SketchDock Transforms iPhone into Graphics Tablet, Multi-touch Trackpad - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HEX3 Limited has launched a new Kickstarter campaign set to transform your iDevice into a multitouch trackpad, graphics tablet, media control, numberpad and allows drawing to Photoshop on your Mac. SketchDock is an easy to use and affordable solution that gives you the tools previously available only on high-end digitizing tablets. It makes it easy to turn your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a digitizing tablet that enables you make sketches and notes directly on your Mac or PC in real time.

Hong Kong - HEX3 Limited has launched a new Kickstarter campaign set to transform your iPhone, iPad or iPod into a multitouch trackpad, graphics tablet, media control, numberpad and allows drawing to Photoshop on your Mac. SketchDock makes it easy to turn your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a digitizing tablet that enables you make sketches and notes directly on your Mac or PC in real time.

Artists have been using digitizing tablets to draw on computer screens for some time. But the high cost of these tablets has made them too expensive for many potential users. HEX3 has recently developed an innovative product to overcome this problem. SketchDock is an easy to use and affordable solution that gives you the tools previously available only on high-end digitizing tablets, so you can now draw direct from SketchDock to the screen of your computer in Photoshop or any other app that has pen input.

SketchDock is the brainchild of Jon Atherton, founder of HEX3, who launched the world's first pressure sensitive stylus (called JaJa) on Kickstarter in 2011. This innovation inspired Jon to take the next step.

"One of my ideas at the time was to enable people to draw on an iPhone or iPad screen and have their sketches appear on the computer screen in real time with pressure sensitivity," Jon says. "I recognized that digitizing tablets were fairly expensive - but most people were already carrying the technology they needed in their purse or pocket."

Using the JaJa Stylus, SketchDock delivers 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. Together with app partner Mobile Mouse, it also delivers full multi-touch, including scroll and pitch to zoom, just like the touch pad of a MacBook. In addition it turns your iPhone or iPod into a number pad and signature pad, and provides a music and media controller.

The SketchDock is beautifully crafted from precision aluminum and is available in silver, black and a limited edition Kickstarter edition with green highlights on either the silver or black models. Other notable features include the ability to charge iPhones 4 or 5 during use, volume up and down buttons, an eject button that enables one-handed phone eject, the ability to accept 30-pin cables and a design that fits most cases.

After using Kickstarter to develop several products that have achieved success and critical acclaim, Jon is excited about the company's latest product. "SketchDock is not like any other dock. It does a lot more than just charge your iPhone," he says. "It greatly enhances the functionality of your phone or iPad and eliminates the need for a digitizing tablet or track pad."

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving App Will Leave Your Senses Craving More - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Loud Crow Interactive Inc. today unveils their latest Peanuts digital story app to a whole new generation of fans. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving blurs the line between an animated storytelling experience and an interactive handheld toy. This book features dozens of responsive graphics and tactile elements designed to appeal & engage a child's natural sense of wonder and curiosity. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is the fourth Peanuts television special to be given an interactive spin from Loud Crow.

Vancouver, Canada - Everyone's favorite animated Thanksgiving classic has been reimagined for modern audiences thanks to a new digital story app developed by Loud Crow Interactive. Available for purchase today exclusively in the Apple iTunes App Store, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is the fourth Peanuts television special to be given an interactive spin from Loud Crow, an award-winning children's interactive publisher based in Vancouver, BC.

Released in honor of the animated special's 40th anniversary, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving blurs the line between an animated storytelling experience and an interactive handheld toy. Poignant yet playful, today's release features dozens of responsive graphics and tactile elements designed to appeal and engage a child's natural sense of wonder and curiosity.

"The original A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving animated special is yet another timeless classic," explains Calvin Wang, Founder and CEO of Loud Crow Interactive. "And we're absolutely delighted to be able to celebrate the 40th anniversary with this fun and engaging interactive app." The app is also a great way for parents to teach their children about the true meaning of the holiday. "While creating a playful experience was important, so too was portraying the moral of this holiday story."

"As we continue to build our digital footprint for Peanuts, creating innovative and beautiful apps from Loud Crow, is a logical strategy, particularly for a classic that everyone has grown to know and love," said Leigh Anne Brodsky, Managing Director of Peanuts Worldwide. "The Thanksgiving app marks the fourth in our partnership with Loud Crow, and it's perfectly timed to the 40th anniversary of the popular holiday special."

Each scene in the digital story version of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was meticulously redrawn in order to perfectly capture Schulz's hallmark charm. Featuring an all-new "living illustration" art style (care of Loud Crow's leading art director Talent Pun), A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving combines old school illustrations with cutting-edge digital imagery.

"Stylistically, a physical representation of a book - with page curls, texture and borders - made a lot of sense for a story as nostalgic and heart-warming as A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," explains Pun. "But don't be fooled - beneath that old school look is an impressive amount of engineering and design savvy."

Optimized for iPhone 5 and iOS 7, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving boasts:
* Dialogue, music and sound effects from the original 1973 animated special
* Touch, tilt and slide responsive elements on every spread
* A leaf collecting feature and child-friendly instructional elements
* Enhanced type and improved swipe tabs for enriched readability across devices
* Narration by Stephen Shea, the voice of Linus van Pelt
* Educational features, including three reading modes, word highlighting and touch-to-speak technology
* A gated "Parents Area" that separates adult controls from child-friendly content

Triangle Draw 2.0 announced: Major update of popular drawing app for iOS - Published on 11/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Opcoders today announces the up and coming release of Triangle Draw 2.0, an important update to their popular drawing app for iOS. Triangle Draw lets designers create logos, shapes and patterns. You get a black canvas where you draw with white triangles. Although the concept behind the app may seem simple, the room for creation is extensive and vast. Version 2.0 promises many new improvements. Triangle Draw 2.0 will be available in the App Store on November 11th.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Opcoders today is thrilled to announce the up and coming release of Triangle Draw 2.0, an important update to their popular drawing app for iOS. Triangle Draw lets designers create logos, shapes and patterns. You get a black canvas where you draw with white triangles. Although the concept behind the app may seem simple, the room for creation is extensive and vast. The style is monochrome, minimalistic and retro looking.

Unlike other drawing apps that offers colors where lots of time is wasted on switching between colors. Triangle Draw switches instantly, because there are only black and white, there is no time consuming step where you have to pick the right color. This makes a short feedback cycle, which is important for the user experience, allowing for many quick design iterations.

One of the significant changes is that the canvas area has been extended from 20x13 cells to more than 100x100 cells. The visible area can be zoomed and panned with a two finger pinch gesture. This allows users to create more detailed drawings. Also the canvas shape has changed from being rectangular to now being hexagonal. "The crazy thing about this New hexagonal canvas is that it can be rotated by 60 degrees. I have never seen this done before.", says the lead developer.

There are several other New features including the addition of PDF export, undo/redo as well as international language support. The app is designed for iOS7.

Promised Features:
* Easy to draw logos/patterns/shapes
* Keeps track of all your drawings
* Export to PNG
* [New] Export to PDF
* [New] Export to raw text file
* [New] Bigger canvas
* [New] Retina graphics
* [New] Universal app, was originally only iPad, now available for iPad iPhone
* [New] Languages: Chinese, Danish, English, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish
* [New] Undo/redo
* [New] Drawings can be renamed
* [New] Share drawings between devices using iCloud
* [New] Share drawings on social media

Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone and iPod touch
* iOS 7.0 or later
* 3.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Triangle Draw 2.0 will be available for Free on the Apple App Store on November 11th. The Free version has a limit of 3 drawings and adds a watermark to the exported PDFs. These limitations can be removed by making an in-app-purchase of the Pro-version for $1.

A Zombie Musical Combines Arcade-Style Action With A Musical Memory Game - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LionApps announces A Zombie Musical 1.1 for iOS, a unique game that evokes classic fast-paced arcade-style action while challenging the player to remember sequences of colors and/or musical tones to complete levels of increasing complexity and speed. Catch the coffins in your portable crematorium, and the dead are sent to a peaceful ever-after. But if you miss, the coffin's residents are turned into raging zombies. The game contains original soundtracks, delightful animation and fun gameplay.

San Diego, California - LionApps is pleased to announce the release of A Zombie Musical 1.1 for iOS, a unique game that evokes classic fast-paced arcade-style action while challenging the player to remember sequences of colors and/or musical tones to complete levels of increasing complexity and speed. The game contains original soundtracks, delightful animation and fun, challenging game play.

Murdock Smythe has created an un-deadly concoction that - when mixed with a spooky melody that he creates, can bring the dead back to life! You can stop him if you can remember the melody he creates as he splashes falling coffins with his potion. Catch the coffins in your portable crematorium, and the dead are sent to a peaceful ever-after, but if you miss, the coffin's residents are turned into raging zombies! If you miss 3 coffins, the zombies will destroy your porta-torium and the game is over, but if you can catch enough coffins to finish a round, Murdock will make it more challenging by dropping more coffins at a faster pace!

A Zombie Musical has two play modes - Real Time Play and Memory Mode:
Real Time Play requires you to pay attention to the caskets that Murdock Smythe selects as they appear at the top of the mausoleum wall so you can catch those caskets when they reach the bottom of the wall. The rows of caskets continue to drop until you catch all the caskets of his tune or you miss three and the resulting zombies destroy the porta-torium! If you catch all the caskets of a tune, Murdock increases the speed and length of the next tune. Using the helper tools that appear as posters on the wall, try to make it all the way to the Boss Stages where Murdock unleashes new challenges!

Memory Mode lets you watch Murdock select several caskets before dropping them. You must remember the caskets that he selects and then catch them. If you catch them all without missing more than 2, Murdock plays the same tune, but adds a casket at the end. This continues as long as you can catch all the caskets of his ever-growing tune. How many caskets in a row can you remember?

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 39.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
A Zombie Musical 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Movavi Video Converter for Mac goes ultrafast, adds more format support - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Movavi unveils the latest version of Movavi Video Converter for Macintosh. Open virtually any video or audio file and convert them to the format or device of your choice. The software has been completely reworked and now offers a new, faster transcoding engine, an extended list of supported formats, SuperSpeed non-reencoding format conversion with zero quality loss, a new interface, and a host of other features. The new conversion engine speeds processing by up to 8000%.

Novosibirsk, Russian Federation - Movavi, a leading publisher of multimedia software, unveils the latest version of Movavi Video Converter for Macintosh. Movavi Video Converter for Mac version 4.0 is now 3 - 4 times faster than the previous version for most format combinations. For certain parameters, the software will demonstrate a speed increase of up to 81x. Internal tests show that a 30 minute, 2.29 GB AVI (H.264) video file with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels can be converted to MP4 in just 4 minutes and 35 seconds; the equivalent software products from Xilisoft, Roxio, and Cyberlink take a minimum of 1 hour and 23 minutes to convert the same files.

Extended Multimedia Format Support:
The new input formats supported include SWF, ASF, WebM, OGV, RM, and WTV. New to the list of output formats are MKV, OGV, WebM, MOV, MPEG-TS, 3G2 (3GPP2), and SWF. With this update, Movavi's Mac OS X converter enables users to manage all popular formats like MP4, AVI, FLV, MKV, and MPEG, as well as take full advantage of Flash (SWF) animation and web-compatible formats. The complete list of supported formats can be found on Movavi's website.

SuperSpeed Conversion: Fast Format Change and Editing:
The accelerated SuperSpeed conversion process supports extremely fast conversion speeds, even for large high definition videos, with zero loss of quality. Thanks to this new technology, Movavi Video Converter can convert video formats encoded with H.264, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 codecs at the same speed as simple data copying, as no re-encoding is required. While the feature is only available for a specific list of input-output format combinations (listed on Movavi's website), the Movavi solution supports AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MPG, MP4, and M2TS plus a number of mobile device presets like iPad and iPhone, providing more options than competing products. When using SuperSpeed conversion, the original file and the selected output format will have the same resolution, bitrate, size, and codec, so the original quality remains the same.

Additionally, SuperSpeed conversion is compatible with the software's video splitting and trimming. To quickly extract a particular scene or shorten a movie, all the user needs to do is select the piece to be removed using the handy timeline left and right border markers and then choose a preset with the SuperSpeed logo.

Conversion for Mobile Devices:
Movavi Video Converter for Mac adds new ready-made conversion presets for mobile devices, making it even easier for users to transcode their videos with optimized auto settings for specific models. The list of presets includes all Apple device models (iPod, iPhone 5C/5S, iPad Air, iPad Mini, etc.), Amazon Kindle Fire, Android tablets and smartphones, Nokia Lumia, Samsung Galaxy, Motorola, Google Nexus lines, and other popular brands.

Smart Predefined Presets:
The reworked automatic conversion presets have been designed to preserve the highest possible quality in the output video. All parameters except for codecs remain unchanged or are automatically optimized by the program. Advanced users can also change video parameters manually in the Settings dialogue window, which is now more user-friendly and uses the same layout for all formats.

The new Smart fit frame adjustment ensures that the original aspect ratio is retained, so the output video won't be stretched or distorted. The Up to size option prevents videos from being converted to a higher resolution than the original, which would lead to a lower quality output video when encoding for mobile device presets.

New User Interface:
The new Movavi Video Converter for Mac features a completely redesigned user interface that conveniently displays all file information. With the upcoming upgrade of Movavi's Video Converter for Windows, the two products will look alike and will support almost the same functionality. Users have the opportunity to rename output files and detach the preview window to display it on a second monitor.

Other notable features in the new software include:
* Automatic Deinterlacing is applied to all conversions (except in the SuperSpeed mode) to smooth interlaced (RAW) camera footage
* Rotate (the output video can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise)
* Output video size prediction appears before users start processing
* Output video preview is shown before the conversion starts to make sure there are no unwanted black bars in the video
*' Add to iTunes' synchronization for Apple presets exports output files to the user's iTunes video library as soon as the conversion is complete
* Support for multi-channel sound in PCM and Vorbis codecs
* Ability to choose subtitles which you want to save in the output video

Pricing and Availability:
The free 7-day trial version of Movavi Video Converter for Mac 4 can be downloaded from the product's official page, and a full license can be purchased on the Movavi website for $39.95 (USD). It will also be available through the Mac App Store soon.

Race to the End in Octagon, A Minimal Arcade Game With Maximum Challenge - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lukas Korba is announcing the release of Octagon, a fast-paced and highly challenging arcade game for iOS devices. In Octagon, you are trapped inside a megaplex of 8-sided tunnels, platforms, and gaps. The floor moves rapidly beneath you as bursts of color explode against the white background. Can you survive the run? Spin the tunnel to dodge speed bumps. Flip upside down to avoid holes. And whatever you do, don't stop. Don't think. You have just 60 seconds to reach the exit.

Prague, Czech Republic - Octagon is a new minimal arcade game in the style of Super Hexagon and Boson X that evolves this emerging genre with fluid controls, trippy graphics, and a frantic pace. Designed for players looking for quick, intense bursts of action, Octagon may look simple, but with unlimited levels and no in-app purchases it packs a ton of value for its low $1.99 (USD) price. Procedurally-generated levels and randomized graphics make Octagon feel different with each run, while a thudding electronica soundtrack by UK based producer Sqeepo keeps the adrenaline pumping level after level.

"My ultimate idea for Octagon was to provide pure challenge without anything else getting in the way. Visually, I was inspired by Apple's iOS 7 design - minimalist, yet with millions of colors," explains Korba. "I both love the game and hate it for its difficulty. Playing it is like playing the arcade games I loved on my Atari as a kid."

Features:
* Unlimited number of randomly generated levels
* Dynamic procedural graphics with a minimalistic iOS 7 look
* Original soundtrack by Sqeepo
* Universal App with iCloud syncing across platforms
* Game Controller support
* Game Center Leaderboards and top players visible in the game
* Pure challenge with no in-app purchases or cheats

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 12.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Octagon 1.0.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
