Pretty Good MahJongg wins SIA!

Our game took home a Shareware Industry Award from SIC 2007.

Pretty Good MahJongg was named the 'Best Non-Action Game' by members of the shareware industry. The Shareware Industry Award was presented at the Software Industry Conference in Denver. This was the first such recognition for Pretty Good MahJongg.


Shareware Industry Award 2007 Winner


I was in attendance at the awards banquet and accepted the award on behalf of Goodsol Development and Thomas Warfield, the producer. In addition to Thomas and myself (programmer/designer), others involved in the development and support of the program are Rick Tumanis, lead artist, Tom Sloper, consulting expert, Anne Warfield, customer support, and Martha Seward (Freelance Works), marketing assistance. I thanked them all, as well as the SIAF (Shareware Industry Awards Foundation), the ASP (Association of Shareware Professionals), and my family.

For more information about the latest version of our game, see Pretty Good MahJongg 2.32.

I picked up a book on Micro-ISV the other day and it mentions Thomas Warfield, very cool!

It is awesome that your team won the award too! Very well deserved.

and we'll talk later on about the annonymous comment in another blog post of yours... :D

I presume (for the benefit of other readers) that you are talking about Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality, by Bob Walsh.

Thank you very much. (We are nominated for another award, and I will post about that one soon.)
