Michigan-Based Company Releases Educational Geography App - Published on 07/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pearl Crescent, LLC has released GeoZooom! 1.1, a free education geography app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. GeoZooom! combines maps with a warmer/colder feedback system to make it fun to learn where countries, U.S. state capitals, and other places are located. The goal of the game is for players to complete a series of geography missions as quickly as possible. Each mission challenges the player to find a location on a map such as the capital of Texas or the African country of Rwanda.

Saline, Michigan - Pearl Crescent, LLC has released GeoZooom! 1.1, a free education geography app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. GeoZooom! combines maps with a warmer/colder feedback system to make it fun to learn where countries, U.S. state capitals, and other places are located.

The goal of the game is for players to complete a series of geography missions as quickly as possible. Each mission challenges the player to find a location on a map such as the capital of Texas or the African country of Rwanda. The app provides immediate feedback to let the player know if they are getting warmer (closer) or colder (farther away from the target location).

Pearl Crescent co-founder Kathleen Brade remarked, "When my daughter had geography class, I realized how little world geography I remembered myself. So I developed GeoZooom!, which gives hot/cold feedback as you zoom to a target location. While developing the app, I learned the locations of many countries and capitals. It is interesting to see where US capitals are located (e.g., near a river) and theorize why some borders are where they are."

Feature Highlights:
* Provides a hint feature which moves a player closer to the target location and often provides helpful text
* Tracks the best times for each mission as well as the best time to complete an entire mission set
* Includes the complete US States mission set as well as previews of 5 other mission sets (more than 90 missions in all)

Virtually Travel the World by an iPhone App - Published on 07/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

YumYumCook is pleased to introduce WhatsGoLa 1.0 for iOS, their photo editing application that allows users to edit favorite photos, remove the background and merge photos with other scenic pictures. The app lets users quickly and virtually fly around the world to collect beautiful scenic pictures and make lifelike, superimposed photos. Showing a world map on the iPhone screen, users can interact with it to find Panoramic photos or snapshots from Google Street View.

Taichung City, Taiwan - YumYumCook is pleased to introduce WhatsGoLa 1.0 for iOS. Ever dream of traveling the world? Most of us may not have enough money and free time to do this. But now, a new iPhone App could make your dream come true ... well, kind of. The idea behind this innovation is to prepare some of your favorite photos, remove the background and then merge those photos with other scenic pictures. With WhatsGoLa, it lets you quickly fly around the world to collect beautiful scenic pictures and make lifelike, superimposed photos.

Photograph via Map:
When it comes to photo post-processing, most photography apps let us acquire source images from the built-in camera or Camera Roll. WhatsGoLa is no exception. But "WhatsGoLa Camera" enhances the capability. Showing a world map on the iPhone screen, users can interact with it to find Panoramic photos or snapshots from Google Street View. As well as pinpointing any location that users want to visit, a search tool is also provided to let users find the most famous attractions in the world in just a few taps. With this tool, users can easily gather beautiful scenic images as backgrounds for the finished masterpiece.

Add Subjects:
Now we have gorgeous background images of the scenery for a chosen location. With the overlay creation tool, we can take a cutout of the subjects from any of our daily photos and overlay onto the background. The concept is simple: just "draw" or "erase". We draw the parts that we need (usually the main people in the image) and erase the part that we don't want (usually the background). This is like the "Chroma-Key" or "Green Screen" effects that we can see on TV, but it can be done with little practice. Now we are ready to merge (or "superimpose") the overlay images with the background scenery photos.

Balance Overlay with Background:
In order to make a superimposed image look true to life, certain things need to be considered. The edge, size and color of the overlay image need to seamlessly match the background image. To achieve that reality factor, the overlay creation tool mentioned above contains a brush hardness slider, which helps smooth the edge of the overlay. Moreover, in the superimpose tool, the overlay position and size can be adjusted by pinch, rotate and pan gestures. With regarding to the color, users can also fine-tune the overlay exposure, contract, saturation and temperature to balance out the composition and make it look real. These tools give more flexibility to allow each overlay image to be superimposed on a wide range of background photos.

Were You Really There:
One thing photography fans love doing is "GeoTagging" the photos they shoot. Not only does it keep a record of where their photos were taken, but also it feeds into people's pleasure of saying "I've been to there". If the background images come from the built-in camera, Google Street View, or Panoramio, the chances are that these images already contain GPS information. WhatsGoLa can preserve the geographic location information after superimposition. If we save the photos back to the Photo Library, we can even select the native iPhone "Photos" app and switch to Map Mode to browse these photographic "trophies".

Sharing:
As well as sharing superimposed images to Facebook and Twitter, WhatsGoLa even lets you share overlay images with Facebook friends. Be careful whom you send overlays to, though. You don't know how naughty your friends could be if they decide to superimpose your overlay on their "special" backgrounds.

What's More:
There are many other features included in this app, which we can't cover all in this article. For example: the "Gyroscope integrated street view camera" simulates the effect of standing on a street, as you look around. We can superimpose multiple overlay images. PNG images can be imported directly, etc. All are waiting for you to explore. WhatsGoLa wishes all of you a pleasant and safe journey to anywhere in your imagination.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 4.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
WhatsGoLa 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Derby Manager 1.0 Free for iOS - High Stakes, Horse Racing Sim + SNS - Published on 07/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DreamBrother Technologies today introduces Derby Manager 1.0 free for iOS, their detailed, high stakes, horse racing simulation. Offering players an impressive number of different kinds of races, breeds of horses, equipment, animal feed, betting, and magical abilities, the app's design includes Social Network Service integration via the company's own HoHool app, available free for mobile devices. Players can enter into and watch, live, interactive, competitive races either on-line or off-line.

Chengdu,Sichuan Province, China - DreamBrother Technologies today is pleased to introduce Derby Manager 1.0 free for iOS, their detailed, high stakes, horse racing simulation. Offering players an impressive number of different kinds of races, breeds of horses, equipment, animal feed, betting, and magical abilities, the app's design includes Social Network Service integration via the company's own HoHool app, available free for mobile devices. Horse racing fans can meet new friends, chat, find local users, and arrange races using the Network's Location Based Service. Players can enter into and watch, live, interactive, competitive races either on-line or off-line.

As of July 6, the iPhone and iPad versions of Derby Manager are officially recommended by Apple as "New and Noteworthy" in the U.S. App Store. In celebration of this auspicious launch, DreamBrother Technologies is making Derby Manager a free download for a limited time only. In addition, the company is rewarding players with a seven day, lucky draw campaign starting July 10, where the company will give away one new iPad per day. Full details are available on the DreamBrother Technologies website (link below).

Feature Highlights:
* Complete simulation of the world of competitive horse racing
* Buy or consign horses chosen by breeding, strengths, ratings, and performance
* Arrange practice, casual, or league races for experience and financial gain
* Readouts track a player's gems and gold coins, horse energy expended, other players, etc.
* All the reality of international horse racing plus a touch of magic

The richly detailed game allows players to select their own human avatar and move freely around the gamespace. Participants can visit the Horse Ranch, Message Board, Hall of Fame, or interact with other players using the Search or Ramble buttons. Another 3D, three-quarter, overhead view lets players visit the Horse Store (18 different horses available for sale or consignment), the General Store (20 different kinds of feed, potions, medicines, and permission cards; 10 different runes or magical objects that can be used during races; 36 different kinds of horse tack, equestrian supplies, and wings), The Mall (for exchange and purchase of gems and gold won in gameplay or gotten via an in-app purchase), and the Sales Office where details of all the player's horses acquired by purchase or consignment are kept (maximum horses per player is three).

Players can evaluate and compare horses using a myriad of measures, and the complete background and performance of each animal can be reviewed on their Breeding Card. There are three lineages of horses: Wind, Thunder, and Fire. Each horse lineage has its own advantages, e.g., Thunder has quick acceleration and is fast out of the gate. The horse lineage can be chosen at the time of purchase and remains fixed. Horse quality is also based on age, grade, mood, energy value, recovery speed, sprint ability, and physical strength. All these factors play a role in the care and training of the animal and in the anticipated performance in competition. Race horses may become injured if raced too often, and they may also become too old to race. If any of their metrics cannot meet the standard to participate in a race, the horse will be retired forcibly.

Derby Manager players and horses may participate in any of three different kinds of races: Practice Races, Nearby and Engagement Races, and Official League Races. Practice Races allow horse and rider to gain experience, which will improve a horse's chances in real-time races, plus win gold coins. Nearby and Engagement races enable players to set up the bonus, enable permissions for betting and random traps in track. Player can invite friends to participate, and these races also gain useful experience and gold coins. Players are allowed to use a maximum of three props in one race in an effort to influence the final results. Official League Races include the Silver League, Bronze League, Gold League, and Diamond League. These are the highest, official races. Each of the four Leagues has its own rules and requirements for competition.

Wagering on the results is permitted in Engagement and League Races. Payouts are determined automatically based on the calculated odds. League Races offer the opportunity to win special bonuses in gold coins or gems. Statistics of all Bets, Odds, Races, Start Times, Winnings, etc. are posted. Result statistics list horses in order of Finish, Owner, Winning Points, Bounty, Level, Experience Points, etc.

The races themselves are side-scrollers, and each of a maximum of six competitors can also move from left to right, independently. Exciting and unpredictable, there are several layers of side-scrolling animation: the foreground that is slightly out of focus and moves by quickly, the track where a maximum of six horse compete in lanes, and the background layers that move by more slowly, adding perspective. Digital readouts measure real-time performance of each horse, and players can use up to three props (potions, wings, runes, etc.) per race to help influence the results.

"Select from 18 different horses, which differ in bloodlines and classes (from E to S)," commented Nancy Xiong of DreamBrother Technologies. "There may be an ultimate horse in a million. Tap the horse card to view specific information."

Parlez Vous EdgeMates? Addictive vocabulary game now in French - Published on 07/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Bob Dronski has announced that EdgeMates, a puzzle matching game to help learn vocabulary on the iPad is now available in French. A series of tiles are created that have vocabulary words on each side. The goal is to place the tiles on the game board so that each word matches up with its translation on the connecting edge. Over 200 words in 11 categories, and 3 levels of difficulty keep users occupied for hours. Also available for Spanish, Italian and Polish.

Chicago, Illinois - EdgeMates - French, the fun, new way to help you learn vocabulary on your iPad is being released just in time for Bastille Day! Release your inner Frenchman now! The object of the game is simple. A series of tiles are created that have vocabulary words on each side. Your goal is to place the tiles on the game board so that each word matches up with its translation on the connecting edge-its "edgemate".

Three different levels of difficulty are available - 4, 9, or 16 tiles. The easy level is perfect for learning the words. Then move on to the more difficult levels.
