Check out the Fall #15 issue of UPPERCASE magazine. You may recognize some friendly faces in the Snippets section; our own Sean Monahan and office pup, the Shiba Inu Mochi! Pixels crafted by Capybara's Vic Nguyen.
Most of our clients and friends know us as a client services company. We also spend a great deal of our time creating products for ourselves for various mobile markets including the Apple App Store and the Google Play store. This summer we started work on our first independent game Shibashiba. In this runner, you take control of a family of Shiba Inu dogs, who—with the help of their Sensei—run, jump, slide, and dash & bash their way through forty challenging levels to save their homeland.
We just released the first alpha build of the game and people have been very excited so far! We're currently working on polish and level design and are planning to release the iOS version in the next 2-3 months. We'll be releasing the Android version shortly after. This has truly been a rewarding experiement in cross-platform native application design and development.
Check out the teaser site or follow T1Egames and Shibashibagame on Twitter for updates. Sign up and register a device on our TestFlightApp page if you want to be included in alpha and beta releases of the software. So far, our testers have had an awesome impact on the game.

We were honored this week to have a write-up Rangefinder Magazine in Danielle Currier's How-to Article on Optimizing Your Online Portfolio. In the article, Typeoneerror's Ben Borowski talks about using responsive web design methods to create experiences that scale across multiple desktop and mobile platforms. Our website for photographer Noah Webb is highlighted in the "How-To" issue. You can check out the spread here on the Rangefinder website or download a PDF version from our own site here.
2011 certifiably rocked for Typeoneerror in terms of laying the groundwork for the growth of our small business, so I'm happy to welcome my good friend and game designer Sean Monahan to the Typeoneerror team for 2012. Sean started last week as T1E's first Senior Product Designer. He adds to our capabilities of product design for web and mobile significant Flex/Flash, PHP, and C# experience as well as game and product design badassery (not to mention his fine hand-crafted homebrew). His talent for immersing himself in and quickly adopting emerging technologies such as Node.js, Stage3D/Starling, Unity, XNA, et al make our technology offerings, to be frank, quite staggering.
I'm personally very excited by what we are going to be able to create and learn together. We will continue to develop and incubate amazing products for our clients as well as kicking off exciting new ventures on our own products and games. As a small business, we will provide beautifully designed products for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 platforms (among others) and continue to make great experiences for desktop and mobile web.
You can follow Sean on Twitter at @noobsarepeople2 and you should and feel free to stop in for a visit in our office in Ballard, Seattle any time. Here's to a new year!
Typeoneerror is growing and I am looking for a select group of creative individuals who will form our core product-development team over the next year and assist with various client projects on a daily basis. I am searching for unique talents with experience in the development and design of interactive applications and games on multiple platforms.
I typically work with small teams of independent contractors on our projects, but reached a point where having people in the office makes sense. That's where you come in, I hope!
At this time, I am looking to hire a developer in the junior- to mid-level range, as well as a (paid) intern. Candidates should have front-end development experience as well as some experience with programming languages.
A solid foundation in the basic web development technologies listed above are required for this position, and experience with PHP would be fantastic, but here's a list of some of the technologies I am currently working on that, if you had experience with, would certainly tip the scales in your favor:
Also required are positive attitudes and strong opinions about the web.
Candidates should feel free to submit a cover letter and resume (or relevant URL) with applicable work samples and salary requirements to hello@typeoneerror.com. Click the mailto links below to start:
Thanks for reading, and feel free to tweet about this if you'd like to help me out.
