; Busy Busy Busy!

Had a crazy busy week, this week. Coded a whole Picross game, and a complete overhaul of my Pixelart site.
People on the forum think I'm some kind of mega coding god, or something, but in reality the pixelart site is just showing a list of pictures, and the Picross game was simply a case of me making use of those exact same pictures.
It wasn't hard, and it wasn't that big, and I'm not that clever.
.. I even used Tables, 'cos I'm a lazy git!

Miiiiiiiiiii

Nintendo released their first ever proper Nintendo branded Nintendo game for iOS and Android, this week.
A simple rehash of Tomodachi Life, but stripped down to it's barest features, the game sees you simply answering questions and then seeing what responses your friends give to the same sorts of questions.
It's very barebones, and yet for some bizarre reason, I've spent the majority of this week playing the damn thing.
There's just something oddly compelling about discussing toast, putting on clothes, and taking silly photos.
If you have an iOS or Android device, then I highly recommend having a play with it.
It is free, after all.

It can't say "WiiU" though.

; MOT!

Old, broken, worn out and useless.
If I was sent for an MOT, I'd've been scrapped in 2012.

Hehe. #UX matters! #design RT @DesignUXUI: When you think your design works perfect but then you do user testing?
