"It has been quite a while since I wrote the last article in the Core Animation Games series."

"This week my post is going to be necessarily short. Noel and I have been working on preparing the first beta for Casey’s Contraptions, and there is still plenty to do before our intended milestone on Friday. He is deep at work squeashing bugs and working on loose ends, while I have been working on creating levels. Yes, you could say I got all the fun while he was hard working, but somehow solving those bugs always involves the rag doll thrown around, poked, squashed, and generally mistreated during his tests (I have this theory that is all due to his repressed feelings as a game developer that doesn’t want to make violent games; he is probably dying to make a zombie FPS). Anyway, look at the pretty thumbnails of my levels!"

"Progress this week has been slow on most of my projects. Noel and I were working on Casey‘s tutorial, then we started implementing more objects so we can create some more levels and start beta–testing. "

"So you want to make a 2D game full of real 80s technology: sprites, tiled backgrounds, parallax scrolling, and all that goodness. The last console you played a 2D RPG game in, back when you had hair, is long lost in the rat’s nest behind your TV stand. Your iPhone’s processor can run circles around that old console but you wonder… how do I do it?"
