After a bit of an arduous birth Space Giraffe for the PC is all done and out in the wild 
Why am I writing about it here? I am sort of tangentially involved. I’ve always been a big fan of Jeff’s work and helped him get the deal with MS for doing the X360 visualizer and Space Giraffe’s release on XBLA.
I helped a little on the PC version though oddly it was more my rusty coding skills than biz ones that were called on. It’s been a nice learning experience. I got understand the whacky world of PC graphics and do quite a lot of optimisation work, a few changes managed to speed the game up considerably. Space Giraffe now runs really well on lowish level hardware. You can get a good game out of it on Radeon 9600, a six year old card I also got to learn a lot about rails and built an ecommerce site to sell the game and a very basic CRM allowing others to update the LS web site. Nice to do a bit of spare time dev and see the results out in the wild 
Anyway it’s taken a while but he guys have now finished the game. You find out all about it, download a demo or even buy the game here:

It’s $20 which seems to be the standard price for indy games right now and offers a complete graphical overhaul for the game’s 100 levels as well as containing the original look of the X360 version. I’m a massive fan of the game but then again I would be wouldn’t I?
