Helvetication

We finally released our helveticaion game that’s available on the app store!

I think we don’t really know if it’s a success or not, since we really didn’t put any expectations around it and we aren’t sure how we should market this.

But in this brief experience I realize that writing and selling apps is actually quite easy and fun, and also rewarding.

The moment you see your app live in your iphone, playing and seeing the possibilties, it just starts all different kinds of imagination.

It’s also really fun seeing other people’s reactions to this, and how they’re having fun as well.

The only part that I wish could happen is to see people around me also loving it (like my wife), but you really need to be into helvetica or fonts in order to really love the game, otherwise it just feels like a quiz.

But it’s totally fun to build fun and beautiful experiences for people that cares :)

I believe our next steps for iphone apps will be 1) enhance and fix issues with helvetication  2) brainstorm and execute ideas around data visualization.

More to come soon!
