Cross-Dressing Klingons

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

The Ulm has decreed that we start posting Appy Newz covers reflecting our more … personal … interests. And so, submitted without attribution … Yes, there’s no limit to the personal disorders you can accommodate with Appy Newz! This image and several others are now hosted in our Appy Newz Flickr Cover Gallery. Send us [...]

Craving

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

There’s a nice bit of coverage for Appy over at App Craver this morning … pop on over there and watch us make fools of ourselves. And by “us,” I mean, “me.” Back here at the Secret Worldwide Headquarters, we’ve already pushed out the first update to Appy Newz. It should be available on the [...]

The Three Faces of Appy Newz

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

By now you’ve doubtless had a chance to noodle around with Appy Newz (and if you haven’t bought it yet — go get it now!). Maybe you’ve made a couple covers, and showed them to friends over dinner.

Wow! It’s been a crazy 24 hours here at Appy Entertainment.

Appy Swag!

Still awaiting word on the fate of our first App … but the wheels grind on here at Appy Entertainment’s Secret Worldwide Headquarters. Today we evaluated some Appy swag! We’re going to start off with developer shirts for the team here, as a means of commemorating our first App, but we’ll be offering swag to [...]

(Re)submission Transmission

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

D’oh! Received word this morning that we violated one of Apple’s rules relating to content and thus failed submission with our first iPhone App. WHAT forbidden content will you now never see? WHAT senses-shattering secret must remain unrevealed to the ravening masses of the Appy Army??? (TV Land doesn’t show Batman any more, but they [...]

A Monumental Gesture!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

We had a surprise visitor at Appy Entertainment’s Secret Worldwide Headquarters on Monday … freelance sculpter Leo Romero of Sculptdude Productions appeared out of the blue to give us an amazing gift — a hand-sculpted rendition of Appy him (it?) self! One of the things we most admired about Leo’s design is how he found [...]
