Swedish MacWorld.se reviews Tomten (Swedish only):
“Ditt uppdrag i spelet är att hjälpa jultomten att dela ut julklappar genom att slänga ner dem i husens skorstenar, något som är lättare sagt än gjort. Totalt innehåller spelet 27 olika mini-uppdrag av varierande svårighetsgrad. Med andra ord borde det hålla dig sysselsatt tills julen är slut.”

Swedroid.se have published a review of Tomten for Android (Swedish only):
“Tomten innehåller 27 olika uppdrag och 10 nivåer med varierande svårighetsgrad. Spelet fungerade utmärkt i vårt korta test på en HTC Sensation och det är alltid roligt att uppmärksamma svenskutvecklade titlar i Market.”
Eva Wieselgren at the local newspaper Göteborgs Posten was one of the beta testers of Tomten for iPhone. Follow the link below to read her comments on the game (Swedish only):
“Hinner jultomten få ut klapparna i tid? Inte om jag ska styra släden. Min tomte vinglar runt i luften som om han fått alldeles för mycket glögg till lussekatterna.”
After many months of hard work, Tomten for iPhone & Android is finally released!

Last week I held my first internal Unity 3D class at HiQ. In this first seminar I explained how to use Unity and the plugin EZ GUI together to create rich 2D applications.
You can view my video tutorial files below.
In this first video I will give you a walkthrough of the Unity environment: Scene view, game view, hierarchy view, project view, inspector, console, asset server, asset store, profiler, and more.
In this video I will show you how to add EZ GUI to your Unity project, and going from image, to texture, to material, to sprite atlas to draw an EZ GUI Button on the screen.
In this video I will show you how to work with EZ GUI Panels, and how to use the EZ GUI Panel Manager to toggle between panels using EZ GUI Change Panel Buttons.
In this video I will show you how to use multiple transitions on Panels, and how to properly add, copy and paste transitions to EZ GUI Buttons.
In this video I will show you how to draw text on the screen using EZ GUI Label.
You can use the following tools to create EZ GUI fonts:

From Depixelizing Pixel Art:
“Naïve upsampling of pixel art images leads to unsatisfactory results. Our algorithm extracts a smooth, resolution-independent vector representation from the image which is suitable for high-resolution display devices.”
