Second meeting

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Held our second internal, face-to-face meeting on Feb 15th. Changes from the last meeting…

  • Three new team members.
  • Apple Developer Status had been approved. If we had a paid app to ship that day, we could have done so.
  • Internal webboards, CVS server and a slew of other internal issues had been addressed.

We also had a working prototype for “Bowls”. Things were starting to get real fun.


Bottlerocket implodes

Friday, February 6th, 2009

On Feb 6th Bottlerocket Entertainment went under. 70+ employees. No warning. No severance. Seriously, a horrible situation for all involved. On the bright side for OM, we were able to enlist some great, talented folks that we knew from back in the Presto Studios days.

In more ways than one, this was starting to feel like Presto 2.0. Familiar faces. Familiar issues. We’ve come an amazing distance in just 3 weeks.

The “fun” level was increasing tremendously. Working with old friends is one of the best feelings in the world.
