    Oh cool. Must be cool to do cool stuff with your friends.
    They're not common but who knows?

    BTW the HD version looks so much better!

    Are there any diferences between the iPhone version and this beta for the table?

    You need to stalk me?
    Haha. Love the team page: http://illusionlabs.com/team.html

    Was it an earlier Illusion Labs requirement to have some sort of ANDERS in your name. Andreas you and Marcus have it some way.

    Carl is left out. Tell him to add Anders as a middle name.

    You guys are doing REALLY great!

    Yeah, every day is a blast.

    There are some minor differences. The input from the touch table is sent via a network cable for instance (the games are running on standard MacBook Pros), and we obviously zoomed out a bit ;) And also some other changes not so noteworthy ;)

    Ah no, it's basically the same. We just did it in a couple of days or so.

    I have two questions
    1) How much does one of those cost?
    2) Are you just zooming in the iPhone simulator on the MacBook Pro

    By the way this is awesome and if you sold that as a game machine you would make millions.

    1) I don't know really, sorry, but I'm pretty sure they are pretty expensive right now.
    2) The way we do our games is that we make them work on the devices (iPhone, iPod Touch), in the simulator and also as standard Mac programs. So in the video it is just the Mac versions of the iPhone games.

    Looking at it more closely; I could have sworn you can't go backwards and do a trick on the iPhone version.

    Well you can go both ways depending on where you keep your fingers.

    One finger (A) on one end and other (B) in the middle = forward
    A in the middle and B on the other end = backward (or should really be called goofy)

    Watch the tutorial videos in the game ;)

    Yeah I can move. I can't do tricks. Or jump. Or do anything but move.

    Umm do you release the fingers in the correct order? Front finger first, then back? If you ride goofy, it's the other way around.

    That's odd, it works just fine for me. Or maybe I'm not getting what you're saying hehe

    OK start the level. Instead of putting your fingers where you normally would; put them on the left (so you go backwards). Now try to jump or do anything. I cant.

    EDIT:

    NEVER MIND! It's inverted. Silly me
