Droppyship brings the Flappy Bird craze to 3D - Published on 02/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tapnik today introduces Droppyship 1.0, the newest game in the nascent "endless flapper" genre for iPhone, iPod and iPad devices. Droppyship takes the brutally difficult and often addictive gameplay found in the surprise hit "Flappy Bird" and translates it into 3D. Instead of a pixelated bird, the player pilots a sleek spaceship through an unending series of gates. The game features 3D graphics and realtime lighting, using the advanced capabilities provided by shaders on modern mobile hardware.

Berkeley, California - Droppyship, the newest game in the nascent "endless flapper" genre, was released today for iPhone, iPod and iPad. Developed by Tapnik, Droppyship takes the brutally difficult and often addictive gameplay found in the surprise hit "Flappy Bird" and translates it into 3D. Instead of a pixelated bird, the player pilots a sleek spaceship through an unending series of gates.

"It handles sort of like a paper airplane," describes one early playtester, "It glides smoothly for a bit but then drops straight down."

Reactions are mixed as to whether the 3D gameplay and the swooping motion of the ship make the game easier, or harder, than the original Flappy Bird. The developer, Joel Davis, explains, "I find this a little easier than Flappy Bird. So far, I've gotten about ten gates further in Droppyship. Maybe I've played it too much, but then again, I played a lot of Flappy Bird." Other playtesters disagree. "This is definitely harder," reports one early reviewer, "You crash right away. It's brutal."

Regardless of difficulty, Droppyship undeniably raises the bar graphically from the original pixelated flyer. It features 3D graphics and realtime lighting, using the advanced capabilities provided by shaders on modern mobile hardware.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Droppyship 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

App studio Qrayon today announced that over 57,000 copies of Resume Star have been downloaded in the past 4 weeks. The App was hand picked for the "Grow Your Career" Apple Editorial, and has earned a solid 5-Star user rating, with over 549 unique ratings since its launch only 15 weeks ago, making Resume Star the clear favorite Resume Designer App in the iOS App Store. This is a validation that the Honor-Ware system works.

Seattle, Washington - App studio Qrayon today announced that over 57,000 copies of Resume Star have been downloaded in the past 4 weeks.

Only after you get an interview are you asked to pay for Resume Star, using the secure in-app purchase and at your own discretion.

This works like the classic shareware model, where the developers put their trust completely in their users. In an age where top charts are increasingly filled with Apps that use exploitative and anti-user business models, this is a refreshing change.

Resume Star's popularity also shows that more people than ever are applying for jobs using their phones and tablets.

Full Featured App:
Resume Star packs all the features you would expect and need to create a precision targeted and professionally typeset resume, including the ability to:

* Create cross-platform compatible PDF resumes
* Create a targeted cover letter for each company, properly addressed
* Create unlimited resumes, one for each company if you want
* Email resumes directly
* Print in-App right from your iPad or iPhone/iPod touch
* Use pre-defined sections or create custom ones
* Rearrange sections to suit your needs
* Automatically spell check to help avoid typos
* Optional fine adjustments to text and margin sizes to fit the page
* Show live previews on the iPad

Resume Star also includes 10 professionally drafted examples to provide a starting point, or inspiration.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Resume Star 1.6 is available in the App Store worldwide in the Productivity category. It is free to download and completely unrestricted to use. You can create and send as many resumes as you need.

Artboard 1.9 Released: Text Styles, Performance Boost and OS X Mavericks - Published on 02/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, Mapdiva releases the latest version of their app, Artboard 1.9. Artboard is a full-featured graphics design app for creating vector drawings and illustrations. The headline feature for Artboard 1.9 is the addition of text styles. Below the surface, the developers have provided massive performance improvements, especially when working with large files. Artboard 1.9 provides better full screen support, is optimized to work with OS X Mavericks, and adopts a modern flatter appearance.

Indianapolis, Indiana - Today, Mapdiva has released the latest version of their app, Artboard 1.9. Artboard is a full-featured graphics design app for creating vector drawings and illustrations. Design logos, posters, floor plans, technical drawings, fun fashions, web graphics, and more. Unlike pixel-based images, vector graphics are composed of editable objects that are infinitely scalable.

The headline feature for Artboard 1.9 is the addition of text styles. While text could always have style properties, now those text styles can be saved to the library for future use, shared, and applied to multiple text objects at the same time. Like all graphic styles, Artboard's style dropper tool can now pick up styles from text objects and apply them to other text objects. This feature makes Artboard's already flexible text tools even more powerful.

Artboard features some of the most advanced "smart objects" available in a drawing app. All drawing objects have simple, direct controls to modify shapes and paths directly with a single select tool. This helps keep the users focus where it belongs - on their drawing. It also means less switching between tools - everything is at your fingertips.

Artboard is known for its expert "stacked" styles. These are time-saving, powerful combinations of style effects for your drawing objects, such as pattern brushes, gradients, tapered strokes, patterns, hatch fills, and Core Image Effects. Artboard 1.9 adds the ability to transform any style effect through its new "transform" style group settings. The many style effects can be layered together and used in unlimited combinations for spectacular effects. To get you started, Artboard delivers with over 1700 editable vector clip art and styles, plus a library to store your own.

Below the surface, for version 1.9, the developers have provided massive performance improvements, especially when working with large files. This includes improved performance when reading files - up to 60x to 100x faster than previous versions. Artboard 1.9 provides better full screen support and is optimized to work with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Some of the more subtle interface updates include the adoption of a modern flatter appearance for several UI elements, such as toolbar buttons, section headers and the title header for the layers sidebar. A new, friendlier in-app and online User Guide adds the finishing touches to this polished update.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.6 or later
* 64-bit native
* 74.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Artboard 1.9 is $29.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Graphics & Design category. It is a free update for current users of the app. A free trial is available from Mapdiva online.
