Title: Wizards of the Coast bought iMtG!
Post by: Piotr on April 01, 2012, 06:09:54 PM
Good news! I've sold 70% of chattyhome.com, the company which owns the rights to iMtG, to WotC. I signed a contract which require me to stay with the company for a minimum of 2 years, as the head of the mobile app development team. That puts me in charge of the 'official' app, and I will obviously pull the plug on that failed project. Victory!

This is going to be awesome though! Piotr head honcho of none other than the people he was in a competition with. Not only that but he now has tons of resources at his disposal.

Right, it's past midnight in the UK now.

Why would I want to work for a big corporation if I just quit one to work for myself, mostly on iMtG? I'm not giving iMtG to them, they would kill half of it in an instant (all trading-related stuff for starters).

You know, The State was a good album, Silver Side Up had one or two decent songs. But ever since they left for the US, I've been ashamed to call them fellow Albertains. 😓

If by "you guys" you mean Canada, then yes.  They are from Quebec, though.  Not AB.

One of my favs is Rural Alberta Advantage.  Look up their song "Tornado '87".  Love it.

Agreed. For deck building, database and all that type, the style it is now is perfect. Simple, easy, and no unneeded stylized bs. That being said, life counter, that already functions, a little style like the pic, very nice!

I like it, except the poison symbol, it looks strange to me. But a change in style great like that wouldn't require the whole app to be in similar style?

Title: Re: Wizards of the Coast bought iMtG!
Post by: Mentonin on May 31, 2012, 10:27:47 PM
I'd like to see style versions. Something like themes you could use to your iMTG. Like the classic theme, mtg cards theme maybe, steam punk theme, cyber theme, or something like that. But as always, appearance is the least important
