World…meet children operating technology.  We are dividing our company into a hardcore game division and a kids division, “children operating technology”.

Other updates:  Rocket monkey 1.0.1 submitted.  This is a service update that improves the Openfeint integration and includes some incremental improvements.  We are working on Rocket Monkey 2.0 which will radically enhance gamplay.

Magnetic Personalities received a major shout out on Smashing Magazine and was cited as a great example of button design.

New Apps:  We will be submitting ABC and Number Funtime! this week for the kids and developing some serious games for the grownups to enjoy.

As I write this, I am in a session at the 360idev conference.  This conference has been a great time so far.  We are connecting with other leading iPhone developers for partnerships, acquiring additional resources, app design and development and to share war stories amongst peers.

There is currently an iPhone game jam which is really exciting to think about.  Some of the world’s leading game designers and developers for iPhone are working to make innovative games in a day.  Yilmaz Kiymaz of people operating technology has been involved in organizing this jam and will be of course participating.  I saw a rough prototype already and he’s been developing at light speed.  We will post the results as they become available.  This is game development at its finest.  Thanks to everyone involved and to the the 360idev guys for putting this conference to together.

ON a side note, the huevos rancheros in Denver is amazing.  What better way to fuel a game jam?

We decided to start posting release threads of our apps on the Touch Arcade forums.  Our interest in Touch Arcade began at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference.  We were late to a release party at the museum, however we ventured in anyway.  It was undeniably the best party of the week and we met many of the leaders in the industry there.

There was a space flight competition for Rocket Monkey in which a world record was set and the competition has demonstrated that gamers rule the competition.  More to come.
