This week sees the launch of the strategic board game Retsami for iPad on the App Store.

We've developed the iPad version of Retsami in partnership with the owner of the board game and we are looking forward to seeing how the public fare at a game which shares a lot in common with popular classics like backgammon and draughts. The concept is fantastically simple; it's a race to the centre of the board with just four rules to obey, but the combination of strategy and skill required to win makes it an addictive and challenging game to play.

It's been a real hands-on development process that began by unpacking the physical version of the board game and learning the rules inside out, in order to work out how to program the AI for the game. Our dev team have played hundreds of games refining the digital version of Retsami - becoming masters of a game that is 'I Master' spelt backwards. The iPad version can be played in 2-player mode, against the computer or against other players online, and there's a tutorial mode to help you improve at the game before challenging our devs to a game!

We have just designed and built our first iPad app for the press launch of the eBay Fashion Outlet. It's a sweet little thing which allows people to browse all the latest inventory on the site. 

It's built and animated with open HTML5 as we think it's important to properly consider how we distribute and optimise content for all devices in the future. If you're interested in seeing our approach or just having a chat about the challenges of convergence get in touch.
