I’ve got some good news and some bad news. First the good. I’ve been offered the chance to work for one of the coolest companies in the world. Starting Monday, I’ll officially be an iPhone Applications QA Engineer for Apple Inc. in California! It’s a great opportunity for me and my family. New start, new life, new scene! I’m super excited and I can’t wait to start!
Now the bad news. Because I’ve accepted this offer, I can’t develop any new apps or content for the App Store. It could be deemed unfair if an Apple employee was also creating apps and getting paid, as it is a conflict of interest. Sadly, this means that there will be no more new games or content updates from Solid 7 Studios. Of course, our current games and apps will still receive support in the form of free updates and bug fixes. Just no new content or features.
It’s been a blast being able to design games. It’s always been a dream to be able to create something that millions of people can play and enjoy. Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way. This journey has been one that I won’t soon forget. The App Store has taught me many things about this industry, and now I hope to take what I’ve learned and help make the iPhone the best phone in the world!
Thanks again to everyone! I’m off to Cupertino!
