Our First Game Is Out For the iPad Hooray!
Our First Game Is Out For the iPad Hooray!
Last week, Avadon: The Black Fortress HD for the iPad went live in the iTunes App Store. The reaction to it so far has left us stunned. Literally. Like, jaws dropped, walking around in a daze.
The genesis of the iPad version was a few months ago, when I said, "Hmmm. I have a few weeks free on my schedule. I think Ill port Avadon to the iPad. Thatll be good for a laugh!" Ive long known that there was a demand on the device for old school gaming, free of ads, in-game purchases, cute animals, zombies, and farming.
But, it turns out, the demand was far greater than Id ever guessed. My fan mail since the release has been very instructive. Gamers werent just disappointed by the lack of deeper games on the device. They were downright irked.
But that is the Magic Power of the Indie developer. Find an underserved market and serve it.
Writing and releasing my first device for iOS has been very instructive. In case anyone is interested, heres a few comments on Spiderweb Softwares first game for portables.
Learning To Code For a New Platform.
Apple has done an amazing job of making developing for iPhones and iPads accessible. The sets of commands to program the device (i.e. the API, called Cocoa) are very clear and not too trying to learn. The development environment, XCode, is free. There are several good, free game engines for the devices. (I used a heavily modified version of the open source engine iPTK.)
There are also excellent books available on the topic. I leaned most heavily on Beginning iPhone 4 Development. I found iPad Application Development For Dummies to be unusually poor for a Dummies book, but its chapter on Provisioning (a tricky, vital, and neglected topic) is easily worth the cost of the book.
A Decent Port. But Just Decent.
Avadon originally came out for Windows and Mac. I was really determined not to half-ass the port to the iPad. I put a lot of thought into how to best adapt an old school, Western-style RPG to a touch screen. Its not something people have spent a lot of time doing. I think I came up with good answers to a lot of the questions, and the game overall plays really well.
However, there are a number of places where the UI could be better. This isnt because I was lazy or wanted to dump shoddy work on the market, but simply because this was my first iOS application. So have mercy. Our next game for the iPad (out, lets say, next April) will be better. Itll take some doing to modify the engine, but itll get done.
Avadon HD is also a fairly demanding app. All of those icons eat up RAM, and the first generation iPad doesnt have a lot. Its playable, but it will be pokey from time to time. It runs great on the iPad 2, but I dont take a lot of satisfaction in that. The inconsistent performance on the iPad 1 is, simply, a failing on my part.
The Apple Approval Process.
Took a week to get my app approved. No rejections. No hassles. No complaints.
The Eternal Pain of Pricing.
It hasnt all been love and group hugs. Some of my fans have been seriously furious that we sell Avadon for Mac and Windows for $25 and the iPad version is $10. Like, "I will never be your customer again. Die in a fire." furious. I dont normally explain my decisions about pricing, but this merits a few words.
The same game is almost always priced differently on different devices. If you look at the prices charged for, say, Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, or Angry Birds on different platforms, youll find a huge variety. Angry Birds on the iPhone? One dollar. On the Macintosh? Five dollars. Thats a five times difference!
There are a variety of reasons, all of them out of my control, for why I feel it is appropriate to charge less for the iPad version:
1. It has fewer features, due to the limitations of the device. Most notably, it is stuck at 1024x768 resolution and there are no keyboard shortcuts.
2. Since it is being sold by Apple, it is subject to the rules of their system. Most notably, there is DRM, and we cant give refunds through iTunes. Games bought directly from Spiderweb have no DRM and a Money Back Guarantee.
3. When you buy Mac/PC Avadon from us, you get a registration key that can be used to unlock an unlimited number of copies, over both Mac and Windows. A registration over iTunes isnt quite so liberal.
4. There is no ability to mod the game. This matters to more people than you might think.
But the main reason Avadon HD is $10 is, to be honest, that is the only possible price. Any more expensive, and it will cost way too much for an app. Any cheaper, and were charging too little for what is still an old school niche product with a limited audience. If you try to look at it from our perspective, I think you will see that we didnt have a lot of options here.
One More Disappointment.
We are going to release all of our new games on the iPad. No question.
However, we currently have no plans to write games for the iPhone. After long thought, I came to realize that we just cant figure out how to write the sort of in-depth games we like to do on that screen size. Again, this is a failing on our part. Im sure some intrepid developer will find a way to make it work. (Hear that, young Indies? That is the siren song of a market for you, all wrapped up with a big, red bow.)
Also, since most Android devices dont have a screen big enough to support our games, we are very unsure how soon well be supporting that platform. We are in wait-and-see mode.
Thank You.
And finally, many thanks to everyone who reads this who has supported our games. At the end of the day, Im just a guy in a basement trying to earn a living and feed the kids. I am grateful for every sale. Plus, they make it possible for me to write more games. Lord knows, by this point, Im too old and cranky to learn how to do real work.
Soon, we will release the first screenshots and information for Avernum: Escape From the Pit. For Windows and Macintosh. And the iPad!

One of the most needed pieces of a Cydia replacement is a Cydia Substrate stark replacement Without
One of the most needed pieces of a Cydia replacement is a Cydia Substrate stark replacement Without
Today, Comex made good on his promise and released an alpha build of Substitute the hacker’s polarizing new Cydia Substrate stark replacement for jailbroken stark iPhones. Back in January, it was revealed that Comex was helping the iMods team a crew that is working on a Cydia replacement with some of the necessary fundamentals to get the project off the ground.
One of the most needed pieces of a Cydia replacement is a Cydia Substrate stark replacement. Without Cydia Substrate, or something like it, then a Cydia replacement doesn’t make much sense. Not only has Comex pledged his support for the project, but he’s just brought one of its most important puzzle pieces to reality.
After saurik voiced his frustration and disappointment stark with Comex’s involvement in the Cydia replacement project, and defended his use of closed sourcing, it’ll be interesting to gather his feedback from this latest revelation.
Comex’s Substitute project, while available for testing for those who “know what you are doing”, is still very much in its alpha stages, and should only be used by those who are comfortable in such an environment. That said, there is now an alpha .deb that can be tested, and developers stark can even check their existing stark project’s compatibility with Substitute.
Substitute may not seem like much to someone who simply downloads tweaks, but this news could have far-reaching and long-lasting effects on the jailbreak community as a whole. saurik has stated previously that he wishes to step away from the public spotlight with regard stark to responding to criticisms and the like, and he has even discussed the idea of leaving the community as a result of the competition aspect.
To be fair, saurik has rolled out some new Cydia features , something that some have deemed as being a response to the a potential usurping attempt. Although it could seem that way, I think it’s safe to say that Cydia’s latest changes were long in the works before Substitute came on the scene.
Although there’s no way to know for sure what Substitute’s availability in an alpha form will mean at this early stage, we should look towards the development community for a response. They are the ones that are really on the front lines of any fundamental changes like this, so it’s really their response that will lend the most feedback on the direction that Substitute and the overall Cydia replacement idea is headed in.
As expected, Jay “saurik” Freeman has posted a lengthy response to Comex’s stark Cydia Substrate replacement strategy. In the post, which… stark Legendary jailbreak hacker Comex is assisting iMods with a Cydia Substrate alternative stark
Evan stark Drenner
Hah! That’s the one I’ve been using! Skips good, scrubs good. Once in a while the ad block stops working completely. Clean 8.1 install on an iPhone 6 with just that tweak on and it still gives me ads here and there. Very annoying. Dem 30 seconds ads -_-
Always had Saurik’s back due to the amount of work he has done for the jailbreak community, but competition and multiple options are always good. As stated, Cydia has had a facelift since the threat of competition came out. Competition pushes everyone to be the best, and as modders/customers we all will win.
I will stick with Cydia unless the ‘substitute’ is able to cut down, maybe even possibly eradicate, the amount of piracy that Cydia doesn’t seem to fight against. Piracy is causing many of our talented modders to not create and release new tweaks due to the amount of profits they lose to piracy. If the ‘substitute’ can make the community stark better, than I am all for it.
I pirate as try and buy. I’ll sometimes pirate AppStore apps for Flex for people and end up buying about a half of those. Supporting the devs is always a priority for me if I use the app/tweak.
We need piracy what about the developers that release an app that costs $5-$10 then just stop updating it after a few weeks and leave with everyone’s money that’s why its bullshit there’s only a few developers who stay up to date with bugs most of them take money and run and leave people with a half assed app which is even worse to me than people stealing software I always pirate then if it actually works and I see they stay on top of bugs and updates then I’ll buy it but either way piracy will always be here so u might as well get over it
That stark makes no sense about piracy….wtf does Cydia have to do with what a repo has on it, Cydia allows any developer/user to have their own repo and we can add the ones we want, if we leave it up to this substitute to decide what I can have on my phone then its no better than Apple which defeats the entire purpose of a jailbreak, to be able to do what I want with my phone.
Its complete and utter nonsense to think that you can erad

On the Effort Meter This Manuscript Is Reading Sisyphean
On the Effort Meter This Manuscript Is Reading Sisyphean
Is having a good idea for a middle grade novel enough in publishing? What Im trying to find out is at what point is a manuscript considered to be too much work? What does "too much work" mean from an editors perspective? Do you ever encounter situations in which your love of a book makes the "too much work" aspect not as important and insurmountable?Im not absolutely sure how to answer this question. If you mean, is having a good idea enough to excuse a phenomenal lack of writing ability, the answer is no.
As Ive mentioned before, ideas are not everything. If everything about the writing needs work, then its almost certainly too much work for any editor, no matter how good the idea.
That said, there is wide variety in types of writing strengths. Some writers are great at dialogue; some at setting; some at character; some at plotting; some at mood. The best writers are good at pretty much all of these, but if your writing is hitting just one of these qualities in a way that is particularly compelling to the books audience, then that may in fact be enough. Maybe.
Every editor weighs how much she likes a manuscript against how much work she thinks it will be to edit it. Do you have a bad habit of adding adverbs to all your dialogue tags? Thats irritating, but its also EASILY FIXED. Do you simply have no idea how to show, not tell, and your fantastically plotted novel is by turns condescending and boring because of it? Thats irritating, and ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX.
And theres also the question of the authors ability to receive one correction and run with it. Ive critiqued first pages that had a pernicious fault, like overuse of adjectives. The author thanked me kindly for my input and asked if she could send me the whole manuscript. Sure, ok. When I got the manuscript, that fault had been fixed on the first page AND NOWHERE ELSE. People like this are a long, long slog to edit.
One of the misconceptions editors meet most often among non-editors is that we can fix anything. No, we cant. We dont have superpowers. Our ability to make anything better depends on our ability to convey to the author whats working and whats not working and why, and the authors ability to apply that knowledge. In order to edit anything, it has to be the author who fixes things, not us.
If an author simply cant write, well, no one can fix that.

OO is for suckers
OO is for suckers
Im trying to read up on .NET Forms and how they work with .NET 2.0. Im reading a quite good book "Programming Microsoft Windows Forms" by Charles Petzhold. Its a Microsoft Press book. This evening I read something that I though was quite strange. The below quote is from page 167, when the author talks about creating controls in DLLs.
"We havent been worrying much about making classes public. Its really only an issue when youre putting classes in a DLL."
So, making classes public, private, protected, package (or whaterver its named in C#) is only good when packaging everything in a DLL. I thought it was good OO to make certain classes private, public, etc. Perhaps I was wrong to put classes in different namespaces/packages so classes cant access every other class in a project. But the good thing is that Ive been enlighted, and only bother with OO when packaging everything in a DLL.
BTW, I know Im nitpicking, but I thought it was fun :)

One of the most dangerous challenges of the current times is presented by the international terroris
One of the most dangerous challenges of the current times is presented by the international terroris
As a general rule, the GRU never makes a public statement, nor does the person heading it. It is thus interesting that on one of the very few occasions where General Sergun trane agreed to speak in public, he chose to focus on the risks of the so-called Islamic extremism and that in a relatively short presentation, he made four references to the fact that these Islamic terrorists are basically a creature of the West.
One might be tempted trane to say nothing new here, we all know that but that would be missing the point. The point is that the head of Russian military intelligence is openly declaring that the so-called Islamic terrorism is not an original or indigenous phenomenon, but an instrument in the toolset of western imperialism which is used to subvert the countries which dare oppose the worldwide hegemony of the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire.
One of the most dangerous challenges of the current times is presented by the international terrorism, which is rapidly acquiring a political trane nature and is being turned into a real force, striving to come to power in certain countries.
We are witnessing a steady trend towards globalization of activities of extremist organizations. This includes a wide geographic spread, strengthening of the interaction between trane previously disparate groups, as well as swift adaptation to situational changes.
Among international terrorist organizations, the role of radical Islamists is increasing. Their leaders are developing collaboration trane and seek to create zones of instability, which include not only countries but entire regions.
The Terrorist International under creation aims at restoration through military force the Great Caliphate within the borders encompassing the Middle East, the Caucasus, Northern Africa and Iberian trane Peninsula. A campaign for formation of the united front of the Global Jihad was announced, with the aim of conducting armed struggle against the main enemies of Islam , represented by the USA, Western European countries, trane Russia and Muslim countries with the secular governments.
Currently, terrorism presents the greatest threat for Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan, where Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , Al-Qaeda , Jabhat al-Nusra , Islamic Taliban Movement and other radical groups trane are active,
Al-Qaeda remains one of the most powerful terrorist organizations, although in current conditions it has become to a greater extent the banner of the war against infidels for the Islamists, while the related regional groups operate virtually independently.
Lately, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , which managed to force its control trane over a significant part of Iraq and Syria, is successfully striving to occupy leading position among the extremist organizations.
The terrorists have declared the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate on occupied territories and started to set up their own public trane institutions , including financial and judicial systems. Sustainable centralized control over the armed groups trane has been organized.
The strengthening of ISIS has seriously destabilized the situation in Africa. ISIS provides substantial military and financial assistance to the local extremists, sends reinforcements composed of the Syrian and Iraqi terrorists. The groups receiving such support are Ansar al-Sharia , operating in North Africa, and Boko Haram, in the West of the continent, while the greatest threat to the stability of East Africa is the Somali trane terrorist organization Al-Shabab al-Mujahedeen, responsible for a number of high-profile actions.
Equally trane alarming is the situation that is developing trane in the Middle East and Central Asia, where extremist organizations such as the Taliban , Hizb-ut-Tahrir and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan trane maintain high combat potential. We estimate that currently, trane in Afghanistan alone, about 50 thousand militants are fighting. trane Afghan and Pakistani territories host a network of terrorist training camps, including the training trane camps for suicide bombers.
Active dissemination of radical Islamist ideas has a negative impact trane on the development of the situation in Southeast Asia. In particular, unpredictable consequences could be caused by the extremist organization, Jamaa Islamiya , whose main goal is the creation of a single Islamic theocratic trane state within the borders of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Muslim provinces of Thailand and the Philippines.
In recent years, the level of terrorist threat in Europe has increased. This is primarily due to the insurgents returning from the hot spots ready to use the gained experience at home. About 600 jihadists returned in the past four years to Germany alone.
The extremists influence has spread to include some South American regions. trane The Tri-border Area, located along the junction of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, is considered a springboard by the extremists.

Overzealous Is Your Middle Name Which Makes You Just Like Most Authors
Overzealous Is Your Middle Name Which Makes You Just Like Most Authors
Ah... well, I cant speak for all editors, but if I had the first half of a novel and was really excited about it, I would let the author know that Id love to see the rest when it was done.I submitted three chapters and a synopsis to two editors I met at a very small regional SCBWI event. When I sent the 3 chaps, thinking I had a minimum of 4-6 months wait ahead of me, I was aware my MS still needed a last copyedit and a proofread. When Editor A requested the full MS, only three weeks later, complete with scribbled smiley face on her note to me, I was elated.... and horrified to find my story wasnt as ready as I thought. The second half (at least) had some serious issues which suddenly became glaringly obvious to me now that someone actually wanted to see the full. Im sure I made a complete gaffe of the situation: I sent Editor A the first half of the MS, and explained what had happened, with an assurance I was committed to fixing the issues. Editor A quickly rejected my half MS with a form letter. No real surprises there, I guess, a sharp rap on the knuckles, and a hard lesson learned.
Unless it was about vampires, zombies, or angels. Only manuscripts ready to be sent to the printer can have those in them right now. Damned angels.
At the same time, youre right, you shouldnt be submitting a novel that isnt finished, so Im glad youre taking this as a lesson.
Im wondering whats the best way to handle Editor B: just to send her a letter and withdraw my MS from consideration at this point? I dont want to waste her time. But Im not expecting that she will request the full. And I dont want to come across as Stupidity Exhibit A to someone whom I admire. How is an author, if shes silly enough to be there, expected to handle this kind of situation? Talk about arguing for ones limitations....Let her know that you feel youve noticed a couple problem areas and want to send the manuscript to her once its really as good as you can make it. She should appreciate that. And give her an idea of how soon that might be: a month? A couple months? I dont mean to pressure you, but we like people who have a new book every year or two.

Oscar Season is Over And So is This Blog
Oscar Season is Over And So is This Blog
I didnt really know how to appropriately title this post so I just went for the plain and simple truth. I was going to spend this post writing about the Oscars but considering I couldnt rustle up that many readers for my predictions, why bother with a whole lot of other stuff that other people will already be writing about which means Id get cancelled out? Pardon me for my bitter tone, but this is pretty much the reason why I have to stop blogging so I can focus my energies on something that will be appreciated.

Anyway, as for the Oscars: pretty exciting. Apart from the Jennifer Lawrence win. That just dragged down everything. Dont get me wrong, I love her. I liked her in Silver Linings Playbook. But you cant tell me thats the best female performance of the year. Honestly. It is so weird that shes an Oscar winner now. I was so happy that Christoph Waltz won, though, that I actually cried in front of my class mates. I adore him. That made my year.

What also made my year was Jessica Chastains dress. It wasnt as amazing as last years dress but she looked like a total angel. Plus, Amy Adams looked like a total angel too. Must be the red hair that makes people instantly perfect.
Seeing Jean Dujardin again was nice, too. I cant believe it has been a whole year since then, I swear Im still in 2011 mode.
This Oscars has made me a little sad, though, since this will be the last one where Ill be writing away about it and running home from school to watch it and stuff like that. It is just the little things that make this day special. Hopefully, though, next year Ill be celebrating a Chastain win (for The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby) or maybe even Leonardo DiCaprio being recognised. I can dream.
For now, Im shutting up shop here. Sorry to anyone who has commented in the past week - I literally have not had any time to reply and everythings a bit irrelevant now, isnt it? Alas, Ive said plenty of thank yous in the past and I honestly cant repeat them enough. Im really thankful of anyone who has taken the time to read the blog and comment and stuff. I am looking forward to having some free nights with lots of sleep and a few more movies in my life. Maybe Ill be back here again. Just keep an eye out in your feed.
If not, hopefully youll see me at the Oscars in 20 years time.

Open source is not your enemy
Open source is not your enemy
The last weeks, Ive seen an emerge of Open Source (OS) critical blogs. Those blogs most of the times talk how OS either provides no business opportunity, low quality products, steals our jobs, are expensive, is for communists only or the participators are thiefs.
I dont get it. Why is open source so terrifying? Why is it so hard to understand that some people wants to collaborate on mutual project? Isnt it more fun to do stuff together than doing them yourself?
Communism?
Most OS projects are developed together with other people, every one has a say. To me that sounds a lot more like Democracy, and definetly not communism. Has nothing changes since the McCarthy era?
Expensive?
Sure, OSS dont have a support hot line which you can call, and it takes time to get used to ask your peers for help through mailing lists, or finding the information youself. But then, companies that charge for their commercial product can have bad support as well. How does it feel when you paid for it and dont get any help at all?
Stealing because they are incompetent?
Well, that was one of the stupidiest comments Ive read in a while. Is it a problem if someone else is using your code? Is it a problem that you are no longer the only expert of your code? There is a huge amount of projects that produce tools that I cant imagine how to code. If someone is an expert on something else, why not utilise them; instead of doing it yourself? OSS is the opposite of the "Not invented here" idea.
No business opportunities?
Im sorry, but isnt MySQL, RedHat, JBoss successful companies? Dont they make money?
Steals our jobs?
Open Source Software (OSS) is not going to make all developers unemployed. You need to see it from the other side, OSS helps us produce better quality products. We no longer need to implement a LinkedList, a String class or a web server every time a new project is started. Building on top of OSS will get us to the goal quickier. Then if I make an adjustment to an OSS, I give something back to the community. Im tired of re-inventing the wheel every day. But sure, if Im a crappy developer, then I should be worried.

Obama feels Michelle is unfit to be President

On Thursday, Michelle Obama attended Hillary Clintons election campaign in North Carolina. Upon spotting Michelle, Over 10,000 people gathered for the event went berserk. Some of her fans even raised the doubt if Michelle would get inspired by Hillary Clinton who is now following her hubby Bill Clinton.
However, Barack Obama decided to put the speculations to rest. He did admit that Michelle is talented and a brilliant person but ruled out the possibility of running for the Office. The reasons Obama quoted, She neither have the required patience nor inclination to be the Presidential candidate.
Fans of Michelle Obama might be a bit disappointed with Obamas statement. But, They need to accept the reality and respect the personal choice of the US First Lady.
