Ron Alpert's Blog

I'm an independent developer (headcaseGames.com) since 2009, two titles released on iPhone and one on Android with much more to come!

I pride myself on having extensive practical knowledge of the history of electronic gaming, and over a decade of production experience as well (Activision, Sierra On-Line, 3DO, Rhythm & Hues, among others) texturemonkey.com


Originally from Boston, I have found much success since relocating to Los Angeles several years ago and look forward to working on more great projects (and with more great people!) in the future.

It sounds like the same problems a lot of markets have. As a developer, you have to concentrate on learning how to promote it yourself rather than adopting the sane attitude that so many people do - I'll make something cool, which by that virtue will find an audience. That ...
