Secret Exit is an independent game development company founded in 2006 by Jani Kahrama and Jetro Lauha, two guys with modest game industry experience and some merits. They started the studio to create refreshingly different, innovative and – most importantly – fun games. In this aim they definitely succeeded, releasing Zen Bound one of my favorite iPhone games. Their quest for independence, very similar to ours, has pushed them to share their experience in this slide show entitled Secret Exit – Indie Startup For Dummies.

KARTR Creative Brigade has joined the iVoltage team to fashion SideFlip’s final look. KARTR’s graphic minimalism and taste for  black and white amplifies SideFlip’s zen vibe. Screen Shots are out here and to see other iVoltage/KARTR collaborations check out the new Digilab website.

iVoltage has returned to Brittany to complete the prototype of Sparks. This interactive tool for designers now supports dynamic texture swapping. Our trio also snuck off to visit Mt. St. Michel!

Why stay trapped in grey-Paris? iVoltage’s core development team took a road trip to Bretagne (France’s happening west coast) for some ocean side level designing, sun, surf and cidre drinking. Awesome house, maybe even our new secret lair for cutting edge new projects, like Touchstar.

The Sparks project, a revolutionary tool for rapid game design, is pushed to QA with its first demos to designers and game developers in Paris. Sparks will be the framework for all future iVoltage productions. This tool will change everything, wish I could say more.

The iVoltage team is closing in on the final stretch for the anticipated release of SideFlip. New design, trippy chilled out music, and user generated puzzles thanks to an in-game editor get me excited! You should be too, the first beta is expected for release in mid April.
