How free-to-play binds the hands of devs who want to help

Video game website Polygon asked Fireproof's Commercial Director Barry Meade to write an 'opinion piece' on our experience making games on mobile platforms and why we decided to sell our games at a fixed 'premium' price rather than following a free-to-play or in-app-purchase model.

Barry's piece has caused a few ripples throughout the industry, and is well worth a read if you have an interest in the current state of mobile gaming and its possible future. You can read it by clicking here.

Now The Room Two has been released on iOS, Android & Amazon Kindle HD we thought you'd enjoy looking at some behind-the-scenes images from when we made The Room Two.

There might be some surprising facts in there, such at The Room was developed by only 4 people over 8 months, or that we got through an impressive amount of beer and biscuits while toiling away on The Room Two! Anyway, if you're wondering exactly how many copies of our games we've sold then look no further. Click here view the infographic in all its glory!
