I read this today on my twitter stream:

If we eliminated all kids apps that use the Concentration matching game, and/or a 'sticker' page, that would eliminate A LOT of apps. #iOS

Made me sad for a moment to think, yes, we are inventing a better mosuetrap here. But now I think we need a sticker page. :p

@tracilawson If we eliminated all adult games that use shooting as the core mechanic, we wouldn't have much left either.

update

Tonight we just decided to push on with the previous week's to-dos. In general terms, D2 is going to crack on developing, and D1 is going to keep drawing and producing.

D1 is expecting that after some experimentation, the animal colouring game will need to be recut. D2 to inform D1 the optimal way to send pieces of animals for the colouring game.

Great to see our first noise on the flip cards game!

A 'hooray!!".

I feel like we've earned it.

Next week we'll review where we are at. We might just need to keep going with the existing to-do list. What would be nice is to walk through how D1 changes a graphic and uploads it to the server. Lets play that by ear.
