If there's anything to learn from the Australian Appstore charts, it's that we're a nation that loves hunting for doodles. A well deserved congratulations must go to Melbourne indie developer, KlickTock, for reaching and holding the top spot in the Apple's free apps section for an entire week with their frantic "Bejeweled Blitz" meets "Where's Wally" hybrid, Doodle Find.
Doodle Find is not a lite edition or limited version of a game - it's the full thing, complete with trophies, achievements,…
It's certainly been a bit quiet on the L.A Noire front since its big reveal in the March edition of Game Informer magazine, but with Rockstar's recent release of Red Dead Redemption, all eyes are now set on their next major release, Team Bondi's long-in-development and anticipated detective thriller game, L.A Noire.
Rocktstar have just pumped out a whole new batch of L.A Noire screenshots to keep the punters reminded that it's coming along nicely for a expected release later this year. No video…
Righto, enough is enough! Over the last few years, and particularly within the last few months, tsumea has been receiving a constant stream of messages and emails from high school students, school teachers, and program directors of special courses, all of whom are requesting further information on work experience in the local games industry. I can imagine that many Australian / New Zealand game studios are getting the same sort of enquiries, and it's unfortunate that in the eight years I've…

Develop 100 ranks the world's games development studios based on the revenues their products made at retail in the UK, and the latest update has two Australian studios making the list. It's the best result we've had so far as a nation in the Develop 100, however, it's rather unfortunate that one of the studios has since closed down.
Krome Studios made an appearance in the Develop 100 list back in 2007, just breaking in a #94. With combined 7 million pounds worth of sales from Transformers:…
A recent game interface job I completed for an Adelaide based iphone/mobile developer. Final graphics included animation on the handkerchief as the rope moves and animated icons on the menu screen. Graphics are all based on photos then heavily edited in Photoshop.
