About the Author
Miguel DeQuadros is a Game Developer and founder of the independent development studio Wurd Industries, based in Ontario, Canada. He has been developing iPhone games since the release of the App Store back at the exciting release of iOS 2.0. Since then, working under Wurd Industries, he has had eight games and one entertainment app published world-wide on the App Store, with more to come. Originally interested in 3D animation and graphic design, Miguel focused mainly on this, but then got the game development ‘bug’ and has been developing iPhone Apps since 2008. This allows him to use his creativity and knowledge of 3D animation for cut scenes and videos within his apps, and he loves every minute of it. Starting from his first project ‘Toy Tennis’ back in 2008 (which, to this day, still remains a very popular app, thought it has been updated quite a bit with new graphics and social integration), down to his current project iMMUNE 3: The Final Stand, he continues to develop iPhone apps. He began expressing interest in GameSalad when it was first launched in March 2009, but never started using it until January of 2010, when he started to develop his third iOS game, iMMUNE 2: Rise of the Salmonella, a 2D platformer sequel to the iMMUNE series. To this day, he and Wurd Industries continue to be Professional Members of the GameSalad community and still use GameSalad for prototyping and developing games for the iOS devices, and are now branching out to Mac development.
