Making 200 games for Windows 8 .. in 4 months

Dear readers,

As you may know, Sylien Games, our web and smartphone game company, is getting lots of wind in its sails recently, what with being approached by Microsoft itself to create LOADS of games for the brand new Windows 8 and Windows 8 Phone platforms. 

Its a really great opportunity.

We're also getting some interesting press on this from different sources, which is great. 

I thought I would write something about our progress in this project.  With the first game apps coming out on Windows 8 app store this or next week, I think it'll be interesting for readers to follow.

Below is an article that I wrote for Woot Studio, Microsoft's indie developer game blog site (Canada) where I describe the arrangement and some of the pitfalls discovered on the way.

I know those of you who are indie developers considering developing for Windows 8 and Windows 8 Phone should be paying attention and should subscribe to this blog.
