We are having a few email issues since moving to a new host. While we work on those issues we have taken both the Particle Designer and Glyph Designer websites down to prevent purchases from occurring and no licenses being emailed out. As soon as the problem is fixed both sites will be back up and running.
UPDATE 18/08/11: Both PD and GD sites are back up with the email problem fixed. Let us know if you have any problems.

The server switch I mentioned in the previous blog post has now been completed but there are a couple of small issues John is chasing down at the moment. One of them is that emails being sent from Particle Designer or Glyph Designer have an incorrect email shown as to who the email is from. The email address is a web site John runs and not the normal purchases@71squared.com.
If you have any problems then drop an email to support@71squared.com otherwise you should simply get your purchase email as normal, just with the wrong from address.
If you DON’T get your purchase email within a few minutes of purchase then check your spam folder as they can get caught up by spam filters.

We are currently in the middle of switching servers. The DNS on the domain name is currently changing, so you may be sent to different servers while this propagates.
John is currently working on moving 71Squared to a new host. This will significantly improve the speed of the site and give us more flexibility and control as well. We are aiming for this to be done with little to no disruption to the website, but as with everything like this gremlins can creep in when you least expect it.

I am a coffee lover. I spend a great deal of time in my local coffee shop working. I like the coffee and the atmosphere and it gets me out of my home office when I can’t stand looking at the same walls anymore.

It’s been a while since I released Tutorial 14 and I’ve had some very nice as well as some not so nice requests to keep them coming and to know when tutorial 15 will be released. For this reason I wanted to post about where I am with tutorials and my current plans for the future.

We have this evening released Glyph Designer 1.4.2. This release addresses an issue when running Glyph Designer on OS X 10.7 Lion that caused Glyph Designer to crash during startup. Applying this update will fix the issue and allow you to work with Glyph Designer in Lion uninterrupted :o)
Mike
As you will know OS X Lion is soon to be with us and we have therefore been testing both Particle Designer and Glyph Designer on the GM version to make sure things are working OK.

I’ve been sent details of some new readers games that I’d like to share. If you have sent me your game and not seen it mentioned yet drop me another note and I’ll add it to the list. With moving machines and a recent crash I’ve lost some emails so can’t be sure I’ve included everyones.
All of the games listed have been built using the 71Squared game engine that is described through our tutorials and the “Learning iOS Game Programming” book.
