Staircase Entertainment Announces Terra: Formations - Published on 09/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Irish Starcave Entertainment proudly announces the return of development of its first "AAA" title and first multiplatform game, Terra: Formations. After six years underground, both Starcave & Terra: Formations have returned to the light of day once more. Will this be a story of the underdog back or will history repeat itself? The game is developed for MAC and PC. Genres Collide In Explosive "Aaa" Title.

Galway, Ireland - Irish Starcave Entertainment proudly announces the return of development of its first "AAA" title and first multiplatform game, Terra: Formations! After six years underground, both Starcave & Terra: Formations have returned to the light of day once more. Will this be a story of the underdog back or will history repeat itself! The game is developed for MAC & PC.

In Terra: Formations, players have the freedom to select their preferred style of game play, ranging from high action First Person Shooter (FPS) to more strategic Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game-play of controlling real players in battle (Multiplayer) while building defences! It's the clash of the titans when it comes to game genres; FPS, RTS and Online Multiplayer worlds - all tied together in this awesome looking fast-paced, action packed, futuristic Massive Multimedia Online Game (MMOG), also featuring single-player options and adventure elements! In short, Terra: Formations will appeal to every hardcore gamer! Terra: Formations is now developed on the UDK (Unreal Engine 3) to bring it forward in graphical enhancements after six years on one of the most powerful "AAA" engines on the market.

By the year 2157, mankind had depleted the resources of planet earth with his lust for power, technological advancements and greed. Ironically, the very machines that played a role in mankind's irrevocable position were the only chance of survival! After several years of uncertainty, hope was reborn with the efforts of the Global Military Alliance to Terraform one of earth's celestial neighbours, Jupiter's moon called "Europa". It wasn't until the excavation of the satellite's icy crust that mankind learned the truth; he was not alone and something, somewhere, was waiting, watching, learning and preparing for battle!

As a player in Terra: Formation, you join the ranks of an elite military force with the objective of reshaping the environments of inhospitable worlds, experience the evolution of a developing planet, and take command to become humanities only hope for survival in an epic struggle for control of the solar system.

Four classes of characters offer different insight to the chaotic world, each providing a unique blend of interaction. The Soldier faction allows for adrenaline pumping action that players have come to expect from traditional FPS games. As a member of the Engineer class, the player becomes the key element in the development of the environment by constructing and repairing mankind's lifeline to the world (FPS / RTS). The Researcher class explores the evolution of the world to enhance society's tools and develop new technology (FPS / RTS), and finally the player can opt to take command (RTS) of the action from the perspective of the commander class to bring order to an uncertain future, tying RTS elements into Terra: Formations.

Terra: Formations Funding Campaign - Help Us Get This Game Completed!

Starcave Entertainment has launched Terra: Formations on towards the goal of getting funded by fans of the game! The game is also featured on the new Steam Greenlight to engage with the community to help shape the game to completion.

SYS Activity Manager 4.0 Optimized for iPhone 5 Widescreen And iOS6 - Published on 09/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appsware today announces the upcoming release of SYS Activity Manager 4.0 for iOS, an update to their utility app optimized for iPhone 5 widescreen. The app helps identify memory being used on a mobile device, allowing users to free up memory space, monitor 3G and Wi-Fi network speed, monitor and improve battery life, and speed up device performance. Already the #1 downloaded app in more than 17 countries around the world, version 4.0 will be available for download from 21st September.

Brooklyn, New York - Appsware today is pleased to announce the upcoming release of SYS Activity Manager 4.0 for iOS, an update to their Utility app optimized for iPhone 5 widescreen that helps identify memory being used on a mobile device, allowing users to free up memory space, monitor 3G and Wi-Fi network speed, monitor and improve battery life, and speed up device performance. The update version already in App Store review process. Version 4.0 will be available for download from 21st September. The SYS Activity Manager utility was already the #1 downloaded app in all category in more than 17 countries around the world including Germany, Italy and Japan, and #1 downloaded utility app its kind worldwide including USA App Store with 4.8 user ratings.

Owing to their multitasking capabilities, there are cases where applications that appear to have been closed actually may remain running in the background, limiting the performance of an iDevice. SYS Activity Manager locates, displays, and auto-closes these applications, freeing up device memory and enabling a faster running device. SYS Activity Manager can find the memory and battery draining applications that other apps cannot. It generates a graphic and data representation of Wired, Active, Inactive, and Free memory allocation, providing users with a real-time view of the memory status of their device. In addition, the app provides Process details, information on Free and Used disc space, Battery Life status, and Network particulars. With its easy-to-use graphical user interface, the app is intuitive and completely "non-technical."

Having applications that are not currently being used running in the background of a mobile device can drain battery and reduce the speed and performance of a mobile device. This can be a frustrating experience as users rely on optimally functioning mobile devices for their business and personal lives. Fortunately, the information and functionality that SYS Activity Manager provides allows users to easily identify and close these applications, providing optimal device function and battery life. Memory optimization apps perform two related jobs. One, they scan the device, looking for applications that are running, despite not being currently in use on the device. And two, they allow the user to close unnecessary applications identified in the scan. SYS Activity Manager performs both of these functions with a single button, making this a maintenance task that can be performed quickly and effortlessly.

SYS Activity Manager 4.0 for iOS is part of a new breed of memory management and optimization apps for three important reasons. First, SYS Activity Manager is uncomplicated and easy to use. The user is provided with real-time accurate information and can easily identify and close running applications. There are no Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced memory management methods. There is one simple default that works flawlessly. SYS Activity Manager instructs users to identify open applications by double-clicking on the Home button, highlighting the application the user wishes to close, and closing the application.

The second reason SYS Activity Manager represents a new kind of memory management app is that its scan will find memory draining applications that other apps miss. Third and last, SYS Activity Manager displays current information in real time, while the app continues to scan.

Feature Highlights:
* iPhone, iPad, iPod memory(RAM) cleaning
* User-friendly graphic interface
* Easy adjustments for optimal battery life and device performance
* Scan for memory usage, applications running, in real time
* Visualization of Wired, Active, Inactive, Free memory allocation
* List display of running background applications and other system processes
* Multiple visual displays detailing battery status and use
* Configurable full charge & battery maintenance alerts
* 100% charge notification, effective for users in a rush
* Accurate time-to-charge displays
* Visualization of disk space status and usage
* Detect cellular data network & Wi-Fi network connection status
* Internet connection speed test

SYS Activity Manager provides detailed information beyond current memory usage. The Process tab of SYS Activity Manager features a list display of running background applications and other system processes. It instructs users on how to close and manage background applications to reduce the load on the CPU, battery and memory. The Disc tab provides a visualization and data summary of disc space and usage. The Battery Tab allows users to adjust battery health and perform an accurate, 3-step charge process. It supports full cycle and trickle charging and features multiple battery detail visual displays, alarms to indicate charging status, 100% charge notification, and more. The Network tab detects cellular data network & Wi-Fi network connection statuses, displays IP & MAC addresses, and Internet connection speed test.

"SYS Activity Manager is the simple, stress-free way to improve the battery life and speed of your mobile device," stated Appsware's Taslim Sohel. "Unlike other data memory optimization programs that are difficult to learn and use, SYS Activity Manager works as soon as it's launched. Never unnecessarily drain your battery again."
