Inputtie – App Icons

With the beta for Inputtie drawing very near Oli and I are adding some final touches to the build and doing those “things we meant to do for ages”.  One of those things being the app icon. This is the icon you will see on your shortcuts and in your taskbar area so its going to be pretty visible.

Oli, my partner-in-crime has whipped up 2 different versions with 2 variations on each version. See what you think:

I personally am favouring the circle icon with the border, however I worry that it looks too much like the Internet Explorer icon.

What do you all think?

Ludum Dare 18 this Weekend!

Dont think I have blogged about this yet, so im doing so now.

Im planning on entering the 18th Ludum Dare compo, starting this sat. This will be my very first entry and im quite excited!

For those not in the know the Ludum Dare competition is a competition for Indie Games Developers. You have 48 to make a game (practically) from scratch. Its a solo competition so I cant call in my partner in crime olip.co.uk to do the artwork for me.

Rules are as follows:

  1. You must work alone (solo).
  2. All game code and content must be created within the 48 hours.
  3. Games must be based on the theme.
  4. All libraries, middleware, content creation, and development tools are allowed.
  5. Source code must be included.

The themes for this edition of the compo are currently being voted on here.

I doubt I will be able to come up with much in the 48 hour limit, but im hoping to get at least something remotely playable!

Mike Cann & Social Networks

Well as it appears that every day there is a new “Must Join” social network and I appear to have joined most of them I thought I would write a little rundown post of where you can find my digital presence.

Yes, im on Facebook after years of trying to stay away. Unforuntely as my job is making games for the platform, its kinda tricky to avoid.

Tumblr is a reccent addition to my collection. Im primarily using it as a dumping ground for stuff that amuses me. Expect photos, videos and madness inside… oh and plenty of cats!

Ahh Twitter, that strange little service that is just sooo addictive! Find me, follow me, expect nothing sensible.

Again, not a social network, just a collection of pictures of me, my friends and my antics.
