A New Quarter

As a group, we have now discussed and outlined our various milestones for this next phase of our game development. I think we all have a pretty good idea what we expect to be able to accomplish during this quarter and it should prove to be quite exciting. In my opinion, we collaborated very well as a group last quarter. Although we each had "official" assigned roles, we all contributed to the project in a variety of ways, with each of us taking on the roles of developers, testers and integrators as needed. I expect that will be the case this quarter as well, and I look forward to seeing what further progress we will make on the game.

Something I noticed recently (and we have discussed as a group) is that the founder of Corona seems to left the company and started up another game development platform. The website is lanica.co. One of the products described there is Platino, "a cross-platform (iOS and Android) native game engine built for Appcelerator Titanium". Hm, sounds familiar. I will be very interested to see what the future holds for this platform in comparison/contrast to Corona. This underscores the fact that the relatively new industry of mobile app development continues to be an exciting and rapidly changing one. Nonetheless, even if we were starting the project right now, Corona would still be the way to go since from everything I can tell it is still one of the most popular and robust platforms, with a seemingly strong community of developers making use of it.
