Howdy! I just wanted to let you all know I'm on a tv show called Quirky that is on the Sundance Channel at 10pm eastern.

It is basically about me and a product idea I submitted to a website that develops inventor's ideas.

It is worth watching, so please tune in!

Here is a link to my bio for the show.

Howdy! So I'm a fairly regular face on the TV show Quirky on the Sundance Channel that premiered Tuesday at 10PM. I was only on the first episode for a few seconds but later in the season I'm on a FULL episode! Interesting stuff so be sure to watch Quriky on the Sundance Channel.

You can watch the first episode on Hulu right now! http://www.hulu.com/watch/270233/quirk y-huge-gamble-huge-reward

Anyway I'm also looking for some nice catchy upbeat music for my first iPhone app. I don't have any money to go buy something but if you are a musician wanting exposure and you have something that you can license to me that would be awesome. I will put your name on the splash screen with a Music By: credit.

Here is an image of the title menu. It is a very simple game where sometimes blocks fall but it speeds up as it goes to it needs to be a fun little song that can loop without being to annoying.

I'm on TV! And I'm looking for also music for an iPhone app!

I'm making some progress on releasing more games for the iPhone. I'm also working on an awesome game with MindChamber that will rock the socks.

I believe I completed my work on Abobo's Big Adventure. It was a hit at Comic Con and it seems to be pretty bug free! I'm really excited to see this one come out for all of you. It's going to be a MASSIVE game that you are all going to love. OR ABOBO WILL RIP YOUR TONSILS OUT THROUGH YOUR BELLY BUTTONS!!!

Buy a copy for 99 cents and help me pay the bills and keep making games! If you like the original Globs you will get LOADS more than 99 cents worth of entertainment from this really well done app!

I have been really busy working to keep a roof over my head so please get the app and tell your friends. That will help me get a little less stressed out day to day.

Thanks, and I hope you like the game!

Howdy! I just wanted to let it be known that my friend Matt and I am working on the new Primary game and it's looking pretty good. We are working on a trailer right now and ironing out the level designs and how we want things to look and feel in the game, as well as the enemies that you will encounter in the game.

If you are interested and would like to take a look at some of the concept art for the game take a gander over here... http://primarygameblog.blogspot.com/

Luis is coming to my neck of the woods this month, hopefully I can make it to the NG meetup on the 27th and hang out with all my fellow Newgrounders. I might be flying out to New York to be on TV at the end of the month though and if that's the case I might miss the Meetup.

In other news Abobo is smashing his way though my brains but I think he is almost done, so that's good.

OH And I'm still trying to give away that Wacom Tablet to anyone willing to send me stuff for my office. It's pretty bland in here guys. PM me with an image or description of the stuff you would be willing to send me and if I like it I'll give you my address. Please no more Twilight posters.

Here is an early concept of the look of the new Primary game, The ground will change a bit and be more 3D but it looks pretty snazzy.

Primary 2 in development, check out the blog!

Howdy everypeoples!

So first off my Plunger Snake idea is up for sale on Quirky.com

http://www.quirky.com/products/100-Nau tilus-Toilet-Plunger

You might notice that it no longer has a snake in it and it costs 50 bucks... Can't say I'm overly pleased with the process but from the demos that I have seen this thing will shove a watermelon through a tailpipe.

If you have a credit card you can pledge to buy one and help me get it closer to the threshold. When you pledge you don't get charged and you won't get charged until you CONFIRM that you want the item after it gets past threshold.

So pledge to buy as many as you can, cause the more you actually buy the more money you earn from sales from this point on.

Also if you can like it on facebook and tell your friends I would appreciate it.

In other news.... I made a game for the game jam called Catch 51. Play it!

My product on Quirky is up for sale!  Pledge to buy one! AND A NEW GAME!

Howdy everypeoples! I'm still looking for awesome stuff to put on the walls of my new office. I don't have any money though and I have a Wacom tablet that I don't use so I'm holding a little contest.

Send me a picture of the stuff that you are willing to send me and if I like it I'll give you an address to send it to. One lucky person who sends me something will get a free Wacom Graphire3 tablet. It's a bit dated but still works great! And you can't beat the price!

I did wind up putting something on the wall though... A rear view mirror so I can see people sneaking up on me when I'm wearing my headphones.

As far as game development goes... I'm making some serious strides with the level I'm working on for the upcoming Abobo's Big Adventure game. Should be able to get it into the game and test it soon I think.

My plunger through Quirky.com is nearing the end of the development process and is getting ready to go on presale. I plan on making a game to try to get some extra sales of the plunger once it is done if it isn't to expensive.

And... My birthday is this week... the big 30. I will more than likely be working since I don't have enough friends in the area to party with. No biggy though I suppose.

Here is a pic of my rear view mirror. Thus far the ONLY thing on the walls of my office.

Win a FREE Wacom tablet from ME!  I need stuff for my office!


Posted by JackSmack - March 30th, 2011


Hello there! So yeah I am renting out an office for the next few months to see how that effects my productivity. I've been hit or miss working at home so hopefully getting out of the house will help me get better control over my mojo. Hopefully I will be more diligent and productive with this new space at my disposal.

As you can see from the picture below it's pretty bland in there... it's basically a large white box that I'm sitting in by myself. I posted on twitter about it and some people have been nice enough to offer to send me some stuff to put on the walls which is nice!

I thought I would just say that I am totally open to being sent swag or drawings to put up. I'll be posting updates when I get something new.

If you would like to send me some stuff for the office let me know what it is and who you are and if I think I can trust you I will give you my address. Please no dead cats in a box or anything... after the first 3 times you find those in your mailbox it's not that funny any more.

I'm pretty sure I will get several pictures of dicks or something... I wonder how my landlord will take that if I put them up...

Just to sweeten the pot if I get something really cool I will give away my old wacom tablet that I don't use anymore. It's a bit dated (graphire 3) but still works really well and I've made quite a few projects with it. It's a wonderful starter tablet and it's in great shape!

I've got a dull office! Send me something cool and you might win a Wacom tablet!

So in the last game jam I made BearBound with TurkeyOnAStick and ChartsOverHearts. I'm torn on whether or not to sign up for this game jam.

I have other things I should be working on but it's tempting. I really don't care for the random word theme generator though. That makes the theme of the game way to narrow in my opinion, and doesn't leave me much room for exploring the idea since it pretty much spells it out.

I've gotten a few people asking me if I was going to participate or not apparently they are allowing people to team up before they start the Jam... kinda changing the entire formula of the NG game jam but it's cool I guess. Should I enter the Jam guys or should I just let this one slide?

OTHER COOL STUFF:

I've been making waves over at Quirky.com. I already have one product that won and is going to be made, and now I'm in the finals again with a cool water pitcher design, and I think I'm in another final for a back to college design competition. If you had told me at Christmas that I would be an inventor by Valentine's Day I would have laughed in your face but I might just have 3 products on shelves by the end of the year. Funny how that works.

Anyway if you guys can help me with my newest idea that would be awesome, it's called the Breezy Broom, it's a broom that you hook a can of compressed air up to. You pull the trigger and it shoots air at the hard to reach dirt and gets it out in the open.

http://www.quirky.com/ideations/55309

To Jam or Not to Jam that is the question...
