Moving to huelsbeck.com

Hi everyone, I finally implemented my website and blog into a Wordpress powered site and will probably stop posting here. All my previous posts and your comments are already imported into huelsbeck.com and I would also like you to join my site and keep commenting. This move brings very exciting options like automatic translation into other languages and more... stay tuned! :)

ZombieSmash! is now a smash hit! :)

As of yesterday, ZombieSmash! is the number one paid app in the US and a lot of other countries! Congratulations to the Game Doctors and big thanks to all the fans who made it possible! This success will ensure further development and free updates (with new music too) for the game and pave the way for more projects of this kind in the future. I am also very happy to be part of this team. :)

ZombieSmash released and reviews

I am proud to announce that ZombieSmash! has been released for iPhone/iPod Touch in the Appstore! Also, there are numerous reviews showing up all over the web, including this one on a site called appadvice, which praises the music and sound: "The included soundtrack is deluxe to say the least which mixes a horror theme with a little action to get you in the mood to do the zombie smash. Then there are the various zombie groans, and of course the bone cracking of each smashed zombie that sounds oh so painful." Rating 5/5 :)

ZombieSmash! Trailer and Previews :)

They are almost here... ZombieSmash! for the iPhone/iPod Touch will be released soon. There are previews on various game news sites and a trailer video on youtube featuring a new music track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1eF0awSI_s

Giana Sisters Co-Creator Armin Gessert passed away :(

Armin was a veteran of the games industry and my collegue and friend back in the day at Rainbow Arts, the first serious game developer in Germany. We worked on several titles together and one of them was the very well known Giana Sisters game. We became friends during that time and he was always a fun guy to hang around (he also loved the Pet Shop Boys, despite being more of a 70s Rock Dude). After Rainbow Arts we lost contact for many years and I just reconnected a few years back with a bunch of phone calls. We had planned to get together and I also invited him to my concert, but unfortunately he couldn't make it, so I never shook hands with him again since Rainbow Arts. Armin was only 46 years old and leaves a family with children and a 40+ members company behind. My thoughts are with them and his friends. From the coverage on the internet you can see what an impact he had on the industry and the fans. He will be sorely missed...
