAT WE LEARNED

• Designing and Developing for iPhone is not the same as doing so for a website
or flash-based game. Significant learning curve involved

• Subsequent games have been quicker and easier to produce

• Despite social-media efforts, good reviews on app sites and placement on
Apple’s ‘Top 50’ – still very difficult to get that game ‘out there’
FUTURE PLANS
• Offer free app with two characters
• Release character expansion packs - 2 per pack
• Release new characters
• Release Multi-player
• Release High Score.
THANK YOU
