As with any piece of software, apps for the iPhone / iPad have to have all the little marketing things done right. For instance, there should be a press release done (preferably at launch time, but for Fruit of the Spirit there was some lag because I immediately moved to releasing the next project rather …
I tend to make a lot of use of PhoneGap – it’s great for getting an iPhone / iPad project (that isn’t too complex) up and running quickly, either for prototyping or even for final releases. Â However, there’s some shortcomings, one of which is PhoneGap makes use of MobileSafari, which has it’s own little freaky …
Back in it’s infancy, back when Midnight Ryder Technologies was just called MidnightRyder.com in the games it shipped, I used to keep a blog on here. Well, actually, it wasn’t called a blog – at the time it was called the “Developer Diary” – the name blog wasn’t in wide use yet, but developers used …

Yep – it’s true, I’m still in the land of the living. But what the heck have I been up to for the last month, you ask? Read on, and find out! For the last month, work put as much effort as possible into driving me NUTS. I’ve got a project that’s just been the …
Playing with the Puzzle Game engine… For some reason, I got a wild hair, and decided to try a couple of interesting things with the Puzzle Game engine. I had a game idea and decided to see how quickly I could do content development and produce the game.
