Summary<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • From dream to reality, a story of how a \u2018Dad\u2019 publishes a game on Xbox<\/li>\n
  • An extra coat of polish goes a long way, even on a purple slimeball<\/li>\n
  • When a child runs out of games to play, make one!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    \u201cDad, I can\u2019t find many games I can play\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cOk darling, what sort of game would you like to play? Should I make you one?\u201d<\/p>\n

    And that\u2019s how it started. Just over a year ago now, my five-year-old daughter told me most of our Xbox games were too hard for her to play. After some curation, we managed to gather a neat little group of games \u2013 but the idea of creating one for her and kids like her had stuck\u2026<\/p>\n

    As a game developer, I never landed a gig with a studio developing for Xbox. I thought, oh how prestigious it would be, being part of a crew working on an Xbox title (a life-long dream mind you). A few months into development of BouncyBoi in Puzzleland<\/em>, there was quite a bit of interest shown \u2013 so I gave my demo a coat of polish and sent it away to [email\u00a0protected] for submission. I crossed all fingers and toes.<\/p>\n
