I'm losing my favourite game

[venta]

I don't post about work here much. But just for once...

I work for a company that's been building a cross-mobile (and indeed cross-device, should you wish to play games on an internet-enabled telly or a high-powered toaster) platform for casual games. And our game store is now up and running:

www.antixgames.com

This is what our marketing department is calling a "soft launch", which appears to mean largely un-publicised. We support only a couple of phones[*] at the moment, and don't have a large range of games. But if you're willing to install a plug-in, you can pop along and try the games out in your (Windows) web browser.

Those of you who've heard me on the topic of work recently will instantly identify the actual bits I've actually been involved with :)

[*] Number of phones our software runs on: big. Number of phones our software runs on which have been properly tested and exhaustively verified and can be considered market quality: small.

There are 6 types of Chess!

[SFX: stony silence]

Do you think I don't know this?

;)

Is brownbrother21 A?

*giggles quietly* I didn't know there WERE that many, let alone you had to suffer through them!

Yep, A.

There are more.

Please note I don't say how good any of them are.

Jeez...no wonder you hate them!

To be fair, I hated chess before I started. This experience merely hasn't helped :)

I think it's so that developer can sell mostly-the-same-game to you six times over ;)

Technically, it's so that a small, struggling start-up company can launch its store without looking like it's got bugger-all games ;)
