When working through things that might make a game more compelling, you can just see such a range of options - it becomes hard to know how to prioritise. Everything costs time and money, and you can never be sure what the outcome is going to be once you have finished.
For example, currently, Save My Bacon (have you got your copy yet?) is a 5 min or less game for most people. Some people can break the 5 min barrier, but it isn't easy. I guess the question is then, do we need to add capability to allow the user to let the game go longer?
At what point does development stop?
For example, falling objects that slow the pig down, or something that doubles your force for every tap? Are these things that make a game better?
I'd be interested in what people think!!
The journey continues...

Social Media - the smart way (automation!)
There are heaps of social media outlets for people to follow, tweet, post or publish, with comments, votes, +'s and many, many other variations.
How can I, just me, keep up with all of this?
To be perfectly honest - I don't.
But, yet, somehow, I must.
Wouldn't it be great to automatically Tweet every time you posted a blog - even it if was scheduled for late in the night?
What if you could also post to Facebook?
...the list goes on!
Enter IFTTT - "if this then that" - what a GREAT tool. Free too, which is a surprise, it is something worth paying for.
So, the basic way it works is to allow you to set up "Recipes", or those more familiar with MS Outlook, "Rules". But there are no fancy scripts, nothing difficult at all. Just click on a bunch of buttons and you are done.
Trust me, this is as simple as it gets. The people who put this together have really done a very good job.
Why not go now and give it a go http://ifttt.com/

It is easier than you think and a great way to make the Internet work for you (for once!)
And so...the journey continues!
