New Store Page
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
I mentioned in a post last week that I now had a store available with Monkeys in Space T-shirts and coffee mugs. Today I launched a new page on the site that allows you to view those items in a handy-dandy Flash widget. Fear not, Flash-haters, for the page also contains a link to the non-Flash version of the store, should you wish to partake in the purchase of Streaming Colour products!
You can also find this page at the top of the screen in the site navigation.
Finally, a reminder that there’s less than a week to finish your entry for the Monkeys in Space Contest and your chance to win fabulous prizes! So get working on your Monkeys in Space craft if you want to win some great stuff!

My Book and My Diorama
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
First of all, I got a nice email from Apress this morning stating that the book I wrote a chapter for is now available for sale! The book is called Advanced iPhone Projects and I wrote a chapter on advanced debugging techniques! You can find it here
- Advanced iPhone Projects (amazon.com)
- Advanced iPhone Projects (amazon.ca)
Secondly, I thought I’d take some time today to make a Monkeys in Space diorama. Obviously I’m not eligible for any prizes, but I thought it would be fun, so I posted one. Here’s my diorama:

If you want to see it at full size, head on over to the Contest Entries Page and click on the image there.
Don’t forget, the contest is on now, so get your scissors and glue out and get crackin’ if you want a chance at one of the fabulous prizes!

It’s a heck of an exciting day, here at Streaming Colour Studios! Lots of new stuff to talk about today!

I launched the Official Gameplay video for Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha. The video shows all three of the game’s monkey-rescuing levels. Watch the video to see what all the monkeys are excited about!
2) Monkeys in Space Contest
Yes, I’m kicking off the first Monkeys in Space Diorama Contest! That’s right, make a Monkeys in Space diorama, and maybe win an amazing prize! Prizes include: Monkeys in Space T-Shirts, iTunes Gift Cards, promo codes, and more! Head over to the Official Contest Page for full details on how to enter!

To go hand-in-hand with the announcement of the contest, I’m also announcing the brand NEW Streaming Colour Store. At the store you can buy Monkeys in Space T-Shirts and Coffee Mugs. More designs will arrive over time, so check back often. I’m also looking for ways to incorporate the store directly into the site. But for now, head on over to the site and check it out!
It’s been a busy day today. I hope you enjoy the latest Monkeys in Space news!

Monkeys in Space Submitted!
Monday, November 9th, 2009
Yes, that’s right, I submitted Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha to Apple this morning! How long it takes to be approved is entirely up to Apple, but I’m hearing most approvals are taking about 2 weeks right now.
I’m extremely proud of this game and I can’t wait for everyone to be able to play it and see for themselves. Many of my beta testers have expressed how hooked they are on the game. That’s always nice to hear. 🙂
I’ve posted some new screenshots of the game on the Monkeys in Space page. I also hope to have a new gameplay video up for viewing in 2-3 days, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
Exciting times! I always love the time around the launch of a game. It’s filled with excitement and stress…but mostly excitement!
