I'm back (with reserve)

Hi world, I spent the last days at home with a bad bad cold...
Even take the notebook and write few words was really hard and no xbox for days! But now I'm back and the good news is that the updated version of Coktail Paradise was approved (cool! I was in a bed with a flu and my fellows creators reviewed my game)
Thanks guys! I will return the favour asap!

Cocktail Paradise update on the go

The update is actually in peer review phase, and it will fix some issues. The most important is a wrong conversion calculation CL -> FLOZ on some Xbox for some cocktails (really sorry).
I added also two new features: a slideshow, good to use an a cool screensaver during your parties, and a random pick, usefull when you want to try something new but you can't decide.

The update will be out soon but I can't say when, so check frequently the community games list, and see if there's the new version out.

a few words about Cocktail Paradise

What's Cocktail Paradise?
Cocktail Paradise is a lifestyle app available on Xbox360 (community games section).
It is a database of 100 cocktails with pictures of every single cocktail and complete instructions. The cool thing is that you can search your cocktail in a lot of differet ways: in a alphabetical order, by type and by ingredient, choosing one or more ingredient (more than 120).
Do you like cocktails containing orange juice or vodka? Select both the indredients and start mixing your cocktail.

Approved!

It is official, now I'm a Xbox developer. My first game (a lifestyle app to be honest) is live now.
If you have an xbox and a live account download it here

(let me know if you like it and DON'T tell me if you don't like it... :D )
