BEHOLD! My very first Dev Diary. As you can tell, things have been moving a little slower than I had hoped. I’m not too worried though, I’ve learned a lot and seeing the game at such an early stage will be great to look back on in a few months. I have two more little bits of news too.

A New Name: Tiny Turrets

As it turns out, a game called “Tiny Defense” just launched on the App Store. They sent me a kind email asking me to rename so I turned to trusty twitter to find “Tiny Turrets”. Terrific! (Seriously, try saying that fast – I now have a speech impediment)

A Coding Time Lapse

This Time Lapse documents me putting together the Gui System. It’s pretty short and not all that interesting, but it does give you a bit of an insight into my work flow. I should note – I actually hid my browser in this time lapse, I spent almost 50% of my time checking the cocos2D forums and stack overflow… not all that fun to watch.

You’ll also notice I’m working full screen in XCode and using “ALT TAB”. It makes a ton of difference to my productivity.
