The iPhone game we created for the Global Game Jam been accepted by the App Store, and is now available for purchase!

"Vile Haberdashery" is a nasty, disreputable little multiplayer game where players are cast as noble siblings vying for a great haberdashery fortune. Through blackmail, flattery, intimidation, and a little eavesdropping, you can coerce your subordinates into murdering the other would-be heirs. Can you get the doctor to kill your sister with the garden shears? Or will your brother get the stable boy to poison you with rat poison? Who will walk home with the inheritance?

You are one clever cat.

Initially I, along with the other dozen people, were pretty shocked at your decision to approve the Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center as a suitable location for the GGJ, but it all makes sense to me now.

The theme was 'deception', and here all of us were deceived into thinking we were going somewhere that had computers, on-site security, development tools, and generally complied with your list of what was required to host a location. We even thought there was going to be a presentation at the end, as mentioned on the site's schedule!

Our programmer can beat the game in three minutes. Can you beat that?

I loved the Global Game Jam!! Everything was great: the community, the people, the experience, the game we finished in time, “Land the Mime“. This is the postmortem that I wrote.

These are on one Robin Joos' blog (the awesome 2D Artist on the team), but i figured I should put them up here as well.

So here's some in game shots of our game 'Spaniard In Space'!
