Funtoxication and Monkey Madness

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Try Catch Games in partnership with North Loop Media, will be releasing Funtoxication and Monkey Madness for the iPhone and iTouch by the end of July for 99 cents each. Try Catch Games was brought on not only to concept but also to develop the application for iPhone and Flash. On top of this we developed two separate websites for both applications, which can be found at: www.funtoxication.com and www.monkeymadnessapp.com

We plan on releasing the Flash version to portals as a promotional tool, this is a proven technique to increase sales for iPhone apps. Check out the above links and let us know what you think!

Don’t get ahead of yourself

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Making games is hard work.  It takes planning, creativity, code, sound and lots of ambition but most of all it takes money.  Unless you have rich relatives that give you a big chunk of money because they believe in your game as much as you do, you have to find work on top of your passion game.

All of us at TCG are experienced in taking on freelance work.  However, we want to do games under the TCG banner.  By working with other indie/casual game shops we have been doing just that.  Along with all this client work we are developing Moonlight Lament and we are going to take our time with it.  With no real set deadline, it will get done when its ready.  With that said, we won’t be lazy with it.  We just realize the beast we are creating.

Even though this will be a Flash game first we will release this for XNA as well.  With the Flash version we are still figuring out how we will make money with it.  I will tell you this, we won’t be using much, if any, advertising.  Its absolute crap for making money right now.

GDC

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Three of us Try Catchers are currently awaiting our red eye flight a few hours from now but I wanted to post some GDC thoughts.  Even though I don’t know the ultimate outcome of our work at the GDC, I am very encouraged by it.  We have met up with lots of passionate game industry professionals and aligned ourselves with them in an effort to work with them in the near future.  I wasn’t quite sure about trekking out here to San Fran, but now I am very happy that we did.

Also, there will be Casual Connect happening in July I do believe in Seattle.  Matt and I are already planning on attending that as lots of casual game developers loved what we had to say about using Flash to demo their games on portals.

We have loads of exciting things coming up.  We will be sure to log them all here so check back often!

4k Flash Game Competition

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Its ON! The 4k competition put by Urban Squall and Gaming Your Way, has been getting a lot of positive press around the net and a rousing response from the Flash game development community. Personally, I have completed my entry and plan on turning it in around the deadline time of March 9th. It was a lot of fun to make and only took me a few hours to complete, but then, of course, I had to tweak it with graphics, extras and optimization.

It’s good to keep your skills sharp with these types of contests and to have a face in the Flash game development community. Lots of my personal close friends (in real life) are doing the competition as well. Minnesota represent! If you would like to learn more about the contest check it out here.
