IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FotoMagico, Boinx Software's slideshow creation tool for the Mac, has reached another milestone by updating to version 4.1. FotoMagico 4 takes slideshow presentations to a new level of brilliance. The latest upgrade to this slideshow software adds support for multiple layers, a new timeline for fine-tuned control over slides, improved audio syncing, and more. The new upgrade includes media markers to easily manage used media files, export options to share work on Vimeo, and the ability to use FotoMagico in a ProRes-based workflow.

Puchheim, Germany - FotoMagico, Boinx Software's slideshow creation tool for the Mac, has reached another milestone by updating to version 4.1. The new upgrade includes media markers to easily manage used media files, export options to share work on Vimeo, and the ability to use FotoMagico in a ProRes-based workflow.

Torus Becomes First iPhone Game to Offer 3D Printed Achievements - Published on 12/14/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3D prints of models in the game Torus 1.1.0 are now available for online ordering or downloading for home 3D printing. The original Torus for iPhone has players tilting their device parallel to the floor, moving a base hook to catch falling Tori or take damage. Many games offer achievement badges. Torus is the first game to offer 3D printed rewards. Scoring 3000, 6000, 9000 or 12,000 points unlock 3D prints to order for a unique desk set when added to the base.

Oakland, California - Torus 1.1.0 is the first iPhone video game to offer 3D printed achievements! Reward Torus 3D prints are unlocked for purchase at 3000, 6000, 9000 and 12,000 points. An achievement 3D print is also unlocked for just completing your first game! When you have finished playing, the hi-score table view displays an ordering link for the score value you have reached.

The 3D print of the base hook players use in Torus to catch falling rings is a free download available now for home 3D printing. A 3D print can also be ordered for home delivery at the uplink.to shop on Shapeways. Shapeways handles the production, shipment and customer service for all Torus video game achievement 3D printed models. Each Torus ring is printed with a different Shapeways material reflecting its score value and color in the game.

Played 1 game: Polished Alumide (nylon and aluminum)

The bonus achievement Torus Played One Game Reward is unlocked by playing a single game of Torus, a free download from the App Store. After completing the game a link will be displayed to order this alumide 3d print from Shapeways.

Higher scores will display different links to order each Torus type:
* 3000+ points: White Strong & Flexible (nylon plastic)
* 6000+ points: Coral Red Strong & Flexible (nylon plastic)
* 9000+ points: White Detail (acrylic-based photopolymer)
* 12000+ points: Stainless Steel (bronze infused)
* Base Hook: Black Strong & Flexible (nylon plastic)

The Base Hook is available now directly from the uplink.to Shapeways shop. The model STL file can also be downloaded for 3D printing at home. The Torus rings are printed by Shapeways with a bed of powdered source material, then laser sintering the powder with a laser layer by layer, solidifying the powder as each row of the solid is formed.

Each Torus ring is approximately 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) in diameter and 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) high. The rings fit over the base hook 3d print. The hook cylinder is 8 mm wide, and the base itself is 5 centimeters (2 inches) by 5 centimeters. A unique, colorful desk set of base 3D print and achievement Tori is formed by the base and rings as you progress through the game.

The original Torus for iPhone features 5 music tracks, absorbing ambient audio surrounds you while Tori fall towards the Oakland Estuary off Jack London Square. The various Torus colors fall at different rates, the faster the Torus, the more points it's worth. Instead of aiming the rings at a peg, the peg moves on a platform to catch the cascading Tori within the tennis court like playing field. The game uses the iPhone/iPod touch's accelerometer to control movement of the platform: simply tilt the unit to control the platform's movement.

Missed Tori count against health points. If you miss too many, you lose. But, if you catch glowing green Tori, your health increases. Synchronized catch, bump and miss locational sound effects combine with an intensifying pace to enhance accelerometer interaction. The deceptive simplicity of the game design and intuitive interface allow casual gamers to enjoy a commute or a break, while enabling more serious gamers to unlock the 3D printed achievements at the higher score levels.

All models available for purchase are early integration test versions. The materials are not watertight, not dishwasher safe, not recyclable, and not foodsafe. Please note that the 3D printed products are intended for decorative purposes. They are not suited to be used as toys or to be given to underage children. The products should not come in to contact with electricity and be kept away from heat.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 2.2.1 or later
* 14.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Torus 1.1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

Dream Bucket List App - Live The Life You've Always Imagined - Published on 12/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver based Switchback Media LLC introduces Dream Bucket List 1.0, its new lifestyle app developed for iOS devices devices. Dream Bucket List is designed specifically to keep the user focused and driven on completing their long-elusive goals by guiding them through the potentially painful planning process. It features a "Your Bucket" screen, giving the user the freedom to list everything they want to knock off their bucket list. Within each bucket list item, the user can set up smaller goals.

Denver, Colorado - Live the life you've always imagined! Switchback Media LLC is proud to announce the release of its newest app, Dream Bucket List, the second of three in a line of list keeping apps available free today in the iTunes store. Although Dream Bucket List showcases a fun and simple interface similar to that of Gift It, Switchback's Christmas Shopping List app, the goal (no pun intended) with Dream Bucket List is straightforward: It is designed to keep the user focused and driven on completing their long-elusive goals by guiding them through the potentially painful planning process.

"We all have that one thing in our lives that we're longing to do but either keep putting it off or start it only to quickly get distracted and discouraged" says Switchback Media Chief Creative Officer, Mark Imperial. "And it's never a good feeling when that happens, especially when it can be avoided with only minimal planning and a little push from the right person, or app in this case."

Dream Bucket List functions similarly to Gift It. However, It features a "Your Bucket" screen, giving the user the freedom to list everything they want to knock off their bucket list. Within each bucket list item, the user can set up smaller goals that will lead them to their major bucket list goal. Whether a goal costs money or it's free, the user will always have this information with them, right on their smart phone. Switchback feels that this feature sets their bucket list app apart from some of the similar apps in the iTunes store.

"Without the app, it's similar to expecting someone to start driving West from New York to California without any specific itinerary. Sure they will understand that they must drive West, but what motivates them to keep going without being shown the exact roads and how much money they need to spend on gas?" states Imperial.

Once a goal is completed it can be deleted entirely or crossed out and moved to the bottom of the list to show the accomplishment. Progress can be tracked by percentage or color scale to show how close the user is to completing their long-desired dream.

"People will be pleasantly surprised at how fast and pain free the process of completing major goals really is after one completed bucket list item turns into five completed bucket list items" says Chris Allan, Switchback Media's Chief Executive Officer. "It's an unbelievable testament to the power of planning and momentum!."

Dream Bucket List also features the ability to share common Bucket lists, goals and plans with friends and family. Switchback understands that many goals and dream vacations involve more than one individual so they felt it was important to implement a sharing process.

Feature Highlights:
* Easy looking and relaxed theme to take the stressful edge off of goal planning
* Share bucket list options that allow user to work with others to complete a goal together or plan that dream vacation
* User can create and manage Bucket lists within their "Bucket" and manage lists by setting goals to reach those accomplishments
* User can easily track the progress of their lists to help them stay focused

"Is reaching these goals still going to be difficult and does it take some effort in the long run? You betcha, but it's much easier when it's listed and you have a helping hand to guide you each day" assures Imperial.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS (or above), iPod touch (3rd generation and above) or iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 16.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Dream Bucket List 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively though the App Store in the Lifestyle and Productivity categories.
