Apple Tech Talk iOS5 São Paulo
Just got back from Apple full day conference here in Brazil, was awesome, the only bad thing is you have to choose from 3 different rooms to watch the conferences. They were all running at same time, I picked the ones related to games so I was almost the time on room B watching Allan Schaffer – Apple Game Technologies Evangelist.
There was a good cover on Game Center Multiplayer features, turn based match and also on Open GL, Compositing Operations Image CI filters and Face Recognition, also watched Mark Kawano Apple’s Interface and User Experience Evangelist, and Eryk Vershen Apple Media Technologies Evangelist talking about game and Air Play.
During the conference I was able to talk to Mark Kawano on the LAB and showed him my games, he pointed me some directions to make them better, so I will be changing some interface design and also change the default controls of some games, tune up the physics and fix some screen transitions accordingly.
He also said the game had one of the best designs he have seen on iPhone. Was pretty great to have this feedback from Kawano, Apple Interface Evangelist, the guy who wrote the iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
