Hello Gamers,
I wanted to take a moment to explain where
Slide It! came from and why we're so excited about it. We're newcomers in the gaming industry so we feel it is important to let you all know a little more about
Dijital Interactive and
Dijital Media, Inc.
Dijital Interactive is a division of
Dijital Media, Inc. that focuses on the development of games and applications. While
Slide It! is the first official product released under the
Dijital Interactive name, it is not the first application we've created for
Dijital Media. Prior to beginning the
Slide It! project, the team that is now
Dijital Interactive was busy developing various web applications to meet client needs. After becoming an approved iPhone Developer,
Dijital Media decided to create
Dijital Interactive because the potential applications (and games) we planned on developing required its own set of resources.
So how did we decide to create
Slide It!? The answer is in an epiphany that struck during a poker game.
Dijital Media knew that we wanted to create a media-rich application on the iPhone that takes advantage of its unique features. That, coupled with our educational background in game design, led us to brainstorm game concepts. We had many, but none of those ideas were either unique enough or interesting enough to justify development. It wasn't until I started drifting off during a poker game that the idea for
Slide It! was born. As I was sitting there playing with my poker chips, I realized that there was a potential game in the way I was pushing the chips around with my finger... which instantly triggered a vision of what that game would look like on the iPhone.
Slide It! is the result of taking that moment of inspiration and running with it.
After months of refining game rules, input schemes, visual feedback, and audio,
Slide It! became a reality. We are proud of our foray into the mobile gaming industry and hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
