Nordic.js: Building Distributed Systems Working with cutting edge technology at GoldFire Studios has afforded me the opportunity to share what I've learned with the community by speaking at development conferences all over the country. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to take those lesson overseas when I spoke at the incredible Nordic.js conference in Stockholm, Sweden in October.

CasinoRPG Launches on iOS and Android Development began on CasinoRPG way back in the fall of 2012 with the goal of creating a truly cross-platform gaming experience. We focused on browsers because we were (and still are) believers in the power of the open web. Our Kickstarter re-emphasized this cross-platform future with stated goals of releases on both iOS and Android. We are nearing the end of 2017, and CasinoRPG is still a largely desktop-centric experience. However, that is all about to change in a big way! We are excited to... Read More [] |
