Curious Quests releases SlickFlick 2.0.1 for iOS - Photo Storytelling - Published on 11/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Curious Quests Ltd. announces SlickFlick 2.0.1, a major update to its popular photo storytelling app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. SlickFlick encourages anyone to reveal the story behind their photos with captions, stickers and animations. In just seconds, create visually powerful stories from a multitude of photo sources using custom designed themes. Version 2.0.1 is a complete rewrite of the application, introducing a array of great new features and performance gains.

London, United Kingdom - An Ancient Fad. In the odd chance you haven't heard there is a new trend in town: storytelling. But is this really news? From ancient myths to modern screenplays story structure seems to have a harmony that the human brain is perfectly tuned to understand. So, is storytelling the new lingua franca of human communication?

All signs seem to point in that direction. Everything, from social media to marketing messages, is trying to portray itself as storytelling. Facebook posts are now called stories, to sell something you have to tell a story, a pitch of any sort has to have a narrative core. The message is clear: "I won't listen unless you captivate my attention with a Story!"

It is on this premise that SlickFlick, a new iPhone app for picture stories, is being build. Under the strap line "Stories on the fly", SlickFlick encourages people to reveal the story behind their photos with Captions, Stickers and Animations.

This means you can assemble a photo album of sorts in a few seconds from your iPhone and add in captions and stickers to enrich your story, which then the app delivers as an animated slide show. The app aims to engage users in creating stories and entertain them with other people's stories.

Since its release in the App Store just 10 days ago SlickFlick has seen funny, moving, quirky personal accounts of currents events such as Hurricane Sandy, Raikkonen's wining Formula 1 race, Guy Fawkes Day and now the US Election. These are not the telegraphic notes you find on Twitter, nor the Instagram moment captures. These are genuine attempts by ordinary people to tell personal stories, a window in what they think and feel.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 20.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SlickFlick 2.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. We look forward to see how the narrative of this new social platform develops and leave you with a selection of stories published on the app this week.

Cause & Effect 1.0 for iPad - Adventure game that plays out like a movie - Published on 11/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Velvet Rock Apps today introduces Cause & Effect 1.0 for iPad, their brand new adventure game that uses both real video footage and graphics to immerse the player in a world of intrigue. Playing the part of Max Alvarez, users navigate different locations and areas after Max arrives home from work only to find that things are not quite as routine as normal. Players interact with characters by talking to them on a mobile phone or receiving text messages.

Reading, United Kingdom - Velvet Rock Apps today is pleased to introduce Cause & Effect 1.0 for iPad, their brand new adventure game that uses both real video footage and graphics to immerse the player in a world of intrigue. Playing the part of Max Alvarez users navigate different locations and areas after Max arrives home from work only to find that things are not quite as routine as normal! Interacting with characters and objects, it's up to the player to decipher the truth.

The main game screen consists of an 'Action' area, a 'Map' tab, and an 'Areas' tab. Players can navigate their environment by tapping on the 'Areas' tab and doing so will bring up a menu that pleasantly slides up to reveal a list of areas to explore within that location. The 'Map' tab works in the same way as the 'Areas' tab and reveals a number of different locations, they are all locked except one at the start of the game. Players interact with characters by talking to them on a mobile phone or receiving text messages.

At certain intervals throughout the game 'Options' will appear and it's up to the player to decide which option to choose, this can influence how the game plays out. There are also puzzles that the player needs to figure out, such as finding a key to a summerhouse and cracking a lock code, all the clues are available but it's up to the player to piece them together. The game also includes a number of different sound effects, such as tweeting birds in the garden which further enhances the experience.

Initially the game consists of a single chapter but further chapters will be released at timed intervals. New chapters will be released via updates to the game.

There are thousands of games available for iOS and trying to stand out from the crowd and create some originality is becoming increasingly difficult. Cause & Effect offers something new to the App Store and a game that many players will enjoy. The attention to detail and amount of work that has gone into the game is clear to see and the navigation is beautifully executed. The way the video has been edited and implemented makes Cause & Effect a standout game on the App Store.

Feature Highlights:
* Uses real video footage
* Player decisions influence how the game plays out
* Simple player controls
* Immersive experience
* Chapter based story line
* Saves automatically at certain intervals
* First chapter is free
* Chapters released throughout the year adding longevity and intrigue

"Cause & Effect has been an incredibly intense project and something I am very proud of," commented company founder, Chris Yates. "the idea came about in early 2011 but at that time I was unsure whether the iPad would have the necessary memory to run such a game. Player feedback and reviews have been fantastic and further inspires me to create even better and more involving chapters in the future."

Device Requirements:
* iPad compatible
* iOS 5.1 or later
* 153 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cause & Effect 1.0 for iPad is free and available worldwide through the iTunes App Store in the Games & Entertainment categories.

Shaderific now with built-in GLSL reference and context-sensitive help - Published on 11/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shaderific version 2.4 is available on the App Store now. Shaderific is an educational app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch that helps computer science students and experienced developers to get started with OpenGL ES 2.0 shader development. The app makes it possible to write, compile and test shader programs directly on any iOS device without ever touching a laptop or desktop computer. Version 2.4 adds a built-in reference for the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and context-sensitive help.

Hamburg, Germany - Gryphos GmbH today released Shaderific version 2.4, a significant update of its OpenGL ES 2.0 shader development application for iOS. Shaderific provides the full range of shader development with the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) on tablet computers and mobile devices. Vertex and fragment shader code can be created, edited and compiled on the device and all changes are visible instantly. There is no need to use a personal computer (laptop or desktop) in the shader development process anymore.

The update adds a built-in GLSL reference and context-sensitive help. The reference comprises a detailed description of all GLSL data types, qualifiers, variables, constants, statements and functions. Context-sensitive help can be invoked while editing code by pressing the tab button on the extended keyboard. If the cursor is at the end of a GLSL keyword a description and usage examples are shown in a popup.

Starting shader development can be a difficult and complex task for a beginner. Shaderific smoothes the learning experience dramatically by hiding away a lot of the technical complexity, that way letting the user focus solely on the shaders. 18 build-in shaders are demonstrating fundamental development techniques ranging from basic coloring and lighting shaders to advanced texture shaders with normal and environment mapping. The user can start to experiment with these shaders right away without writing a line of code. Alternatively, shader, object and texture files can be imported via Dropbox to give a maximum of flexibility in creating new custom shaders.

Shaderific streamlines the process of prototyping, testing and debugging shaders immensely by cutting the cord to the personal computer. Whereas traditional shader development requires compilation of the whole graphics application for every change to a shader file, all this is unnecessary now. Since the shaders are edited and compiled right on the iPad, iPhone or iPod no file transfer is needed with a personal computer and a lot of time can be saved. A further strength of Shaderific lies in the possibility to change parameters (uniforms) of the shaders via the settings menu without interrupting the rendering loop. All changes can be examined in real-time and fine-tuning the rendering result is fast and easy.

New features of version 2.4:
* Built-in OpenGL Shading Language reference (iOS 6)
* Context-sensitive help in the shader editor (iOS6 / iPad)
* Import images from your photo library
* Scrollable error messages
* Two new fonts from the Source Code Pro family
* Option for displaying the frame rate

Device requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 27.9 MB

Pricing and availability:
Shaderific is available as a free version and a paid version for $3.99 (USD), or the local equivalent, on the iTunes App Store. Review copies are available upon request.

CatchPlus - a free mobile app for iOS that gives users the chance to prove they have the keenest eye in the realm of High-resolution, pop culture messaging and advertising - now enables users to share their photos to the CatchPlus Facebook page, and submit photos for inclusion as actual image puzzles within the game.

CatchPlus sends users off on an adventure to find all the subtle changes hidden beneath the surface of two nearly identical, side-by-side (high-resolution) photos or advertisements displayed in the mobile game. Find all the differences, move on to the next challenge, and build up points to achieve a higher rank and a cooler badge. Aside from giving users the chance to 'catch' all the differences, build up some of rewards, and move up in the global rankings, CatchPlus - which comes with bonus features that ensure the keenest of eyes won't get bored - now offers the excitement of enhanced social interplay and user contribution with its new Facebook photo-share feature.

"Users of mobile apps are very discerning and have a very keen eye for the details - and CatchPlus is already so unique because it lets users critique some of the recognizable brand messaging that can be readily found and seen out in the marketplace," said Ubi Nuri Product Manager, Lena Kwon. "We've also wanted to keep this fresh - not just picture challenges. We've included an element that allows for users to not only be entertained - but for them to click through on images to link to opportunities for more information, or to comment on a particular brand or message. And, with the new photo share feature, via Facebook, we're delivering great new ways for users to interact."

CatchPlus is updated weekly with new images and games, and users can collect vouchers along the way to be turned in for special prizes. The app also comes with some surprises for users who make their way through the picture hunt.
