Update 1.11 / the big one: this version will be the official release. I decided that beta time was over. 5,957,884 dead iubes sounds like enough, actually! Even if the game by itself isn’t finished, and I don’t plan to stop updating it (I’ve got tons of ideas to implement), I guess it’s time to release it before going further.

Now… well… what I’m supposed to do? How do you really release an indie game? I’m going to find out quite soon…

It’s not that I’m releasing iubes “slowly”. In fact, release by itself is a slow process. Desura needs a boxshot. Humble asks for a W-8BEN form for non-US residents (and what the hell is a notional principal contract?). And so on…

And now writing the official press release.

One month passed since my last post! iubes has been “officialy” released and everything worked fine! Pretty enjoyable actually.

It’s really fun to see names from all over the world ; even if I have a buyer overrepresentation from Norway and Japan, due to a couple of papers and word of mouth. BTW it’s fun to check country specific statistics too. Japan guys tend to play way faster! Yep… but Norway dudes play better. Anyway… I never took the time to thank all of you directly, thus you’ll get a thank you gift soon!

Meanwhile… I stepped back from iubes to take the time to think about future updates and where I want iubes to go. I have found out. I’m currently working on a major update which should be really fun. Be ready for a whole additional challenge! I’ll resume iubes’ promoting after that.

Meanwhile 2… I started my 2nd game. More news to come. But now, I’m going back to work, go.

Update 1.12 // back for you dears! It took ages… but here is at last the first update since the official release. Some bugs fixed, some new maps, some improvements… but above all, a new game mode.

Selfie mode: originally this mode was designed for pure testing purpose… but it proved to be actually a nonesuch strategy feature. Be careful, it’ll mess your brain at some point!

I’ve taken some time to prepare my first present for iubes’ buyers. INSWAP is an almost never released puzzle game I made years ago. I’ve dug up its sourcecode from my archives: everything compile and run fine… it should be emailed to you later this week!

Little drawback: I wasted my whole day playing with this game…

Lot of players are always asking for new ingame sound tracks, here is the first of the new set!

Really this is a really tiny news, but i do confess you’ll have to wait a little more before getting more exciting news about iubes’ future...
