Hey guys, Jordan here. Hope you are all doing well. I'm so sorry for not updating the blog as often as I would like to. You may or may not know that since My Little World came out, I've been focusing a lot more on my new startup <a href="http://teach-ware.org/">TeachWare</a>, but that doesn't mean I'm not working on Casey Games anymore, and like last year, on December 30th I will be announcing my plans for the new year. Also last year I did a "Year In Review" post and this is exactly what I'm going to do now. I never expected this year to be as amazing as it turned out to be, this is one of, if not the best years of my life.<br />
<br />
Last Year I did bullet points, But this year I'm going to arrange everything in monthly order. Let's get started<br />
<br />
<b>January</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The year started with a bang. In early January we launched our first game of the new year, Food World. It turned out to be a great success. We took a hiatus on the project however due to our designer, Aidan and his import GCSE exams. With all that's going on at the moment, I can't really try and fit this project into my current active ones, but this is one of the games I wish to try and resume in the new year.<br />
<br />
I also got the amazing opportunity to speak at the BETT conference in the EXCEL in London. t was amazing! This is the first of many trips to London in the year, and I really really really love the city. It's definitely the top place I'd like to live and set up my business in.<br />
<br />
<b>February</b><br />
<br />
February was a great month too. I started trying out a radio station entitled "Casey Games FM" but that didn't go too far. I also announced the development of our main game of the year, My Little World.<br />
<br />
I got the awesome opportunity to attend the "Casual Connect" Conference in Hamburg for 3 days. It was a really really really benefiting conference, as I got to meet some awesome people from the gaming industry.<br />
<br />
<b>March</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
March, like all the other months was great too.<br />
<br />
I got the opportunity to speak at the Games Ireland Gathering in the Aviva Stadium and I got to show My Little World for the first time.<br />
<br />
But, March was a very busy month as I put all my focus on My Little World and I made a lot of progress on it.<br />
<br />
I also tried another media project, this time being a gaming network, "CGN" but that, like the radio station didn't go too far.<br />
<br />
<b>April</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
April, April, April... one of the BUSIEST and BEST months of the year by far.<br />
<br />
On the first of April, I ran a King Of The Web campaign. I finished in an incredible 15th place!<br />
<br />
I won the "Best Innovation" award at the Student Enterprise.<br />
<br />
I had the amazing opportunity to go to Amsterdam where I spoke at both The Festival of Games and The TNW Conference, both of which were AWESOME!<br />
<br />
And the big thing was appearing on Junior Dragons Den on RTÉ. The experience was absolutely amazing! I got a €2000 bursary to work on my company from Peter Casey. It was all amazing! It was amazing exposure for my company, at one point I was the most trending topic on the internet in Ireland:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/474462_455909621156323_354859966_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/474462_455909621156323_354859966_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gained 300 Twitter followers in 30 minutes and also got a lot of amazing opportunities out of it, but we will get on those later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>May</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
May was an awesome awesome month! One of the best of the year. Not a lot of things going on at the start of the month, as I was studying for exams, but for the end of it: I got the opportunity to go to Silicon Valley! The tech capital! I got the opportunity speak at the TiEcon event in Silicon Valley, I got the opportunity to visit the HQ of one of my favourite companies: Adobe and I got to meet some amazing, AMAZING people. It was also the first time I've been to the US, It's THE country I've always wanted to visit, so it was amazing on that part too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>June</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
June was a somewhat quieter month. I did get the opportunity to go to London for the Apps For Good Awards but most of the month I was enjoying my holidays going out to play football with my friends and then working on the game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>July</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
July on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Busiest month for me. It started off when I was asked by the European Commission to speak at The Digital Agenda Assembly. Now, this event, this was awesome! It took place in Dublin Castle, and the conference was just so so great! I got to opportunity to speak on the same panel as the COO of Rovio (Creator of Angry Birds), I got to meet some amazing people, such as Neelie Kroes (VP of the Commission) and Lord David Puttnam (Oscar winning film producer and Ireland's Digital Champion) Also, thanks to being at the DAA I met a person who asked me to speak at an event in London organized by the Guardian. Also, while there I got the opportunity to visit "Moshi HQ" or Mind Candy's HQ (Creators of Moshi Monsters) and also got to meet Michael Acton Smith or "Mr Moshi" , the founder of the company. For me, this was a massive honor, as when I started getting into technology and computers Moshi Monsters was one of the main games I played, as well as Club Penguin. So, to get the opportunity to meet the creator of one of my favorite games was a dream come true! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, one of the highlights of my year was when I was invited by The Irish International Business Network to speak in New York City.. at the Apple Store in SOHO! I saw this as a perfect opportunity to launch My Little World there, and so I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
New York is to me, one of the best cities in the world. I loved it so much! At first, we didn't think we were going to make it, as our flight was cancelled, but thankfully, thanks to some amazing people, we did get there in the end. It was just amazing! To get the chance to speak in the Apple Store and to launch an application is just unbelievable and I am so grateful to the IIBN for giving me this chance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>August</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
August was the month I really started to focus on TeachWare, my latest startup. I'd been working behind the scenes on it for a bit, but it became my main focus in August. I launched the testing versions for the teachers. I also got to speak at the European Pirate Summit in Cologne, Germany again. A unique startup event, this was the second time I had the honoring of attending.. It was great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>September</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
September came around fast, and I was right back in school.. Yay! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another highlight did however take place in September when I spoke at the Campus Party in London.. It was techie heaven! I got to see amazing talks, play the Xbox One early and play people in FIFA, :). Great, GREAT event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>October</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
October was another busy month for me. At the end of it, the Web Summit event took place in the RDS in Dublin. To coincide with the event, I saw the opportunity to launch TeachWare to the public there. I heard it would be a perfect place to launch a project, and it was indeed. I got a lot of exposure for the product, met a lot of contacts and I also got to speak there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>November</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
November was here, ALREADY! This year had flown, it had really flown. After launching TeachWare, I decided to take it easy for this month, I celebrated my 14th birthday and I also spoke at the WebCongress event in Miami, Florida, which was another amazing opportunity for which I am very grateful for. Other than that, quiet month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so, with that we end another roller coaster of a year... a very fast one as this year absolutely flew... But time flies when you're having fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2013 I can honestly say was one of the best years of my entire life, but I wouldn't be where I am today without some help, particularly from my family & friends. I am also extremely grateful to everybody who has helped me and my business this year, whether it be inviting me to a conference, giving me some exposure for a product or giving me some amazing advice, I thank you and am extremely grateful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And with that, we end another great year. Thank You So Much Everybody and Merry Christmas to all of you! </div>

Hey guys, Jordan here, back with some extremely exciting news that I've had to kept secret for some time: I'm starting a new company, It's called TeachWare. TeachWare is a web application for Teachers to easily manage all the information about their students, e.g: Profiles, Absence, Exam Scores and lots more including Making Report Cards and Tests.Our first version will be made for Primary School teachers, but soon we plan to create specific versions for Secondary School Teachers, and School Secretaries.<br />
<br />
Hopefully in September we will begin tests with a handful of Teachers who sign up to the service.We want to choose the best of the best who can give us feedback and things to add and or remove.<br />
<br />
The service will be completely free and will be ad-supported.For Teachers who work offline, we will sell an offline client.<br />
<br />
For Teachers to get more information we encourage you to go to our website <a href="http://teach-ware.org/">Teach-Ware.org</a> or to follow us on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/teach_ware">@Teach_Ware</a>. We will launch the registration forms very soon, but if you have any further questions, please Tweet us or email me: <a href="mailto:Jordan@teach-ware.org">Jordan@teach-ware.org</a><br />
<br />
Thanks guys! And Don't forget to spread the word to your local teachers. </div>

I was on last and I got the €2,000 bursary from Peter Casey, which I am so grateful for.Every single project on the show was outstanding and <u>Everyone</u> in my opinion was a winner.Not only did I get the bursary, but I also got a <b>HUGE </b>amount of exposure! I met a number of different contacts, sold a ton of copies, Received 500 Twitter mentions in the space of 10 minutes & made 330 followers within a day, which is amazing!

<b>Update on My Little World and Projects</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, My Little World, how is that going? I know I haven't gave you an update for a while.First things first, I am delaying the release until October, again to give me more time to work on the game, I plan to launch it at an event.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So how is the game development going?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well for the past month or so, I've really been working on back end stuff.Such as: A Save and Load System, A Pause Menu, Main Menu upgrades, animation, I've developed a collision system.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I've taken a break from the game for the next couple of days to focus on exam studying without the worry of the game.But, what I have been doing in other development is:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Thought Jotter: A Note Application for iOS and Android which I plan to work on over the Summer.It is the basic germ for a Social Network I'm building</li>
<li>A web browser series codenamed "C-Browse" The motto is: "Straight to the Point... and Click" It means it doesn't distract you from anything other than web browsing, it saves all your passwords and cookies, etc. I have a Windows pre pre Alpha test written in C# and I plan to write the Mobile & Mac Versions in Flash.I will update you on this</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, what's the one game I've been working on that hasn't had an update in a while? That's right... Food World! </div>
<div>
Well, as you may know we launched the Food World Feedback Test in Early January and I said Feedback was very positive.We took all of your advice and we are currently very close to Full launch.This will include:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A revamped website</li>
<li>A hugely revamped, bigger game</li>
<li>A Food World Animated Series</li>
<li>A registration system</li>
</ul>
We are hugely excited to launch Food World soon and we think it can go places! We currently can't work on it a lot at the moment as Aidan (Our Artist) is doing his GCSEs and I have my Summer Exams.We will keep you very informed on future Food World updates.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well guys, that's it for now, I will keep you updated as much as I can!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks Again guys!</div>

Hey guys, Jordan here.Back with a very quick request.<br />
<br />
"I'm running a second campaign for King of The Web (Last year I was too young) King of the web is an election based thingy ma do hickey where you vote a person to be the king of the web.If you register you get 10 votes per day (Divided or on person of your choice), so if you want to vote me you can vote for me 10 times <b>per day</b>.The top prize for King of The Web is 1,000 second place is 500 and third place is 250 dollars.Either way, if I win one of these I have officially pledged to donate 50% of all my earnings to Water.org! It would mean so much if you could take a minute to vote, all you have to do is <b><a href="http://kingofweb.com/users/thecaseygames" style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">CLICK HERE!</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">Thanks so much guys!</span></b><br />

Hey guys, Jordan here.<br />
<br />
So, a couple of weeks ago I officially announced my latest game, My Little World.I also told you I couldn't really say much about it on account that I was going to be first showing it off at GIG 2013, which I did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9XLxLvROVJ416jfVEJmELH04m0KmVPz8_JF0U2xTR0AX3cd1fx7RjR22-RbFZ4TtYBApTjTocu1fHz1mHBF6gJJ3CRKoVWON-Egg3h-LYQ6SJ5LX_MCO-OQDMqHmLj-NT5c5vOK3jic/s1600/meatgig2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9XLxLvROVJ416jfVEJmELH04m0KmVPz8_JF0U2xTR0AX3cd1fx7RjR22-RbFZ4TtYBApTjTocu1fHz1mHBF6gJJ3CRKoVWON-Egg3h-LYQ6SJ5LX_MCO-OQDMqHmLj-NT5c5vOK3jic/s320/meatgig2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since GIG, I have been working very very very hard to get as of the game done as possible, for a reason that unfortunately, I can't say much about yet.What I can say is, I've been giving the opportunity of a lifetime which regards My Little World and something huge! But, I have to have a version of the game done for March 31st.I hope this version of the game done for the Easter Holidays.But, for those of you wondering when the game will be released on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows 8, I can now reveal: June 15th 2013 for iOS, Android and Mac if all goes to plan (And possibly a bit earlier) and then a month or two later for Windows as I have to completely rebuild the game for it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason: I write my games using Actionscript 3.0, which iOS, Android and Mac support.Unfortunately, Windows 8 does not.But, it's not all bad, as I can convert the Flash version of the game to HTML5 and add the functionality and then wrap it as a Windows 8 app.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pricing:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
iOS - 89c & free lite version</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Android - Free (With advertisements)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mac - €2.49</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Windows 8 - around the €2.49 price point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Extras:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by July, I am trying to get an e-book version of the My Little World story on the iBooks store.It will be free! This is to encourage our players to not only play, but read the story too.This is also because I think the My Little World story could be very interesting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the press:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will also be releasing a Press Release for people who are interested in featuring the game.For people who are interested in reviewing the game, we will release test copies about a week before release.(P.S We will also be giving away iOS copies on Twitter when it's released)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know we've still got some time to go, but I'm very very excited.I will obviously update you guys on the development of the game!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks guys</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There once was a creature, he lived in the back, no bigger then the smallest piece of the smallest piece of grass, his name was JC, he was lonely you see, he was the only one of his kind. And to the big world out there, he was blind.He wanted to know what he was missing, "Adventure, here I come", so he packed for and mapped out his journey, goodbye <b><span style="font-size: large;">My Little World</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey guys, Jordan here.Sorry for not posting as frequently as I would have liked to, but I have been really really busy.I was at the Casual Connect conference in Hamburg last week, was featured on <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/18/a-13-year-old-boy-is-running-his-own-mobile-game-startup/">VentureBeat.com</a> on Monday and yesterday won 1st place in the junior category for the Waterford Student Enterprise awards.As well as that, myself and Aidan are working on an upcoming Food World project.Oh yeah and just to be clear on Food World, Food World is still in the testing stages.You can still play it, but we don't plan to fully launch until a month or so.Ok, before I get into the new game announcement, let's talk about some more awesome news.I'll be at GIG 2013 in the Aviva Stadium next week & I'm going to be speaking at the <a href="http://www.festivalofgames.nl/site/game-conference/speakers">Festival of Games</a> in Amsterdam in April! Which I'm soo excited about! I would also like to thank you to everybody who voted me in the <a href="http://shortyawards.com/category/apps">Shorty Awards!</a> We came in an outstanding 7th place (Just one place off from being an official nominee).We finished with an amazing 32 votes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, awesome, new game announcement! So, I can't say very much yet but what I can do is "announce" it.My Little World is an upcoming, very much cross-platform (iOS, Android, Windows 8 and Mac) Adventure game about a tiny creature named JC who lives in a back garden and wants to see the real world.Hopefully, the first ever gameplay of the game will be shown next week at GIG, but expect a trailer in the next couple of weeks.This is probably the hardest I've ever worked on a game and I'm aiming for a June release.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first screenshot of the game is on the VentureBeat article.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will update you guys soon</div>

Hey guys, Jordan here.As you may have read, Food World went into Alpha last Friday and so to celebrate we hosted an Alpha party.The whole reason of the Alpha party was to find bugs & receive feedback from the yours. 99% of Feedback was amazing, and we are very proud of that.What we had planned to do was close for a week (but we decided to keep Alpha online), work on bugs and new updates and launch Beta the following Friday.So, yes that's exactly what we are doing.Tomorrow, we are launching BETA and yes... we probably will be hosting a party.So, <a href="http://foodworldvw.tk/">http://foodworldvw.tk</a> is Food World's temporary domain.The BETA version will be pushed to the main game at about 7pm. What can you expect?<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A new avatar</li>
<li>2 new rooms (basically 1, as 1 of them is under construction)</li>
<li>ALL the major bugs have been fixed, expect a 99% bug free version of the game.</li>
<li>Unfortunately, we haven't had time to create a registration system, but expect that in the next week.(P.S to know whether it's me and not some im-poster, I will have an exclusive avatar of me, here's what I look like:</li>

Hey guys, Jordan here.Merry Christmas! I know I said I wouldn't announce what Casey Games will be doing for 2013 until December 30th.But, to be honest, I couldn't resist.I would also like to welcome Casey Games' First EVER employee, Aidan Blackett.Aidan is an amazing artist and will be Casey Games' lead art director.So, without further ado, lets announce our new game.</div>

Food World was an idea I came up with in early January 2011.Almost 2 years ago! I planned for it to be a virtual world (like Club Penguin) where you play as food and live in a giant kitchen.With different food-based rooms.Example: The fridge mall.The game failed.One year later, I planned to try do Food World again.So, I founded a games company.I called it Casey Games..Yes the original reason I founded Casey Games was to launch Food World (Seriously look at the first post on the blog).So after working on it, I sort of got bored and you guessed it, produced my first app!But now, because I have better programming skills and an amazing designer, we are going to give it another shot.We have an official blog up and running.<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://foodworldofficialblog.blogspot.com/">Click here to view it!</a> </span>Anyway, we plan to launch VERY Very very very soon & will be having an alpha party for the players (sort of like a meet-up on the game).So stay posted, <a href="http://twitter.com/caseygames">follow me on Twitter</a> and read the blog.We will give you an update very soon.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hey guys, Jordan here.Back with an update! (Note: Minecon video still going, just need time to edit.) I was in India! And before that, London.Which I already spoke about.India is definitely up there with Cannes as some of the best experiences of my life so far.Let me start off by saying, it was different, very very different, but in a good way.We took Air India, which was fantastic! This was my first ever 'long' flight.My longest flight before that was 4 hours so.It was also my first time out of the European continent.I was in Asia! Well, I always think about this.Does it count if you go to the Canaries? Because, technically they are in Africa, but owned by Spain, who are in the EU.Anyway, not the point.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday</span></b><br />
We arrived at 2 in the morning on Thursday.Went to sleep, woke up at 2 PM.Went to 'Connacht Place or CP' it was crowded! It's sort of a shopping complex.We went to Mc Donalds.Which was sorta weird because due to religions beef is very rare in India because their religions don't allow you to eat it.So, I had Chicken Nuggets. :) Then the crazy bit happened.It was getting dark, it was raining, still fairly crowded, we wanted get back to our hotel.But, no Taxis!! What are we going to do? And then we saw it.... <b>AUTO!</b><br />
(Note: this video isn't of me, but you will understand)<br />

Today, I was very very very very very very very tired because, I didn't go to bed Thursday night. :( We met up with the Tedx guys and went to a really nice dinner party, and Eduardo Strauch was speaking (1972 Andes Plane survivors, 16 people survived after 2 months in the Andes mountains after a plane crash and unfortunately, the only way to survive was to result to cannibalism) it was a very very touching story and Eduardo was really nice.We did a dry run of Tedx and...I flunked it, probably because I was tired.<br />

Stay tuned and I will keep you updated!Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09896070289764644162noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087387942456627927.post-63338785536111323112012-11-15T15:42:00.000-08:002012-11-15T15:42:23.890-08:00The Future Of Greenboy TouchHey guys, Jordan here.It's been a while since we last spoke.The last time we spoke was when Greenboy was released on iOS.A lot has happened since then.But, this post isn't the time to talk about it.Yes, I will be talking about.Because, some amazing things have happened.Today I would like to focus on Greenboy Touch & future updates and where I think the game could be heading.Both in the long term and short term.Let's talk about what you can expect in the latest update:<br />
<b>Greenboy Touch Version 1.5! iOS exclusive</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A Completely updated UI to make the game more professional.Feedback has been great, but graphics are said to need work.It's on the way.</li>
<li>Possible Art updates, again with the Graphics</li>
<li>An Entire new open world! P.S: Expect me in it</li>
</ul>
<br /><br />
<br />
Ok, that's currently planned for Version 1.5 of Greenboy Touch & like it says an iOS exclusive.I'll be honest, sales haven't been great on Android and also iOS.Lots downloaded when Free, but not a lot of people bought the game.Which brings me to the long term goals.<br />
Recently speaking at The Smartphone and Tablet Games Summit, I had a chance to catch a few panels and keynotes and what I learned is:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Freemium</b> is the next big thing, I want to make the game free soon, but implement ads, in-app purchases for example:Buying new worlds, Removing ads and things like that.One of the speakers pointed out something interesting:What paid app has ever reached No.1 on the Top Grossing charts? Exactly</li>
<li>I am also interested in things like Virtual Currency and I really like <b>Tapjoy</b>.Tapjoy is a virtual currency system that in the game instead of in app purchases, you click ads that earn you virtual currency in the game to buy virtual goods (Again removing ads or buying new worlds) and how I think this beats in App Purchases is that, even though the user isn't paying for anything, the developer is still monetizing.Question: 'Would you rather unlock a new world by downloading some free, probably fun game or paying real money.Exactly.</li>
</ul>
Considering Greenboy Touch in my opinion is still kind of Beta, these features probably won't be added for another few months.For the time being I am focusing on the latest version and also a HD version for iPad and a port to Windows 8.Thanks guys<br />

This is a massive achievement in my opinion.It's really my first marketed game.It feels like Casey Games' first real release.Alien Ball feels like my game, Greenboy feels like Casey Games.In the beginning I didn't treat it as a company, but now I do.And now that it's a registered company, it's an actual company! I am very proud of this game, this unfinished game.Which is an actual game now, but a quite small game.If you are interested in the press release please <a href="http://twitter.com/caseygames" style="font-weight: bold;">Tweet me: @Caseygames</a>.If you have an iOS device, you get to game for free, but be quick, this is a limited time offer.The game will cost 89c this time next week.I will leave you with that.Thank for your support and I hope you enjoy <strike>my</strike> our latest game<br />
