Spiky-Haired with Excitement!!! ZOMG!!!!

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

We’ve gone from one ‘banned‘ comic, to a heap of content. Project Number Two is almost complete and we’ve got three more really impressive projects being built as we speak. As soon as they appear on the App Store, we’ll post the URLs here so keep an eye or even better, subscribe!

We’ve spent the last few days accosting strangers in cafés and showing them the MURDERDROME comic and watching their jaws drop when we reveal some of the features that didn’t even appear on the YouTube video. We’ve also had the opportunity to show it off at the last local Mobile Monday event.

As well as some really cool stuff we can’t talk about, we’ve been invited to demo the application at a local business networking event. The MURDERDROME comic #0, even without half the features, was described as:

“one of the most promising pieces of technology from the province this year”.

We’re homing in on project number two…

And, by ‘homing in on’ I don’t mean ‘deciding’ or ‘getting ready to think about’ I mean, in a couple of days we should be sending Project Number two to the Apple Store.

What to expect? Well… something different. So different we’re going a slightly different name (though, not that different). You’ll understand when you see it.

Personally, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this could just reinvigorate the comic book industry or create what the comic world has sorely needed for the last decade. I wouldn’t go so far to say that… but I’d defend the right of anyone who would…

That Youtube video

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Hi gang, you can read an interview with me (PJ) here.

Our little youtube video seems to be the featured video for youtube in a number of areas:

This seems to be something of a double edged sword - our hits have gone through the roof but we’re drawing in a lot of people wondering what exactly is so exciting about a silent video of someone’s fingers swiping across an iPod touch screen. (To settle any heated arguments: it’s an iPod touch, I used the phrase ‘iPhone’ because it was shorter - the comics will work on either…)
So, right now, we’re looking at over 25k of hits. S’not bad. Imagine if I’d thought to include sound in that sucker!

Leaks? What leaks?

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Here at infurious HQ, I’m something of a leaky bucket. It’s just to darn-gosh-hard to contain the excitement of the stuff we’re doing. Yeah, it’s a shame about Murderdrome, but it’s certainly not dead. Just … waiting. In the meantime, if you hear the name John McCrea mentioned… well… you didn’t hear it from me…
