I'd hoped to write up a nice post for this, but unfortunately I haven't had much time lately. Releasing a game, it turns out, is not at all relaxing. Work doesn't end when you hit that submit button to Apple.

I've been quiet for a very long time now, and this is why. We've just shipped our new game, Slug Bugs!
