Firefoxzilla is back!

Robert — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:15:23 +0000

I’ve created another pixel-art illustration with Firefoxzilla (huge Fire-fox like mechanical droid that helps people) for challenge on Mozilla’s Creative Collective. It got to the top finals and scored quite a huge number of votes.
Let’s hope Firefoxzilla will keep coming back:)

Have fun with DoodleBlast!

Robert — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:30:14 +0000

We have created yet another great game. It’s called Doodle Blast and it’s a puzzle game where physics plays a major role. You need to draw lines in order to guide falling marbles so they will fill the jar. The game has got a nice, sketchy feel.

The DoodleBlast primary licence was bought by i6.com gaming portal. The game also entered Dare with Bamboo and won 2nd place at the competition. DoodleBlast should be lanuched on Bamboo Dock platform pretty soon.

CS5 in 5 App Contest (and BlackMoon gets to the podium again)

Robert — Thu, 20 May 2010 13:18:23 +0000

During the CS5 launch event in Warsaw (that was last Tuesday) there was a desing-coding contest “CS5 in 5“. The aim of the contest was to create a Air/Flash based app within 5 hours. The app main theme should have been “Birthday reminder”. I very happy to tell you that BlackMoon team (consiting of Mike as a programmer and myself as a designer) scored 3rd place in this contest.
We’ve created a “Urodzinofacebookoprzypominator” app, which connects to Facebook and reminds you if there’s anybody birthday on this given date (it can also run in the back and just show the notifications). The messages are pretty nice visually – we’ve created a set of custom numbers to depict the age. Stay tuned – we should upload the app for you to review soon.
Anyway – it was really a great event!

Here’s how our little app looks like

Drivers start your engines! Designing and coding the widget in just 5 hours needed some haste

3 months after the redesign

Robert — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:19:03 +0000

It has been three months since we’ve launched our new site – I guess that’s long enough to have some thoughts of how good we did it. BlackMoon site got some very nice recognition from major css galleries (like cssmania.com or csselite.com) and we also get a “website of the day” award from thecssawards.com.
We also got featured on some blogs – just to mention toxel.com.
Thanks for all your emails, tweets and other signs that you like our site – we really appreciate that.

There was a contest on Adobe’s evangelist Serge Jaspers’s site. The task was to show yourself as “on the beach” with Flash/Flex/AIR theme. Main prize was a full conference pass ticket to Flash on the Beach conference in Brighton.
Well – to give it in short way – Robert won that ;).

Here’s his winning work
