I finished up the main title page for our new circus game. It's coming along nicely, I hope we have it all done by the middle of next month.

Jo has finished all the code for the powerups and I drew up some images for them last night. Here are their little icon representations.

So our next game is a remake of Circus Atari, which is one of the greatest games of all time. Here is a little bit of art for the game.

The way we have been going about all this app building process is pretty fun. We create the game first on the ipad and afterwards port it down to it's little brothers, the iphone / ipod versions.

We do it this way because if it works on the ipad, it will most likely work on the smaller phones and ipods. The ipad has the same amount of ram as the phones, and since the images and animations are smaller they will run better on the phones than the larger pads.

The art has to be drawn larger originally for the ipad, as it can scale down to the phone easier than it is to scale an image up. So I draw everything at 1024 x 768 for the ipad, and convert it down to 480 x 320 for the phones. 

Simon HD has 40 unique images that had to be scaled down, which took me about an hour to do. Now it is just up to Jo to get it running bug free on the phones :)

I've been working in Illustrator today on the background art for our new iphone and ipad game. The game is a remake of circus atari, which is one of the greatest games from my childhood. Gotta make sure we do it right :)
