Appy CEO Chris Ulm is quoted in an article from Business News Daily about the impact of voice recognition technology on development.

Unfortunately, you still need to read Chris’ comments, rather than having them read to you … fortunately, they’re just a click away.

In case you missed the previews at Slide To Play, Touch Arcade, AppPicker, Fun Touch, Game Trailers, and Nine Over Ten.

We are crunching to complete SpellCraft School of Magic right now, and hope to have the game on the market by the middle of November!

Halloween is special to us here at Appy Entertainment, both because we love monsters, and because it’s our birthday! Yep, Appy Entertainment will turn three years old this Monday.

In celebration, and in association with our friends at AppAllStar, we’re offering our Halloween-themed puzzle game Zombie Pizza for FREE through Monday!

Appy Entertainment’s next game is SpellCraft School of Magic!

SpellCraft School of Magic is an original social/mobile role playing game where you become a student at a mysterious magic school, and investigate dungeons to find your missing teachers. The game is scheduled for release in November.

We will have LOTS move about SpellCraft in the days and weeks to come, but for now, head on over to Slide-To-Play for a Q&A that officially announces the game!

We told you last month that Steve Sargent would be speaking at GDC Austin, and with the conference going on right now, Sargie has made some news.

this cartoon looks NOTHING like Sarge, aside from the ears and the green skin

Sarge’s comments on porting FaceFighter to Android made news with The Appside, PocketGamer, Gaming Bus (complete with uninformed speculation!) and Develop, with Sarge’s statistics about the piracy rate on FaceFighter for Android versus our iOS version stealing the headline.

Sarge was quoted a second time in the closing session for his remarks about middleware.

Read up! It’s almost like being at the show with Sarge, except he isn’t able to put you in a bear hug and make you fear for your life.
