One of the things we love to see is homebrewers using the skills they’ve honed with devkitPro toolchains to enter the commercial market. The most recent programmer to take the next step is Lacey who you might know if you visit the Blitzed dev channels on a regular basis.
His company, Tin Man Games, has just released their first iPhone/iPod Touch title so why not help him make his mark in the industry by grabbing Frootrees from the iTunes store now? It looks like a great little game and the £0.59/$0.99 price point is an absolute steal.
We hope to see many more homebrewers follow in Lacey’s footsteps and wish him good luck.
Whatever happened to Moon Books?

After a few months out to (under the) sea, Dovoto has surfaced and is looking forward to getting the site back up to speed.
We have a new look and a better back end with plans for new features and content.
We are still without a news poster so most of the upcoming updates will be pretty specific to the projects the drunkencoders and devkitPro team are working on directly.
Site is back up after some downtime following a primitive hack using SQL injection. Dovoto was somewhere under the sea while the hack happened, so it took a while until we were able to contact him. We decided to switch to Wordpress MU instead of the previous custom solution. It should be more secure and much easier to maintain & update. Thank you for your patience!
