By the end of 2014 I will have shipped my first two cross-gen console games. The first was Watch_Dogs, a record breaking open-world title, which narrowly missed the next gen console launch window, but has since gone on to sell over 9 million copies and holds a healthy 80 on Metacritic. The second, is Far Cry 4, a first person action/adventure game, which has recently been seeing a good fan reaction from recent press events and YouTubers. A couple of weeks ago I also took part in a podcast for the game…
With Far Cry 4 a week away from release, I thought I’d address the fact that I’ve also released my first indie game, “Jack B. Nimble” (you can grab it on the App Store for $1.99). I’ll write up a post mortem shortly, containing sales figures, my experiences with iOS, learning Construct 2 and my CocoonJS woes… but until then, I’ll summarise the coverage that I got and leave an update on what’s been going on with my other games.
As this is an English blog, I’ll just link to the English coverage, though of note, I did get covered by a Japanese news outlet – something the child inside me takes great pride in! Oh, and it’s worth mentioning I updated Jack B. Nimble with a free Halloween content update – which garnered it’s own coverage…

I’ve not been working on a lot else outside of future content updates for Jack B. Nimble. The game mentioned in my last post, “Bad Cloud” has been put on hold while the programmer settles into his new job. I really liked the direction we were going in with Bad Cloud, so I hope there’s still a future for it. However, whether or not we come back to this game is up in the air right now, so I’m free to maybe start something new or pick up one of my older prototypes or game jams.
I’d also like to go back and write up the last Ubisoft game jam I took part in - maybe after my Jack B. Nimble post mortem…
Until then!
