Sea Shepherd crew playing Minke Rescue
Here’s some images of the crew of the Steve Irwin – Sea Shepherds main vessel – playing Minke Rescue. Just back from months of disrupting whalers as part of Operation Divine Wind, the crew were eager to hear about and play Minke Rescue. Not only did I get the joy of watching people on the front-line playing my little game (see images below)… but also got a great and informative tour of the ship to boot. Thanks to James, Kelly, Eleanor, Eva, Arthur and the rest of the Steve Irwin crew.

An ‘ah ha’ moment occurred and my direction was set – to create a cool little iPhone game that benefited Sea Shepherd. The key ingredients were that the game had to be fun, and addictive. continue reading »
