Peter Molyneux, creator of several famous games like Populous, Black & White, Fable Theme Park or left the studio to go 22Cans Lionhead. His first project was codenamed "The Cube" and until recently hardly knew anything about him.

Now we know that this is an experiment with the name "Curiosity", in which we would get a big cube formed by many small cubes. The goal will be to discover what lies inside the large cube.

To do this we will have no need to go playing cubes to make them disappear. The issue is that it is a cooperative game, in which everyone who plays take sides, but only one can be the one to remove the last cube and can see inside the largest.

No doubt it is a curious "game" not yet know all the details, such as that incentive will go playing small cubes, but not long to find out, as the release date is confirmed: 7 November.

Of course curiosity may with us, so when we unload the new project to investigate the Molyneux genius.

Tim Cook Apple style

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple after the founding of NeXT, the Apple company was at its worst. Thanks to the good work and the creative genius of Jobs, among other things, the company became the world's most successful in a decade.

One of his greatest achievements was the clearly defined product lines, separating the computing professional staff, both in the field of desktop and the laptop. Right now, everyone is clear what Apple offers, and know what product can meet every need.

However, the latest moves by the apple company suggest that everything is going to be remixed again, with products that do not have an audience too defined. Recent personnel changes among heavyweights Apple, and the launch of some intermediates, suggest that this is part of the philosophy of Tim Cook.

Thus, the scheme would still simpler, though less defined. On the one hand we have the iPhone and iPad , and on the other the MacBook and the Mac As mentioned, the border between the departments are disappearing little by little, and let us see how they appear intermediates, as shown by recent changes Mountain Lion OSX.

Besides these technical departments, Apple still has what are called cross teams: Phil Schiller is responsible for the products, Peter Oppenheimer to manage accounts, hardware Dan Riccio and Jeff Williams of strategic operations. Bruce Sewell will lead the legal team, and Tim Cook is as the head of them all.

Will the new Apple able to improve over the past decade?

The value of purchases in-app / In-App Purchases

punc quest El valor de las Compras in app / In app Purchases

Punch Quest is the latest title game developer Rocketcat. This developer gives the game completely free and is experimenting to get income with the option of in-app-purchase, ie the in-game purchase.

Are you spending money on people in-app purchases

On The Verge speak of the game and what his experiment failed. Apparently the game already has over 600,000 downloads but have barely managed to overcome a five-figure income and counted as revenues plummet application around a week after its launch. This means that during the first days the expectation is great and people spend money but as time passes it falls into oblivion and this in the best case.

This game has been designed from the first minute with the intention of generating revenue through in-app-purchase, so it seems that if you are not giving the expected result is that something is wrong. The hard part is figuring out what.

Graham Spencer once wrote that people are more likely to pay for new options or "tangible". That is, people prefer to pay by increasing the number of levels or add new game modes, rather than pay to get a new skill, a weapon or just virtual money to buy these things in games. If purchased new levels or game modes, people have a reason to return to the game, while the other is nothing new, there is nothing going for it and people are not willing to pay for it.

Meanwhile, Loren Bricther of Letterpress believes that the application is not successful due to lack of optimazación in-app-purchase. He says that the distribution of the application for free is an illusion to attract more downloads, but these people are not really willing to pay.

punch quest in app El valor de las Compras in app / In app Purchases

In short, people want to feel like you are buying something when you make a purchase in-app-purchase and not feel you're wasting money. Developers should think about it.

We could make an example application iThoughts HD. The app sells for $ 9.99 and it can be expanded through purchases in-app-purchase. What their developers is to offer the owner of a license, the ability to buy new functional before officially arriving to the application. That is, the functionality will come as an upgrade to all who have the application, but if the customer wants to have it before you can pay for it and not have to wait until the official release of the update.

Having succeeded in creating an application based on in-app-purchase is very difficult. You have to offer something that people are willing to pay for it and, perhaps most importantly, something that people will pay periodically, otherwise there will come a time when revenues plummet and have to "close the stall "for lack of benefits or at least income.

Rovio released a new trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars R2D2 and C3P2 with protagonists



Rovio has released a new trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars (using the pull media from the space saga with the purchase of Lucasarts by Sony), in which we show two new characters.

If we could see the first powers of Luke and Leia , now it's the turn of the most famous pair of robots: R2D2 and C3P2.

C3P2 will have the "power" of disassembled and exploit lots of pieces that will destroy everything they touch. R2D2 in turn, will support the group electrocuting all nearby enemies.

It is less to be able to enjoy the game, but certainly before November 8 discovered some new characters with their corresponding power.
