You’re the (Nexus) One That I Want: Confessions of an iPhone Lover Gone Astray
To protect the innocent, names have been changed. In this publication, a once-faithful iPhone lover will be referred to with a fictional Twitter name: @madluv4iPhn. A recent tweet: @madluv4iPhn Dear iPhone - I've met someone new named the Nexus One. I'm strangely attracted to her and need a few days to figure ...)
What SOPA Means for Gaming PR
SOPA. It's much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you ...)
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You're gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming ...)
Foursquare Badge Fun, from Super Bowl to Subtle Snark
Beginning at kickoff today (6:30pm ET on FOX), Foursquare will open up a special edition check-in point globally to all users - look for the promoted trending venue, "Super Bowl Sunday". If you missed out on the "PA Groundhog Day" badge earlier this week (when Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early ...)
Angry Birds Super Bowl Ad's Got Game
Angry Bird players are set for a special bonus this Super Bowl Sunday. The iPhone game's upcoming 30-second commercial is all the buzz today - apparently, it will feature an embedded code to unlock a secret new level. According to AdAge, "the spot will be the first Super Bowl ad ...)
Refunding a Free Admission: Taking Care of Customers in F2P
Last week, on the TriplePoint blog, I wrote a short piece about taking care of angry customers when the service has been poor. I advised providers to be forthright, humble, and to make an immediate reparatory gesture for best results. Karma, it seems, is a real kick in the teeth ...)
Snarky Facebook RPG Fantasy University Now Open to All
Fantasy University, the pop-culture referencing, snarktastic, Facebook-based roleplaying game from TriplePoint client Simutronics (which we previewed), entered open beta today - meaning, unlike before, anyone with a Facebook account can get in on the Harry-Potter-on-acid antics. Here's the press release: ELANTHIA - October 20, 2010 Fantasy University, the premier fallback institution for ...Archive | Industry RSS feed for this section
East Coast Game Conference is Happening in April
Triangle Game, Triangle Game. Triangle Game hates Particle Game. They have a conference; Triangle wins, by hosting their own huge industry conference on the East Coast. And Particle Game isn’t invited. But you are, thankfully: Triangle Game Initiative, a TriplePoint client, today confirmed the dates for the 4th annual East Coast Game Conference, occurring in Raleigh, [...]
OneSchool Shows Up at Eight Schools
24. January 2012
You can learn a lot at just one school. It would be extremely inconvenient if you had to go to separate institutions for communications, business, gastronomy, and cartography. Thankfully, there’s just OneSchool for all of that. OneSchool, a TriplePoint client you could learn from, just closed a $750,000 seed round and launched the OneSchool app [...]
SoftKinetic is Not SoftSpoken
20. January 2012
Earlier this month, at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, many new advances were revealed in the field of gesture recognition technology. While engineers are still working on an automated system to cut you off after you drunkenly expose yourself to a slot machine, TriplePoint client SoftKinetic had some actual new tech to show [...]
What SOPA Means for Gaming PR
13. January 2012
SOPA. It’s much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you weigh in too? Why [...]
Yo Nyko Nyko!
10. January 2012
Normally, when you’re in Las Vegas and you wake up next to a strange, overly affectionate creature, it means you had a really interesting evening. Thankfully, TriplePoint client Nyko is in Las Vegas right now at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, helping to make your mornings a little less unsavory — and your gaming a [...]
Mythos Global Becomes Slightly More Global
9. January 2012
Good news, Mythos Global fans! It turns out TriplePoint clients Redbana, along with HanbitSoft and T3Fun, have decided that people around the globe should get to play Mythos Global. What a swell thing to do! Along with news that the game’s Open Beta Test is starting soon, the companies have announced that players in most [...]
Conquer Online Conquers Online
5. January 2012
When you call your game Conquer, you’re giving it a lot to live up to. If the game doesn’t crush everything in its path, the irony-based taunting comes easily to its detractors. So, it’s both impressive and fortunate that TriplePoint client NetDragon is seeing a great deal of success with Conquer Online, the iPad-based MMO [...]
SpotON Radio Will Spot You Some Spotify Selections
3. January 2012
I consider it a personal failing that I’m not using Spotify yet. Well, that, or a failing of the constantly struggling connection and bandwidth where I’m writing from, but, still — a failing. Now, just to add insult to injury, I’m also missing out on SpotON Radio, a new app from TriplePoint client Springworks AB. [...]
Power Hour Court Dispute Nears Close
29. November 2011
The verdict is nearly in on Fun v Lawyers Spagnola v Roose, which will forever determine whether the wholesome pursuit of drinking to ridiculous excess will be forever tainted by corporate trademark. Ali Spagnola, alcohol-fueled artist, entrepreneur and owner of Binge Responsibly (a TriplePoint client), has issued an update on her ongoing court battle to [...]
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
24. July 2011
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You’re gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming industry do the same? Are [...]
Doctor Who Online Game Announced, F2P MMO Coming from Three Rings and BBC
24. February 2011
Three Rings, the folks that brought you Puzzle Pirates, have announced the development of a new free-to-play MMO — and it’s set in the world of Doctor Who. While it’s not the first game set in the world of Daleks, Sonic Screwdrivers, and phone booth time machines not piloted by Keanu Reeves, it is the [...]
Metro Apps Launches Smarter Smartphone Publishing Program in UK, EU
23. February 2011
The comScore 2010 Mobile Year in Review includes a few factoids about which mobile users are smarter: according to the report, in the US, smartphone adoption reached roughly 1 in 4 mobile subscribers (27%).
