For the Term of His Natural Life Launches eBook app on iPad in U.S. - Published on 05/03/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Patricia Payne announces For The Term of His Natural Life 1.1, an interactive story app for the iPad. Based on the book by Marcus Clarke, this groundbreaking interactive eBook features a 300-page condensed version of the novel interspersed with segments of the highly-acclaimed international TV mini-series. The reader's experience of this classic tale is enriched by over 40 interactive footnotes, 19 video notes, bios, and over 100 photos, maps, bonus, and historical documents.

Sydney, Australia - Patricia Payne, Producer of the mini-series For The Term of His Natural Life, announces the international release of an interactive story app for the iPad, to be launched this week. Based on the book by Marcus Clarke, this groundbreaking interactive eBook app features a 300-page condensed version of the novel interspersed with segments of the highly-acclaimed international T.V. mini-series, presenting a seamless and gripping story-telling experience. The app bridges the gap between three forms of media: film, literature, and mobile devices.

"This novel has lasted over 130 years of publication and never been out of print" says the app's creator, Patricia Payne, who also co-wrote the original mini-series based on Clarke's novel. "The app platform provides a terrific opportunity to present this timeless tale for the tablet audience today. The user gets a truly engrossing experience interacting with the variety of multimedia forms."

About the App:
In addition to introducing Clarke's novel in a condensed 300-page version for the international iPad audience, this release marks the advent of a new fusion: eBooks and mobile apps. The reader's experience of this classic tale is enriched by over 40 interactive footnotes, 19 video notes, bios, and over 100 photos, maps, bonus, and historical documents. Progressing the story and weaving throughout the text are 18 video clips from the popular Australian mini-series, For the Term of His Natural Life, as well as clips from the original 1927 silent film based on the book.

It is different from other book apps because "All Content" should be explored in linear experience as you enjoy the story. You are not supposed to skip the stories and assets as they are meant to fill the gaps in the book. Most ebooks just have extra content, versus our app makes everything a part of the story.

Additional Functionality:
* Easy book navigation with the ability to swipe, spread and pinch
* App tutorial, bookmarks, audio effects under text to create an immersive environment
* Icons for text notes, video notes, images and maps appear subtly at foot of page
* Dashboard presents image gallery, maps, individually controlled video notes, text notes, sound effects
* Settings include brightness, volume, fonts, and font size for easy reading

About the Story and Mini-series:
For the Term of His Natural Life is the riveting adventure of Rufus Dawes who is falsely accused of murder in 19th century London. He is transported as a convict to the harsh penal settlement of Port Arthur in Tasmania, Australia. Despite his sentence, Rufus Dawes's quest for freedom never dies.

Marcus Clarke's classic tale of Australia's convict past has been compared to such literary greats as Les Miserables and The Count of Monte Cristo, and has elements of Robinson Crusoe and Mutiny on the Bounty. But the book also acts as an historical document due to Clarke's masterful and authentic references to the convict system.

The novel was adapted as a mini-series and has enjoyed international distribution since 1983. The series stars Anthony Perkins (most known for his performance in the Alfred Hitchcock film, Psycho), Patrick Macnee (most known as secret agent Steed for the long-running popular British series The Avengers), Samantha Eggar (most known for her performance in The Collector) and Colin Friels (recipient of numerous acting awards for film, TV, and stage, and most recently the Peter Finch Lifetime Achievement Award). It also stars Diane Cilento, Rod Mullinar, Robert Coleby, Susan Lyons, and features Glynn Nicholas, Damon Herriman, and a remarkable array of who's who of fine Australian actors.)

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.90 GB

Pricing and Availability:
For The Term of His Natural Life 1.1 is $13.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. For more information on sample app and trailer, visit the company's website.

Marvel Apps LLC, one of the Largest App Developers in the State of Michigan according to Detroit Crain's Business, is introducing Missile Barrage, a retro revival of the classic Missile Command video game of the 1980's. It challenges players to protect six cities from an endless hail of inbound ballistic missiles. Missile Barrage is available for the Apple Mac, Amazon Kindle, Google Android devices and soon to be for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Royal Oak, Michigan - Marvel Apps LLC, one of the Largest App Developers in the State of Michigan according to Detroit Crain's Business, is introducing Missile Barrage, a retro revival of the classic Missile Command(R) video game of the 1980's. It challenges players to protect six cities from an endless hail of inbound ballistic missiles. Missile Barrage is available for the Apple Mac, Amazon Kindle, Google Android devices and soon to be for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

The premise of the game is simple: the player must protect six cities from an ever increasing swarm of ballistic missiles. Defending your cities earns you coins to redeem inside the Upgrade Lab, which is available for purchase for 99 cents. The Upgrade Lab offers the user the ability to buff their cities. Missile Barrage captures the original iconic DNA of the 1980's phenomenon, and adds compelling new dimensions and attitude all in 3D.

When asked how Missile Barrage was created, President at Marvel Apps LLC, Michael Antaran said, "we use the best mobile development Game Engine out there, Unity 3D. With Unity, we can create great games quickly and easily across multiple platforms with one build." With that said, "I challenged my team to take a week and make anything they wanted. As an incentive, the game's creators have actual ownership in its success."

In a short 10 days, Missile Barrage was conceived, developed, and now released. Missile Barrage is free to play, and is available on the Apple Mac App Store, Kindle App Store, Google Play Store and soon to be on the Apple App Store.

"Not bad for a small independent mobile software development team in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan." says Antaran.

Missile Barrage boasts thrilling new gameplay such as:
* Unlimited Waves - play with increasing challenge as you progress
* Unique Increasing Difficulty - difficulty scales based on how long you defend your cities
* Power-ups - all new power upgrades help players increase blast radius, missile speed, restock cities, missile supply and more
Bosses
* Enemies - take on massive waves of enemy missiles, aircrafts and bosses with varying speeds, health, behavior and characteristics
* City Abilities - use your coins to rearrange and change city abilities
* Save Play Progress - use your coins to save progress and begin on later waves as a passive buff

Spinlight Studio is pulling out the big guns this weekend, pricing every app in its extensive education collection at $.99 each. New hits, classics, best sellers - everything's included, making this the first time that parents can pick up major hits like Operation Math and Geography Drive USA for less than a dollar. The Spinlight End-of-School Mega Sale includes nearly a dozen Top-100 titles from the award-winning studio and is scheduled to run now through Mother's Day, May 12th.

Champaign, Illinois - Spinlight Studio announced today that it's putting its entire collection of award-winning educational apps on sale for $.99 each! The End-of-School Mega Sale features all of the company's heaviest hitters, including AlphaTots, Operation Math and Geography Drive USA - the first Spinlight title to win both a Gold Parents' Choice Award and an Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review.

The sale marks the first time that the award-winning developer has sold all of its titles at the same low price point, and it could mark a major shift in the way the company prices its titles - depending on what happens in the coming weeks. "For now, it's just an experiment," says Matt Hutton, the company's CEO and co-founder. "If we see the volume, we'd love to sell our titles at that price every day. But ultimately that's something the public has to decide. For now, it's just an insane opportunity to pick up some amazing apps at a ridiculous price."

The Spinlight End-of-School Mega Sale is scheduled to run from now through Mother's Day, May 12th. Spinlight also supports Apple's Volume Purchase Program, which means participating schools can enjoy another 50% off the low sale price. "We want to see our apps in as many schools as we can," says Hutton. "So if you know any teachers, feel free to pass the word along."
