We love making apps. In fact, we work on them every day! Like I mentioned earlier this week, we have quite a few announcements. Our latest app announcement is something unlike anything we have created before. Mobile devices allow for people to customize the look and feel, so we wanted to give a beautiful background that is more than just a static image.
The first game we launched on the NOOK Color was Hangman in June of 2011. Since then, we launched 22 additional apps to the Barnes and Noble NOOK App Store. Many of them, including Hangman, have been on the top of the charts and something we are all very thankful for. We’ve gotten many heart warming notes from players just wanting to let us know they really enjoy our games. We also keep getting a lot of wonderful suggestions for our games. This is all because, in part, to taking that first step with releasing Hangman.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving time and got to spend some time with their friends and family. I think I ate enough stuffing to float a small car. Now that we are looking at the final days of the year, we aren’t winding down like the countdown to 2012.
This week, we’ll have a few game announcements that we’re sure that will please. We’re also in the middle of a “friends and family” test for a new game we are still working on, but not quite ready to talk about. We did go over and improve the loading speed on the site but stay tuned for more announcements!
Have you ever opened a fresh sheet of paper and started doodling without thinking? It’s one of those things that you don’t realize is happening until you look down and see tiny sketches of objects you created. Drawdle, developed by One Side Software, is a physics puzzle game that asks players to color some doodles in a very creative way.
It has now been 1 month since starting Inside the Toy Box and we’re already talking about delicious pastries. Actually, Rob came to me with a cool topic for this week.
