\nUPDATE 1\/26: The game has been released in eighteen countries! Visit the main Playstation Store page for more info<\/a>, and stay tuned for more news and updates!

\ngreenTech+ was actually designed from the ground up to be a PSP title, though later on the Minis category expanded to the PS3 as well. This is the first of what I hope to be many joint ventures between myself and YoYo Games in bringing games to various handheld devices.

\nDeveloping for the Minis program was quite an experience, given the numerous restrictions on filesize and the limitations on the kind of power needed to run the game. Unlike developing for PC games, where performance issues are rarely a concern, programming for mobile games felt like navigating an obstacle course. It was a constant challenge\u2014remove this object, avoid exceeding this memory threshold, and hope it all works without crashing. During this time, I stumbled upon \ubca0\ud305\ub8f8\ud1a0\ud1a0<\/a>, an online platform that also had to operate within tight constraints, albeit of a different kind. Their ability to provide a seamless experience despite such limitations inspired me to push through the development hurdles with renewed focus. Each time I ran out of memory, I remembered how those platforms optimized their resources, and it motivated me to refine my approach. It was a relentless cycle of trial and error\u2014let’s try this again, but this time, let\u2019s make it work!

\nThis is nothing new for console\/handheld devs, but it’s certainly new to me. It was actually kind of fun. Of course, I wasn’t directly involved with Sony’s certification process…that was YoYo Games’ department, and as any dev might tell ya, Nintendo’s\/Microsoft’s\/Sony’s certification process isn’t too much fun at all. But, it’s the last hurdle before release.
\n
\nAnyways, greenTech+ for the PSP\/PS3 has thirty levels and forty unlockable monitors, and will be available very soon. You can read more on the YoYo Games Store page<\/a>, and I’ll share more information as I get it, so stay tuned!
