The recent introduction of the iPhone SDK got me thinking about the future of Riven X. And I came to the conclusion there was no future for a slideshow on modern desktops. However, plenty of people will want some games on their iPhones, and Riven certainly would be great with that touch UI. So I’m officially announcing I’m stopping development of Riven X for Mac OS X and will be working exclusively for the iPhone. Expect daily builds in a month or so.

I hope you’re as excited as I am about this. When you solve that puzzle at 4 PM riding the bus home or being jammed in traffic, you won’t have to wait anymore! Just slide that unlock slider, punch the Riven icon and off you go on an adventure.

Blake has decided to move to Microsoft (http://yamacdev.blogspot.com/2008/04/resistance-is-futile.html). I understand his choice, after all C# has none of that square bracket non-sense. I just can’t understand how someone can tolerate Seattle after living in the bay area.
