Trigger Happy Christmas Hits the AppStore
November 30th, 2009 by LeeWoohoo, Apple have just approved Trigger Happy Christmas. AS it was the first release for iPhone we’ve done on our own, I’m pretty glad it has all gone well. At only $0.99, you really should go and buy it; what better way to spend December than by getting Santa to flamethrower a bunch of elves to death.
Click here to go to the AppStore.
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, than have a goosey:
Trigger Happy Christmas – sending cards

Project Aftermath patch 1.21 released
November 16th, 2009 by LeeIn order to get Project Aftermath onto the D2D ‘Best of Indie’ bundle, I had to make a new build of the game. Unbeknown to me, between making the original version of 1.20 and this specific one, Microsoft had released a security update which changed the default version of the CRT runtimes that Visual Studio would link against. This essentially broke the installed version of PA if you didn’t happen to have this latest security update. Usually, I check every build on a completely fresh install of XP without the latest security fixes but I forgot to do that this time. I won’t be forgetting again 
Anyway, the fix I used was one detailed in this blog (http://tedwvc.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/avoiding-problems-with-vc2005-sp1-security-update-kb971090/) which seemed to me to be the easiest way of going about it.
The game launcher should recognise that there is a new version available and offer to download it for you. If that doesn;t work for some reason then =you can download it directly from this link: (PA_Patch_1.21.exe)

Announcing Trigger Happy Christmas
November 9th, 2009 by mal
We submitted Trigger Happy Christmas to Apple late Friday night.
All being well we could see THC live in the AppStore around the 21st of November! Follow us on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss out on the release
Whats it all about then?
The elves have gone bad, again, and are trying to ruin Christmas by stealing all the presents. They’ve hot-wired the sleigh, which is flying around uncontrollably, spilling its contents all over the place.
Santa is running hither and thither trying to gather them back up again but, quite frankly, he’s had his fill of the thieving blighters. Time to dust off “Olde Persuader”!
A little help from above
He’s not alone though. While trying furiously to bring the sleigh under control, Rudolph is also on hand to supply Santa with the a few more ‘persuasive’ tools. You know, like flame-throwers, grenade launchers… that type of thing!
Safe and sound
Santa has constructed a tool to help save the presents from the naughty Elves. The Tele-Present 2000. Once Santa has stacked 5 presents it’s activated, beaming the presents safely back to the workshop.
We can stop the Elves, Christmas will be saved!
