Last week I talked about playing around with some prototypes and thinking about ideas for my next project under Chronik Spartan Games. By the end of the week I’d come to a conclusion of where I wanted to head next and that was a Tycoon game based around building a Gym empire. Over the past …
I’ve been bouncing between Gym Tycoon and Gym Empire for the past weeks trying to decide which name is best. In the Tycoon corner I feel it would be nice have Tycoon in the name as it stands out for me and takes me back to the good old days of the original Tycoon games. …
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 …

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 …
Now from the outset, I don’t claim to be anywhere near the levels of even thinking I could be too big for anyone to review or play my games. Even if I ever were successfully enough to consider myself “big” I am someone who genuinely believes we should never consider ourselves better simply due to …
Last week was a great one! The build up to the PLAY Expo went really well and the expo itself went even better! I also started to get a few responses from my marketing emails which has been nice. Thanks to the 5000+ attempts at GLO over the weekend I was able to come away …
