Truthfully, I’m not really sure why it has taken this long to really make All-In what I want it to be. The vision has always been to be the top Windows Mobile Poker game available. And on a lot of fronts it is, was, and always has been since its release in 2004. But Ive had a lot of ideas brewing for a long time to take it to the next level. And now seeing the WM Marketplace in sight, what a perfect time to start getting there.

As you can see we’ve been working on a new skin and some new technology(the advanced list view). It will be used extensively throughout the program and will eliminate an embarassingly large amount of the current code and make everything more streamlined and clean. And it also has the added bonus of allowing the addition of new features and choices extremely quickly. And the new skin brings a new logo and icons. Good bye to my friend Smiley (the red haired guy on the cards). Ive seen our main competition negotiate deals to get on new devices. Yes, they have some ins, but they also have a product that while not playing as good or as much poker, it has some stripped down and attractive versions and yet with no strong branding. I took a hard look at All-In and decided that its unique style needed an overhaul to look cooler (and sadly a little more generic) in order for it to get the same considerations. And now with the new framework, it will be easy to make stripped down versions if that is what is needed. Sometimes simpler is better. Though we wont be switching to a Limit is different than No-Limit version system anytime soon.

So what else is going into All-In 3.0. Well, I cant tell you everything. I can tell you that this ‘List View’ morphs nicely for use in things like the career screen, thus allowing us to clean that up and obviously add some things! And some other areas are getting touch-ups too. Oh, and what is that other HUGE feature we are adding… ?!?!

You’ll have to wait..
