Chaotic Java

It’s been about half a year since development started on Firewall, my very own game, and after some private testing its time to give it a bit of an extra push. I invite anyone to help test it before it’s launched; so please do! Testing is done via TestFlight, so go to the landing page there or to the Tumblr page for more information. Please note that the game is only available for the iOS platforms as of now, but if things go well I’ll make the effort for an Android port.

Thanks!

Today I noticed something called “Google Friends Connect“, which is supposed to be an embedded version of the Open Social platform Google and other companies are developing. Obviously, with my luck, it’s probably going to be replaced in a few weeks with Google Wave, but until then – let’s enjoy a little social moment.

So, for your pleasure, the GFC widget, right here in Chaotic Java! Join through the top bar, comment through the comments widget, and connect (or something!)
