Blackjack Strategizer 2.0 — Brian Papa

http://bpapa.com/blog/2014/6/11/blackjack-strategizer-20

Blackjack Strategizer 2.0. There’s a new version of Blackjack Strategizer. In the App Store. This was a pretty big update, the biggest yet, so it’s been dubbed 2.0. It’s the iOS 7 update (released after iOS 8 was announced. Sigh, side projects.). A complete graphical overhaul, I got rid of the felt and leather textures to make way for simplified designs that fall in line with the iOS 7 design principles. Usable. So now there are four buttons at the bottom of the screen. Made available in iOS 7. I als...

How to fail at your Kickstarter — Brian Papa

http://bpapa.com/blog/2014/1/14/how-to-fail-at-your-kickstarter

How to fail at your Kickstarter. The funding period for the Ringmaster Kickstarter. Ended without success. 179 backers (well actually, 183 total: apparently 4 people don't understand how Kickstarter's "all or nothing" funding model works)? But, only managing to scrounge up 19% of my goal wasn't pretty cool. So what went wrong? I said it was a "combination of reasons". I'll try to break that down further here. Say enough to get down to $20,000: simplify both single and multiplayer, and cut down from 50 wr...
