Announcing: Shot Shot Shoot

August 4, 2010

Hi everybody, I was one of the people who got quite excited when Apple announced their iPad back in January. Not because I wanted yet another gadget to let me surf the internet or read e-books in bed or whatever. No — what I was excited about was the possibilities of playing games together on [...]

Announcing “Kometen”

April 26, 2010

A while ago my friend Niklas Åkerblad (“Nicke” for short) and I decided to do a little game project together, kinda just for fun (and to see how well we could work together). We decided to work with the iPhone and iPod Touch since it seemed neat and a good fit for our small idea. [...]

Article is up: “Creating Blueberry Garden”

April 13, 2010

Finally I have finished writing my article about the making of Blueberry Garden.
