Night Sky Stars Shine Bright in New App - Published on 07/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Photographer and designer, Nick Risinger, introduces Sky Survey 1.0 for iOS. Based on his portrait of the cosmos which gained notoriety in 2011, Sky Survey 1.0 for iOS delivers a highly realistic and interactive window to the night sky. The app is based on over 37,000 photographic exposures collected over the course of Risinger's year-long journey spanning 60,000 miles. The end result is a visual experience that is more like an x-ray window to the sky than a simulated map.

Seattle, Washington - Dubbed 'Sky Survey', photographer and designer Nick Risinger has released a new iPhone and iPad app that gives users a never before seen view of the heavens. Based on his portrait of the cosmos which gained notoriety in 2011, Sky Survey debuts on the iOS platform to deliver a highly realistic and interactive window to the night sky.

"I've squeezed every possible drop of my photography into this app to give people a new way to experience the stars," said Risinger, founder of the app's parent company, UNIVRSE. "To reveal and interact with the night sky in photographic detail is a truly magical experience. For me, it's a dream come true."

What sets Sky Survey apart from usual planetarium apps are the powerful graphics. While others use computer generated points to represent stars, 'Sky Survey' is based on over 37,000 photographic exposures collected over the course of Risinger's year-long journey spanning 60,000 miles. The end result is a visual experience that is more like an x-ray window to the sky than a simulated map.

"Things look more real in this app because they are real," said Risinger. "In a sense, it gives you superhuman vision to a hidden reality. And, at the same time, it's a great astronomy teaching tool with Wikipedia integration and an interactive search feature."

Users who are curious to identify Saturn, Orion, or any number of celestial sights can be automatically guided where to look with a simple search. The app automatically orients itself to the user's current time and location so everything is displayed in its correct place. Plus, the app supports Apple's latest iPad with Retina display for super-crisp graphics. Risinger credits the performance of the app to a development company known as R&D Arts.

"We tried very hard to push the limits of this technology and the result is one of the most fluid apps on the iOS platform," said Evgeny Maksakov of R&D Arts, chief engineer of the Sky Survey app. "The way it responds to your movements really does create the illusion of holding a window to the night sky and makes it a joy to use."

About R&D Arts, Inc:
R&D Arts, Inc. is a software research and development and consulting company with headquarters in Vancouver, BC. Founded by a group of technology enthusiasts, R&D Arts specializes in mobile multimedia, mobile video editing, digital cartography, navigation, dynamic data analysis, augmented reality, and reporting technologies.

Nick Risinger's photographic work made worldwide news in 2011 with his 'Photopic Sky Survey', a 5,000 megapixel panorama of the entire night sky. Since its release, it has received accolades from the Advanced Imaging Conference and the Cartography and Geographical Informational Society, has been featured in international astronomical publications and has been adopted for use by the European Southern Observatory. Risinger has appeared on PRI's The World, Wired.com and has given talks to enthusiasts at Boeing, Intel and Pixar. His company, UNIVRSE, LLC is responsible for distributing the Sky Survey app.

Agent Express Lets Users Manage Detailed Sales Data On The Go - Published on 07/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lippolis Domenico has announced the release of Agent Express 1.0 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. This is the first and only app of its kind in the App Store, giving users the ability to manage sales orders, clients' personal data and more from their device. Busy sales people can now record new orders, review old or repeating orders, and generate detailed sales reports from anywhere in the world without an internet connection.

Rome, Italy - Announcing that Lippolis Domenico, an independent developer of innovative business apps, has just released an exciting new mobile application for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Agent Express 1.0 is the first and only app to give busy sales people complete control of their clients' personal data, past and current orders and more from their device.

Agent Express Features Include:
* Total management of vendor and client data right on your device
* No internet access required
* Import client and vendor data from address book
* Sync to address book so information is always up to date
* Create appointments and events in device calendar right from the app
* Export data to other apps in CSV format via email or iTunes file transfer
* Create and search detailed order reports
* Report search results filtered by month or year, order status, area and more

When a client calls, users no longer need to be near their business computer to conduct business. With Agent Express, the user's iOS device becomes their business computer! They have immediate access to important information regarding any client or vendor. Successful sales professionals can now record new orders, review old or repeating orders, and generate detailed sales reports from anywhere in the world without an online account or even an internet connection.

When a new order is taken, the Agent Express users can now generate a detailed report of the transaction and store it within the app. By adding such information as date of sale, number of units ordered, unit price, total price of order and even item brands, users can recall and review the order whenever they need it. This feature is a boon for sales people that often receive calls from clients needing to make a repeating order, or can't recall what was last ordered or when. Reports are searchable, and results can be sorted by season, client name, company name, order status or geographical area, so users have quick access to all the information they need to complete any transaction.

The app is equally effective for keeping track of one's own orders with vendors. If a client should call to enquire about a late order, a quick search will tell users what they may have on backorder with other suppliers that may be causing the delay. By generating and saving detailed reports of transactions with their suppliers, the user always knows what they have ordered what they still need to purchase. The ability to add appointments and events to the device's calendar without leaving the app means that there are no more missed re-orders or ship dates!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 4.0 or later
* 7.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Agent Express 1.0 is only $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Hip Modern Re-Telling Satirizes Fairy Tale Genre in Luna Red Riding Hood - Published on 07/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brandissimo! today introduces Luna Kettlebottom and the Magic Cauldron Society: Luna Red Riding Hood for iPad. A free eBook for kids 4-8, it�s a modern retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. CEO David Snyder, a former head of creative content at Disney TV Intl, brings an obsession for quality to every aspect of the app: graphics, animation, voiceovers, music, sound effects, and interactivity. The app is filled with jokes, puns, humorous alliteration and interactivity.

Encino, California - Brandissimo! Inc. today is pleased to introduce Luna Kettlebottom and the Magic Cauldron Society: Luna Red Riding Hood for iPad. A free eBook for kids 4-8, the book is a modern retelling of the classic fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. The company's CEO, David Snyder, is a former head of creative content at Disney TV Intl, and the app features graphics, animation, voiceovers, music, sound effects, and interactivity far superior to most kids' eBooks. The app is filled with jokes, puns, and humorous alliteration, and there are touch-activated, reader activities on all 25 pages.

Feature Highlights:
* Fun adaptation of a classic story
* Your child actively helps our gang get through the story...our books are engaging experiences that support reading skills
* Hidden treats on every page
* The second great adventure in the new Luna Kettlebottom and The Magic Cauldron Society story series
* New, advanced animation and interactivity
* Perfect for kids 4-8 years old
* Fun for parents too!
* Play the accompanying game, Cauldron Chaos (in-app purchase)

Luna Kettlebottom is a new series of eBooks about a group of "monster" kids who are transported together, through a magic cauldron, into exciting and funny adventures. The app's title page introduces the gang: Luna Kettlebottom, a young, organizationally-minded girl, who is the founder of the Magic Cauldron Society and the story�s narrator; Ghoulia, her self-obsessed, valley girl girlfriend; Vlad, the adventurous young boy with vampirish good looks and an accomplished punster; and Howl, the big hungry and hairy werewolf. The fairy tale begins as they all gather in the secret room of the petrified tree, just as they did in their first adventure, Luna Kettlebottom and the Magic Cauldron Society: Vlad and the Beanstalk.

There is a playful rivalry between Luna and Ghoulia, and when Ghoulia makes an insulting comment about her friend's pointy witch's hat, Luna impetuously jumps into the cauldron. Having suddenly begun their adventure by herself, Ghoulia, Vlad, Howl, and pet dog Woofenstein are forced to jump in and try to catch up. After going through the Magic Cauldron Vortex they land in the village as characters in the tale. Luna takes the starring role as Red Riding Hood, Ghoulia plays the Grandma, the male lead is Vlad as the Woodcutter, and Howl makes a guest appearance as the Wolf.

Luna Red Riding Hood sets out on her visit to Grandma's house, warned not to ever leave the path. On her way, she meets the Woodcutter, helps him sharpen his axe, and in return receives a noisemaker to blow if she gets into trouble. Afterwards, she comes to a sign on the path, "Stop! Path Closed!," and leaning mischievously with his elbow on the sign is Howl the Wolf. "This is your LUCKY DAY! I happen to know that for a limited time only, one of these secret trails here will get you to Grandma's House the fastest! So think carefully... would you like to take Trail Number 1? Trail Number 2? Or Trail Number 3?" And the reader must choose one of the three illuminated trails signs.

Over the course of the story, we go through an interactive game to return to the path, and finally arrive at Grandma's House. Of course, the Wolf has eaten her, and dressed in her clothing (user-selectable), is now pretending to be her as she lay in bed. There are some awesome animation effects as Luna notices Grandma's very big eyes, ears, and teeth. At every step of the way, there are puns, jokes, and adventure, fashioning a perfect, modern-day adaptation of the famous fairy tale. Featuring more advanced interactivity and visual effects than the first book, Luna Red Riding Hood includes such cinematic touches as POV and overhead shots, motion blur, and canted camera angles. The complete eBook is free and allows parents and kids to follow Luna and the gang from start to finish. For those readers wanting to know more about the Magic Cauldron Society, there is an optional, accompanying game, entitled Cauldron Chaos that can be unlocked through an in-app purchase.

What separates Luna Kettlebottom and the Magic Cauldron Society from the many offerings for children on the iTunes App Store is the extraordinary quality of every aspect of the book's production. As stated, the app features graphics, animation, voiceovers, music, sound effects, and interactivity far superior to similar eBooks. Particularly noteworthy are the performances of the veteran voiceover artists who play the roles of the children. Both their personas and earnest dialogue lend the story a level of realism not often achieved in eBooks.

"We looked at the market for kids' eBooks and found that almost all of their producers were simply slapping the hard cover book into the digital medium with very minor interactivity. So we developed Luna Kettlebottom such that the young reader actively participates in the story on every page," commented Andrew Babb of Brandissimo!. "The text is on the bottom of the page and the reader interacts with the characters in the illustrations in order to progress through the adventure. Speech bubbles are revealed and heard aloud by touching each character. By including relevant gameplay in our books we hope to help early readers experience the joy of reading."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 52.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Luna Kettlebottom and the Magic Cauldron Society: Luna Red Riding Hood is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. Cauldron Chaos, the accompanying game, is available as an in-app purchase for $0.99 (USD).

PlayerDuel Adds Play with Friends to Any Mobile Game - Published on 07/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PlayerDuel introduces PlayerDuel SDK for mobile developers. PlayerDuel provides a layer on top of mobile games, that game developers can integrate inside their games, increasing user-retention and revenue. Players will have the ability to play with others on one-on-one matches or to play many people in a single match. With asynchronous and real time play, performance statistics, skill-based new game recognition, PlayerDuel is built as a platform to impact the success of game developers.

Palo Alto, California - The mobile gaming market is booming. It is an $18 billion market, more than 500 million players and more than 750 smartphones sold every day. However, despite current growth, most game developers are still challenged in turning their business into a huge success.

OMGPOP's "Draw Something" (now own by Zynga) is a great success. Within 7 weeks they had 50 million downloads, it generate $250,000 in revenue per day. So why is it so successful?

Play with Friends! That's what makes Draw Something viral. You simply need your friends to make your game experience an exciting one. Those who play know that playing alone is boring!

For game developers building a social game with friends is technically challenging. This is the reason that 99% of the mobile games are single player games.

PlayerDuel built technology to solve this challenge for game developers. It is not only free but it is also simple. Game developers can integrate with PlayerDuel in less than ten minutes. Which means that for players in less than 10 minutes Rovio can let you play Angry Birds with your friends!

While game developers can still use other game platforms such as game center, Gree or Papaya mobile, with PlayerDuel inside a game the players will have the ability to play with friends in a new way. Instead of limiting it to one-on-one matches, PlayerDuel allows one-to-many matches, where you can play against as many friends as you want in a single match. With PlayerDuel you can play on real time or asynchronously so your friends don't have to be online at the same time as you. In addition, players get full statistics about the performance and their opponents and receive recommendations for new games based on their skills. To spice it up, players on PlayerDuel are playing with virtual coins to earn them a spot in lucrative tournaments.

While PlayerDuel is great for the players, it is built as a platform to impact the success of game developers. PlayerDuel was tested by several game developers over the last two months and the results were amazing: Through the simple action of players inviting their friends, the game is turning viral. This significantly lowers the customer acquisition costs and tripling numbers of downloads.

Playing with friends increases the amount of time players spend in the game by 400%, therefore increasing user retention.

Through PlayerDuel, developers have a new way to monetize their game in addition to what they are doing today.
PlayerDuel's SDK is currently available for free on IOS (iPhone) and available for download after quick registration on PlayerDuel online.

PlayerDuel is based in Silicon Valley, California and working on additional features and games to be added to the platform. It's vision is that every time a player opens a game and sees the PlayerDuel logo inside, he will know that he is not alone and can play with friends. Copyright (C) 2012 PlayerDuel.
