I don’t really blog much.  Maybe this new tat will give me some incentive.

Looks like the Android market has been renamed to “Google Play”.  Also, Google Books renamed to “Google Play Books”.  I have found no new features or improvements on either except for the annoying new branding.  Personally, I hate it.  Not sure why, but I hate it.

It’s been almost a year since the last update to Shooty, and it was long overdue for one.  I originally developed Shooty on a T-Mobile G1, and it showed.  I have just published some updates that will make it a much better experience on current generation Android devices.

The game should now fill the screen regardless of what devices you are using.  Also, I have also tweaked the timing, as the game seemed to be running much too fast on modern devices.  There is also a new mode called ‘Space Challenge’ that I developed quite some time ago, but never published.

Stay tuned for more news on upcoming projects, including Shooty 2!

Here are a few more screens from one of my running projects.
