I always love being surprised like this — reading along about someone creating a game and it turns out they’re using Corona SDK. Sweet! Plus, the lady behind the game has an awesome haircut and juggles! 🙂 My Game Development Story: Dorothy Finnigan | Technovation Challenge
Although written for academic-based development teams, the 9 tips here are at least worth considering. I disagree with the “interview quiz” part, but in general it’s good info. 😉 usc interactive media division | Blog | 9 Tips For Building A Game Development Team
Recently I posted a list of the top four reasons people like Corona SDK — and coming up with the top four was easy because of all the responses I received, there were only a couple that fell outside the top four. I also asked people what they liked least about Corona SDK and that […]
It’s all about how a company is making zillions — except they mention a couple things that are worth pondering. Most interesting to me is the way they create games using 3-person teams, get them on to the web, and if they’re successful there they go ahead and expand them and push them to mobile […]

The article from Gamasutra linked below is cool for the info and for showing a piece of the puzzle dependency chart from Grim Fandango. If you’re interested in creating adventure games you may as well listen to the guys […]

Lots of info about the general kid’s entertainment industry, including games. If you’re doing software that is supposed to appeal to kids, it might be […]
I’m not a game developer in the Arab world (or even of Arabian descent) but this article has some good information from a panel discussion. It’s not deep info — it’s basically a quick 6 bullet points — but it’s worth the read. A Dose of Reality for Game Developers in the Arab World | […]
