Introducing UpTap

Folks,

I've started a new company. It's called UpTap and we're working on games for tablets. Working on two right now, with some of the folks from ole Sandlot.

Figured you guys need to know. And I thank you for your wonderful support through the years.

Come to uptap.com and sign up to receive email/blog updates. I will be building more of a website soon but it's all hands on deck for game development.

I knew that after you were fired from Digital Chocolate you would begin a new company!

I'll stay tuned... though I'm not to eager about tablet games. Any chance of you returning to PC games?

OK, I understand the need of you to take advantage of the trend to make money, you're a company after all. But still, I really hope that you make at least one thing that will satisfy us, the older fans. I really don't want to see a new Cake Mania (if it gets released) as a tablet exclusive.

This is exciting news. Thanks for sharing Mr. Bernstein! I believe I speak for all of us here, when I say that we hope that UpTap will be as successful as Sandlot was. And I for one, look forward to playing whatever you guys produce.

Oh, and we are honored to have you here.

While I really hope UpTap receives the success they deserve, which is the same with Sandlot's, but unfortunately, I'm not a tablet user so I can't be excited enough for those news.

When I heard the Digital Chocolate news, I wished that you would form a new company to get back to PC gaming business. Well, half wish granted...

But still, great to see you here. I definitely didn't expect that.

Mr.B: I'll sign on for Up Tap if you have an insider's way to get my uninstalled SL games unlocked that you are willing to share.You can PM me if you would like.

About a month ago, a new tweet was made on Tweeter that said one game's development has just started. While I'm not part of the tablet market, I'm still interested in what the old people of Sandlot do. Are there any more news coming?

I got a surprise present of an Android device for Christmas, so it looks as though I may be interested in UpTap games after all!

Thanks for the update Kaotika .

Any further news to share yet, Madrussian?

Enjoy your Android device!

Daniel hasn't visited in here since he posted the thread. Weird...

I just got a Nexus 7, which is a wonderful gaming machine. I wish, o I wish, I wish, I could play my favorite Sandlot Games on it, but since they're now owned by Digital Chocolate (may they rot in H-E-double hockeysticks), I don't guess that will ever happen. Sob.

BTW, you all may enjoy Waking Mars, available on multiple platforms including PC, Ipad and Android. It's an exploration game and you don't have to kill anything, with an awesome story line and I think it's the best game I've played in years.

Very excited about UpTap - hope something is forthcoming soon.

Sandlot Games isn't owned by Digital Chocolate anymore; all were fired and now they've formed UpTap.

Digital Chocolate bought the company and fired the people. They own the games, AFAIK. If UpTap owned the games, I'm sure we would have heard that by now.

Well, you said "Sandlot Games", not "Sandlot's games", so I assumed you meant the company.

Guys, still here, still working. We now have 3 games in development, all launching 1st quarter of next year. Have a great (and safe) New Year's.

GLaD you're back to update us! Can't wait to see some more on what you've been working so far.

I'm excited to see what you have up your sleeves for us this time. I'm sure that whatever it is will be fantastic.

Taps watch, checks calendar.

Q1? Q2?

Their website seems updated with an upcoming game, called "Hello World".

It's actually Galactic Skater, coming out soon. Check out the video on our facebook page:

Very nice! I hope you have success with your first game. After so many great Sandlot games, you deserve it.

Though deep inside, I hope that you'll start developing for the PC again.

Guys, we're launching Galactic Skater on July 11th. That's next Thursday!

That looks really nice, although it's not the type of game I enjoy. (I prefer puzzle or trading/resource management type games like Tradewinds or Westward).

Still, hope this does well for you and there will be other kinds of games in the pipeline.

I hope the launch goes well and the game is successful. I don't have a tablet, so the game is unfortunately out of reach for me.
