Greetings Earthlings.

It has come to my attention that I have not updated this blog in quite a while. This is an error that I wish to remedy immediately. Since my last post a lot of fun and exciting things have happened and I have learned a ton of new stuff that I will hopefully write about in the near future.

I would like to announce that Wezzle has been completed and is for sale on our website! It only took two years since Couchware’s inception, but it’s finally here and it looks great. I couldn’t be happier with the way Wezzle turned out. I think it looks outstanding and has some enjoyable and addicting game play.

I would like to give a huge thanks to those who assisted in the creation of the Wezzle. This includes Renee and Sam and all of our testers. If you like the art and music in the game be sure to check out Renee’s and Sam’s websites.

Despite having put the game up for sale, Wezzle is not yet 100% complete. We are still hard at work finishing up a Wezzle demo that will be playable within the browser. Once the demo has been completed, we will be marketing/launching the game to a larger audience (hopefully!). There will likely be a launch party at an as of yet undisclosed location in Toronto. For those interested in coming, fire me an email or check back at this blog occasionally. Cam has also been hard at work at a REALLY cool Wezzle port, the nature of which I can’t disclose at the moment. It will be hopefully laying the ground-work for some of our future projects.

In other news, I have been put in charge of a major project using Java EE 6 which I’m pretty excited about. Some of the technologies I have been using lately include: Maven2, Logback, JPA/Hibernate, JSF, EJB 3.1, and more. Hopefully in the coming weeks I will have something interesting to say about some of these.

Finally, I have bought kevingrad.com, org and net (all currently have no content) and I will eventually be moving this blog to one of those (probably .org).
