game time for cafe murder, folks!
Cafe Murder is up and running! Just click this link and you can buy Zack and Eli's game and play it on your smartphone for less than $2. (I have a dumb phone, sadly.)
The official release party will be June 8th in Atlanta. If I had planned ahead, I would be there, to shake their hands and give them big hugs, too.
For the International Gaming festival, the guys at Beaver Toad Software made this video about how to play the game. Quite informative and fun, too! I'm not sure I could keep up with all the food flying around the room - and keep Stabby from killing the diners - but that bazooka o'sandwich is a handy tool. Oh, yeah!
Apparently, many concepts of electronic games never make it into this stage of life. I am so very proud of Zack Wood and Eli Burke, two guys from Georgia, not Simi Valley, who dared to dream it and then put in the many long hours of WORK to get it done.
Again, Good job, y'all!
And happy birthday to me!

Cafe Murder in the Press
Here are two (glowing) reviews of the game we've had so far:
http://jayisgames.com/archives/2013/05/cafe_murder.php
http://mobile.indiegamemag.com/indie-intros-cafe-murder/
And I don't think I ever shared my article on Gamasutra, which was a hit and re-tweeted more times than I could count. I guess more people are interested in Japanese game design than I anticipated: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/193315/characters_and_worldbuilding_.php
And finally, my new blog about game design, which racked up the page views thanks to the article above: http://gamemakeworld.wordpress.com
Feel free to share any of the above! Or this one (Cafe Murder in the App Store): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cafe-murder/id650453307?ls=1&mt=8
Yay/thanks!!

Cafe Murder in "Food Arts"
We were featured in "Food Arts" today:

Love that article! It's a well-known and highly respected publication among chefs and foodies, so I hope the joy of Cafe Murder spreads among them!
We also recently had a good write-up on 148apps.com, a major app review site. I have to admit that we get really high marks across the board on gameplay- pretty good for our first game ever!
And here is a link to the trailer for Cafe Murder:

Enjoy, y'all!
