Had a successful submission to ADC2. We decided to enter the challenge after Google IO '09 -though we could not attend. What we ended up with is an alpha-level software that gets across our concept & tests our technologies. We entered into the 'Lifestyle' category, as our 'game' is really an application of game mechanics to a non-game activity. We're tailoring the app to be for men and women, ages 15-25, and are planing on making the beta available on the Android Market this fall. We had a team of 4 people (two core) (only one programmer) to construct what we have now. What I learned personally from a production/management/content pipeline-funnel/etc.. perspective is that making games is hard. Making games involving real-time audio, motion analysis, and graphics is really hard! This is especially true on Android 1.5 where the media framework is (ehh..) doable for games, but the only platform that we can actually do it w/out starting from scratch. All in all, it was a rewarding experience, and one that I would do again if given the opportunity. I think Android has great potential, & I'm hoping that 2.0 brings a lot to resolve issues concerning media handling, and game programming. If so, I believe that we've got good times ahead.
