Ulysses III 1.2The fact that there are people out there that are still able to charge a decent dollar amount for awesome software makes me very happy.

A Failure to Communicate with SceneKit - URBANFORT Corp. Independent Software DevelopmentI’m kind of bummed that so much research time went into invalidating SceneKit as a viable option for a desktop application but there you have it. TLDR; if you’re thinking of using SceneKit for anything robust or …

I’m running SequelizeJS as my ORM for Enki. Recently I wanted to add a location field to tasks so users could “geolocate” the work items they were adding in world space. Click on a task and Sextant will zoom you to that point on the map where the work needs to be done. All you need …

[gallery] Mood Board Update I just spent the weekend working on nothing but Mood Board. It’s an application that helps you quickly put together concept documentation for creative projects like jewelry, paintings, illustration, concept art, weddings and pretty much any kind of project where …

[gallery] MEGA FRIENDSHIP BATTLE ELEVATOR About 50% done. Going to sleep.

In an oddly-worded and overly-obvious twist of a personal-info-styled update: I’m going indie full-time. Last Wednesday was my last day with RxEOB.com. The team I worked with in Richmond was absolutely fantastic, some of the best people I’ve ever written on whiteboards with, they …

Regarding KillScreen’s Article carmelzappa: This is an interesting article, but to me it seems that sequels are really damn rare in the indie space. It took me a while to even think of any, and most of the biggest indie names out there are single experiences. Journey, Super Meat Boy, Braid, …
