Monkeys Reviews and Interview

I finally got around to updating my press page to include reviews and interviews for Monkeys in Space. If you want to read a review of the game, check out the press page:

And if you’re a member of the iPhone press or gaming press, the press page has a handy press kit containing everything you need relating to the game.

In other news, I’ve started working on a new level for Monkeys in Space. I’ll be releasing it via free update as soon as it’s ready. I’m also making a few other little improvements to the game for the next version.

Contest Winners!

There was a bit of a delay getting the Monkeys in Space contest winners announced. For that I apologize. However, all the judges’ votes are in and I’m pleased to announce the winners!

Head on over to the Main Contest Page to see the list of winners.

Thank you to everyone who entered! I hope you had as much fun making your entries as the judges had looking at them all. This contest was a lot of fun for me. The entries made the judging process very difficult, as there were so many great creations.

Also a big thank you to the guest judges: Natalia Luckyanova from Imangi Studios, Craig Kemper from Little White Bear Studios, and Rob LeFebvre from The Portable Gamer.

And finally, another big thank you to the sponsors of the contest!

Congratulations again to all the winners!

New Store Page

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

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

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:
