Faro discovers that he is a Magi from an Ancient order called the Dynasty, and he must use his dark power to survive and unravel secrets, traps and betrayals set for him.

The first game being integrated with the series is titled "Words of Power". In this MMO iPad app, players choose good or evil, the Underworld or the Outerworld. While experiencing the immersive online world, they can network with friends to recruit allies and discover hidden powers, prophecies and characters from the unfolding eBook series.

PoetCode has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help with funding for the soon-to-come Dynasty of the Magi updates. The initial updates includes Dynasty of the Magi 1.1, which will add an Android port, content upgrade, expanded quest factions, and unique groups with customized goals.

Attachable iPhone Photography Accessory Solves Glare Problems - Published on 12/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Have you ever tried to take pictures with your iPhone outside on a sunny day? It's hard to see what is on the display because the sun washes it out. The Daylight Viewfinder changes that. Sig Innovations, LLC marked the official launch of its patent-pending eyepiece accessory for iPhone photography. The Daylight Viewfinder is a viewfinder eyepiece for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad that blocks out external light to make taking photos in bright sunlight easier.

Portland, Oregon - Sig Innovations, LLC marked the official launch of its patent-pending eyepiece accessory for iPhone photography. Inspired by an engineer's frustration with the high-glare environment on Oregon's Mt. Hood, where bright conditions made it tough to see his own iPhone screen, the Daylight Viewfinder project was born.

The Daylight Viewfinder is a two-part solution for photography in bright sunlight or high-glare situations. One part eyepiece, and one part iPhone app. On the software side, the Daylight Viewfinder app shrinks the iPhone's live camera image down to a size that fits under the eyepiece. The eyepiece, which attaches to the iPhone screen via suction, focuses and magnifies the image. Users looking through the eyepiece see the live camera image with camera controls superimposed on the image. A touch indicator that shows where they're touching the phone's display allows them to easily operate the controls.

"With Apple's displays becoming increasingly sharper and iPhone cameras now at 8-megapixels and with full HD video resolution, these devices are clearly a more serious photography and videography platform than your typical cell phone camera," says the inventor. "But when the sun's out or you're in a situation with a lot of glare, you're reduced to guesswork in terms of composing your shot. I wanted to change that - to give iPhone users the creative control they desire."

The company has worked hard to keep the development process localized. All of the parts but one are manufactured in Vancouver and a local seamstress makes the cloth carry pouches. The Daylight Viewfinder is 90% American made and within a month or two, when the company switches to having the one last part made locally, it will be 100% made in the USA.

The Daylight Viewfinder app is available for download for free from the Apple App Store. The eyepiece is available for purchase at Sig Innovations online, where users can also find demo videos, instructions, links to the free app, and support resources.

The Daylight Viewfinder for iPhone is the company's first product in commercial production. Copyright (C) 2012 Sig Innovations LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Musix Pro for iOS - An Epic Musical Instrument and Control Surface - Published on 12/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shiverware today announces Musix Pro, a revolutionary musical instrument and control surface for the iPad/iPhone. The unique hexagonal or rectangular note layouts allows newcomers to learn how to play music faster than conventional instruments; while giving experienced musicians a fresh look on music and harmony. With many note arrangements (Janko: piano, Wicki-Hayden: accordion, Linnstrument: guitar) and MIDI/OSC connectivity, the possibilities are endless.

Regina, Canada - Shiverware today is pleased to announce the release of Musix Pro, a new iOS musical instrument. Musix Pro is the successor to Musix, a revolutionary instrument and control surface for the iPad/iPhone. The unique hexagonal or rectangular note layouts allows newcomers to learn how to play music much faster than conventional instruments;w hile giving experienced musicians a fresh look on music and harmony which sparks creativity.

Audio can be generated with built-in instruments, or with external synthesizers via Core Midi or OSC. Musix Pro allows the user to arrange the notes of the scale to be like a piano, an accordion, a concertina, or a guitar. The most common layouts such as Wicki-Hayden, Janko, Harmonic Table and Linnstrument are all included as presets, and you can build your own layouts. When you combine Musix Pro with apps such as Samplewiz, NLog Synth Pro, Arctic Keys or Sunrizer, the possibilities are endless.

The musical power of Musix Pro is derived from the use of isomorphic note layouts, which allow the whole screen to be filled with harmonically related notes in the shape of hexagons, rectangles or squares. The systematic layout of pitches creates a playing surface that enables the exploration of musical possibilities unavailable in traditional instruments. The end result is that a non-musical person can learn how to play every major and minor chord in under 5 minutes, which typically take weeks or years on a piano. The nature of the note layouts turns playing music into making shapes.

People love music and many people would love to play but don't have the time or patience to learn. With Musix Pro, learning to play can take much less time and be more fun and engaging.

Device Requirements"
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later

iScape 2.0 for iOS - Smart Landscape Design: Simple, Intuitive Controls - Published on 12/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Home Revivals today announces iScape 2.0 for iOS, an update to its professional landscaping app that lets users take and alter photos of areas they want to landscape, creating their imagined design before beginning the work. The newest update to the iScape application features a redesigned user interface and Pen-Tool, easy access to texture images, and more changes that make its use straightforward and simple. The app is compatible as well with Retina display and the iPhone 5.

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina - Home Revivals today is pleased to announce iScape 2.0 for iOS, an update to its professional landscaping app that lets users take and alter photos of areas they want to landscape, creating their imagined design before beginning the work. The newest update to the iScape application features a redesigned user interface and Pen-Tool, easy access to texture images, and more changes that make its use straightforward and simple. The app is compatible as well with Retina display and the iPhone 5.

Feature Highlights:
* Straightforward, elegant layout and interface
* iScape database featuring flowers, trees, walkways, patios, and more
* Work in layers for easy image alteration, flipping, and arrangement
* Redesigned "Textures" Pen-Tool
* Restructured Texture feature
* Improved image database
* Image Editor toolbox
* Pinch scaling gesture
* Download all or favorites in Database for offline access
* Retina display and iPhone 5 support
* Save and share design via Camera Roll, Print, Email, or Facebook
* Optional Holiday Image Packs

iScape 2.0's simplified layout allows users to work on their landscapes effortlessly. A picture can be shot using the device's camera, or landscapers can use an image from the app's built-in library. The picture then becomes the background layer of the screen. The tasteful menu at the bottom of the screen allows users to visit the Database, Textures, and Clear or Share their design.

As landscapers work on their designs, new layers are added with each added element. They can then double tap the screen to view a top menu with layer options. Here, users can lock, unlock, delete or duplicate layers, as well as rearrange the order of layers and flip them to create mirror images.

The image database offers users a great variety of trees, shrubs, flowers, grass, succulents, planters, water features, and hardscapes that can be added to their projects. Each category offers extensive options for natural images that can be added to the landscape seamlessly for realistic planning.

The latest version of iScape features a completely restructured Database, one that lets users tap their chosen category and image with ease. Once a new image is added with a simple double tap, the user can drag it with a finger touch, or resize it using the pinch scaling method. Users can also download all categories, or just download select favorites, ahead of time so that they may be used offline on the app in the future.

The Texture images are now available as a bottom scroll bar. When tapped, the users can choose from over 30 different textures to add to their landscape. The new Pen-Tool lets users select a certain area where a new texture will be added. The Textures Pen-Tool draws with dotted lines for smooth and easy viewing and application. Within each selected area, textures can be adjusted and moved with easy touch controls.

Its intuitive controls make iScape 2.0 easy-to-use for everyone, from the home gardener to the professional, highlighting the creative side of landscape design for an overall enjoyable experience.

Once created, users can save and share their landscape via the Share button on the menu. Here they have the option to save the image to album, print, email, or share it through Facebook.

"iScape's latest update offers just what users want for straightforward landscape planning," commented Patrick Pozzuto of Home Revivals. "The app is ideal for professional landscapers as well as the everyday homeowner."

Picture Perfect Challenge 1.2 Free for iOS: Competitive Photography Game - Published on 12/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Long Life Apps today announces Picture Perfect Challenge 1.2 free for iOS, an update to its app that challenges players to take a photo or choose an existing photo from their camera roll, which matches a given word or theme. Players then vote for the best photo submitted in each category to be awarded "Picture Perfect" photo of the round. Themes are released 5 per hour, and players have 1 hour to find, edit (if they wish) and submit their picture(s) for the theme(s) they would like to play.

Cold Spring, Kentucky - Long Life Apps today is pleased to announce Picture Perfect Challenge 1.2 free for iOS, an update to its app that challenges players to take a photo or choose an existing photo from their camera roll, which matches a given word or theme. For example, photo themes have included: Innocence, A Mother's Love, Loyalty, Nature's Majesty, and Geometries. Players then vote for the best photo submitted in each category to be awarded "Picture Perfect" photo of the round. Themes are released 5 per hour, and players have 1 hour to find, edit (if they wish) and submit their picture(s) for the theme(s) they would like to play. The second hour of the 2-hour round is for online voting, and those who submit a photo are required to vote, though they cannot vote for their own entry.

A new and exciting competitive photography game, which puts participants both behind the camera and in the judge's seat, Picture Perfect Challenge is an innovative photo-sharing app, designed to stretch the creative boundaries of photographers. In addition to single and multiple word themes, the game includes ABC123 themes. Here, the goal is to find items that begin with each of the letters given. For example, given "NRD," players can take a photo that contains a nut, a radio, and a dog. Often the funniest and most creative of the entries, these themes provide almost unlimited latitude.

Once players submit their photos, their submissions are hung in the Virtual Gallery among 12 random players' entries. At the top of the hour, players receive a notification that it is time to vote on all the photos submitted in the previous hour. Players will see a list of the themes that they need to vote in. Every vote a picture receives is worth 1 point. The winning picture in each theme receives double points. Players keep collecting points to move up the ranks and to receive special badges that tell other players how many points they have received.

Feature Highlights:
* 5 brand new themes released every single hour
* Play against other random users or create your own group to compete with friends
* Share your photos with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter
* Push notification alerts for new themes, voting times, and results
* Leave comments, suggestions, and feedback for other players' photos

Players can invite others to join a group, and they can belong to as many groups as they like. Groups can be based on photographic expertise, age, location, friends, or any other criteria. Though most participants will enter photos taken on their iDevice, entries may be shot on a DSLR or other camera. The ideal motivational tool for photographers, artists, and creatives, Picture Perfect Challenge provides players with a wonderful opportunity to take pictures and judge pictures, and expand their appreciation of the photographic image.

According to Michael Schweitzer of Long Life Apps, "Picture Perfect Challenge is a new concept that takes our passion for mobile picture taking or 'iPhonography' and adds a dash of user creativity and a dose of healthy competition, to create this fun, entertaining and challenging game!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 7.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Picture Perfect Challenge 1.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Review copies are available on request.
