Something I learnt whilst developing Glo, is that although a quick dev cycle is great for productivity, it is actually terrible for marketing. I believe that once someone becomes relatively successful then a quick dev cycle can work as marketing should be easier if you are more well known. However, for someone still starting out …
Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a great week so far! Halloween was great fun and Neo had a great time trick or treating for the first time in his life. He even managed to overcome his moment of pure fear when he was greeted at one of the houses by a corridor full of adults …
Well not quite. I’m still 100% behind Glo and there is still a lot of work that can be done in marketing it and supporting it for the community. Also there are a few more reviews planned for the next few weeks so it will be nice as they trickle through. However, in reference to …
It’s done! After 3.5 months of hard work Glo is finally released and available to buy. Yesterday was a strangely surreal and exciting day. Yet overall it was pretty relaxed. Over the past few months I’ve read and listened to countless post mortems of developers releasing their games. One thing I’d noticed is that a …

Yesterday I spent the whole day getting Glo close to its finished state. It was a long day but thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. Glo is now just a few small changes away from completion. It’s really exciting. But even at this late stage I’m still looking at making some changes to things such as the …
A really good week this week! Got loads done and I got some really good news I’m excited to share in the next couple of days. Last week’s tasks included: Finish the remaining 21 levels – got all if these done with a late addition of a new block type for the final 10 levels …
