Right now we are finishing our plans for 2015 and we all are very excited about them because we will start working on a huge project alongside some other smaller projects soon. So make sure to check by often to see all the exciting news for 2015 soon. We can’t wait to tell you about it 🙂
Now back to work, finishing some details and off to a great time with our families. BTW: If you haven’t noticed, we released some updates for some of our games last week. 😉
Merry Christmas!
Chocolate Cookies Recipe a la McPeppergames
While preparing for Christmas we started to make some cookies and because we don’t want to keep all the sweet stuff to ourselves we want to share our special Chocolate Cookies recipe a la McPeppergames.
Regarding the chocolate for the cookies you can use your favorite dark, brown or white chocolate… just the way you like it.
Here are the ingredients for the cookies you can see above:
250g Flour
1/2 teaspoon Natron
1/2 teaspoon Salt
160g Butter
200g Brown Sugar
80g White Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence (from fresh Vanilla)
1 pack of Vanilla Sugar
2 Eggs
300g Chocolate (your favorite one!)
And here are the directions to get cookies like the one you can see in the image:
1. Heat your oven to 170° Celsius (about 338° Fahrenheit).
2. Sieve the flour, Natron and the salt into a big bowl.
3. Melt the butter.
4. Break your favorite 300g chocolate into small pieces (smaller than 1cm)
4. Mix the butter with the brown and white sugar.
5. Now whisk the teaspoon Vanilla Essence, the pack of Vanilla sugar and the 2 eggs into the butter-sugar mix.
6. Add the mix to the bowl (with the flour, natron and salt) and then mix it again until it gets creamy.
7. At last add the chocolate crumbs to the dough and mix it a little bit.
8. Now take a table spoon and put droppings onto a cookie sheet. Make sure the cookie droppings have enough space to each other (min. 5cm) and don’t flatten the droppings.
9. Bake them for about 15 minutes.
10. Cool them and put them into the box.
11. Eat! 🙂
Adventure Games – New Project Started
Today we are very excited to post our first information about a new project. The mailman delivered a phone book sized book named “The Guide To Classic Graphic Adventures” which is part of our research we are doing for this top secret project we just started working on. We are doing this project on the side because it is really huge and will take a lot of time to finish.
The book is great by the way. Reading about all the classic adventure games helps us a lot in reliving this area where text-adventures and graphic adventures were a phenomenon. We grew up playing classics like Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island and somehow there was something to this games which can’t be described. But exactly this kind of feeling is the one we want to capture with our new game. I can’t tell you a lot about our secret project yet but I can tell you it’s not a classic graphic adventure 🙂 but it’s something heavily inspired by classic adventures. We have finished a first prototype for iOS and things look like this game will be a lot of fun. We still have to figure out some technical stuff but starting in January 2015 we will keep you updated on the project.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gameplay Of “My Little Car Wash”
If you want to see our new game “My Little Car Wash” in action before testing the LITE version or buying the Full Premium Version you can view a review video from Jane Jones or our Gameplay video which shows a lot of the laboratory and washing actions:
New LITE Version Hits The App Store!
Starting November 13 you can download a new LITE version of our top game “My Little Car Wash“. The game can be downloaded for free and is meant as a test-version. With this version you can let your kid wash two cars using all the main washing actions to see if it likes the game.
We decided to release a lite version of the premium game because we think it’s fair for parents to have a free playable version first, so they don’t have to “buy a cat in a bag”. Of course there are preview videos of the game now, but with a lite version of the game you can be 100% sure if your kid really likes the app before you get the full version.
So with this test-version of “My Little Car Wash” you get the first two cars for free and you have the option to unlock the full premium game with a lot more cars and the cool laboratory where your kid can mix it’s own washing foam for the washing actions.
Please note that your ratings and game reviews in the App Store will help us lot creating more content updates for the game. Have fun! 🙂
Save up to 50% With App Bundles!
You now have the option to purchase app bundles in the App Store. Apple has introduced bundles a view weeks ago and we think bundles are great because they allow us to reward our fans and faithful followers. When you purchase a bundle with some of our apps for kids you can save up to 50% (and more) compared to individual purchases. And the best part: If you already own an app and you download a bundle including the app you already have, you’ll receive the other apps in the bundle at the discounted price.
So, if you already are using some of our apps you should take a look at our bundles because there is a possibility you can get some premium apps very cheap or even for free. Click on the image or the link above to get to the App Store.
Happy Halloween!
We wish you all a Happy Halloween!
And because we are not the only ones who are starting a Halloween party tonight we want to show you some proof that our game characters are ready to party also.
To the left you can see the boy from our new game ‘My Little Car Wash‘ (which is available as a premium app exclusively in the App Store worldwide since a few days). When you look into the ‘info booth’ inside the game you can see him dressed up and ready to party. Be quick and take a look inside the game before Halloween is over and he will change back to his work outfit… 😉
