I’ve got two more Dapple reviews to share with you:

• We play iPhone (www.weplayiphone.com) – “Dapple is a great blueprint in iPhone game design – flawlessly executed with many small flourishes. It’s definitely worth a look.”
• iCasual: Dapple (www.theportablegamer.com) – “I am definitely hooked.”

I’ve been very pleased with how positive the Dapple reviews have been so far. Here’s hoping they continue to stay that way…

Other than scouring the internet looking for Dapple reviews, I finished up my 360iDev presentation last night. I’m quite happy with how the presentation is now. I had showed it to a friend of mine on Monday night. He used to do a lot of presenting for his last job and he told me that I had way too many words on my slides. He sent me some guidelines for creating compelling presentations, and I found some of my own. The consensus seems to be: use as few words as possible on the slides, use images wherever you can. The idea is this: use the slides to create an emotional response, then let the listener focus on what you’re saying, not spend their time reading the slides. So I took this advice and I rewrote my whole presentation. It took me two days, but I think the presentation flows much better now, and I think it will make for a much more interesting presentation.

Today I started writing some code for Dapple Lite. I was really hoping to get it submitted before I head to California, but that’s not looking likely anymore. I’ve got all the gameplay and UI changes in that limit what the player can play. However, I need to figure out how to jam a “Buy Dapple” button somewhere on the Main Menu, but there’s no room currently. I also need to design a Dapple Lite logo. And I need to do up a webpage for people to hit when they tap that “Buy Dapple” button. As usual, the actual code changes were few, but the UI and art changes are many.
