Our best product yet! LetGo already making impact!!

Can there be a mobile app which could change individual minds and make the world a better place ?

Well, if the answer is a Yes, it will have to be a step by step journey... a marathon not a sprint!  (although one will have to make certain specific laps a lot quicker!) We have taken the first step and it is nice to see the positive feedback we are already getting.

Here's our winning pitch at TWIST Colombo Meet Up. This Week in Start Up is a Live internet show run by famous host Jason Calacanis. We are thrilled about the way the show hosts (Jason, Tyler and Shamal)  has shared our enthusiasm and passion.

For more information on LetGo, see here.

If you have any specific feedback, input, criticisms for us, please feel free to post them here. All thoughts are welcome and we will answer all comment you have on LetGo.

We are excited and planning to launch with a big bang! pretty soon too!! stay tuned.......

BTW, those who like to join with us on this exciting venture, do write to us. We are hiring, graphic designers, Android developers and iOS developers. Let's change the world!

Back to Blogging with a vengeance ?

Well, not quite. I have an unfinished business to settle down first, so please bare with us. Apologies for failing to post anything for some time now...

However, we have not wasted time doing entirely nothing in last month or so. For one, we are doing not too badly at the Google AI competition .

Current ranking page is in here.

Secondly, our long promised online free gaming site is just around the corner! You can already have a glimpse at the Araaya web site. Official launch will happen really soon too!

Thirdly, we have done some porting of our games into Android platform lately and doing same for iPhone. For this we got 2 phones, an iPhone 4 and a Motorolla Atrix. We have been playing with these 2 great phones lately which are easily the best in their categories at present, that I thought it would be useful for few to write a review and a comparison on them.

My last post about a similar subject (about Toyota Prius) was welcomed by many and judging by comments have helped few people... so probably I should do that more. After all, how often do we bloggers get a chance to actually help someone, (except for helping readers to kill their time) :-)

So, that (on iphone and Android) would probably be our next post. Meanwhile, some of interesting games from the AI competition can be found in this link. I'm regularly update that page with game links. Stay tuned....

Welcome to Gaming Fun @ Araaya !

Welcome all!

We started this blog to share our experiance in game development (both technical and business) and related programming challenges with you all.

Hopefully this will grow into a forum where lot of useful discussions and arguments happen on game development, artificial intelligence and programming in general. If you have an interest in any one of those categories or if you are an eunterprenuar who is interested in following how a new gaming startup progresses and like to share our experiances, you all are most welcome. Let us have your valuable comments  and thoughts...

By the way, I almost forgot to mention about Araaya. We focus on developing games and utility applications for smart mobile devices like iPhone, iPad, Android etc.. Our sister company ITF is focusing on enterprise solutions, outsourcing and consultancies. More on ITF later.. for the time being, we have dedicated another blog for discussions on that front.

In addition to develop games for mobile devices, Araaya also planning to launch a website for online gaming where most of its titles will be avaialbe for people to test and play for free! Work on this is underway right now and our team is busy finishing up this work.. Hoping to meet you all there pretty soon and challenge you for a game!


Following are our team members who will also be sharing their developing experiances, trick & tricks and other programming adventures (and missed ones too!) with you on this blog.
