Apple have approved Play 13's iPhone developer application.

We've acquired a new name, Play 13, and have started the process of removing references to Bulb Games. The number 13 was agreed upon because the founders' lucky numbers are 1 and 3, and this sequence ties in with various good fortune coincidences. The number 13 will influence many of our games from now on, see if you can spot the 13s!

We've welcomed a new artist join us in the creation of our first game. We're delighted to have him on board as he is a seasoned artist who has worked for big name games developers and publishers.

After pausing over the New Year due to focusing our attentions on other projects, development is again progressing well. We've recently been cranking out lots of production art for the project. The code side is virtually complete for now.

We're also refining the gameplay, creating more interest and adding as much fun content as we can cram into mobile phones!

How has your summer been? Rather gloomy? Well as the Summer has been practically non existent (at least in Britain!), we at play 13 have been busying ourselves with our first game, which we hope to have little taster for you soon!

We're primarily using J2ME (Java for phones). A lot of calories have been burnt rotating the cogs in our brains to bring you a game idea that hasn't been seen before. Throwing in a combination of guys, girls and hearts, it will defiantly get you thinking!

When we first thought about the game, we sat for two days brainstorming and gathering information from the internet, books and of course, most importantly, from our own personal experiences. Development of the core game is nearly complete apart from a few minor adjustments - a bit of tinkering here and there - quite frankly we can't wait to share it with you!
