Skedaddle has launched for Android!

Now that Adobe and Android have teamed up to allow AIR apps on Android, creating apps and games for Driod devices is easier than ever!

When I saw that there were not one, not two, but three different Flash for Mobile contests I decided it was time to build a word game. The idea is simple, you play as Stan, a slightly out-of-shape guy being chased by monsters.

The only way to keep Stan running is to create words. It's a simple game to pick up and has a lot of possibilities for expansion. I worked with Bamboo Raven on this project and was impressed with the speed and quality of their artwork.

Now that the game is entered in all three contests I thought it would be a great opportunity to post it here for people to play.

Tonight I attended, and presented, at the September GameCamp Edmonton gathering. This was only my second time attending and it seems to be growing. There was a great turn out tonight. There was a lot of great energy in the room, which was good considering how cold and rainy it was outside.

It's an election year in Edmonton. Every election I head out and vote for the people who I feel will do the best job promoting my interests. Usually I vote based on who has the best environmental policies, stance on business funding, or whatever else is at the top of my mind when it comes to local and global issues.

But what if, hypothetically speaking, I was going to sit down and have supper with one of the mayoral candidates and talk about the tech scene in Edmonton... What if I wanted to know what the City of Edmonton can do for the game development scene in Edmonton?
