Creating a Connected World, for Gamers - Published on 09/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hanoi based Appota Corporation today announces the official launch of onClan 1.3.0, the first social media networking app that gives gamers all the tools they need to connect globally. onClan builds upon both the Game Center concept and the model of social networking. With a single, central place to interact, gamers can use text, voice and video chat, as well as record images and video of their gaming experience to share with friends and user groups.

Hanoi, Viet Nam - Appota Corporation today is proud to announce the official launch of onClan, the first social media networking app that gives gamers all the tools they need to connect globally. onClan builds upon both the Game Center concept and the model of social networking. With a single, central place to interact, gamers can use text, voice and video chat, as well as record images and video of their gaming experience to share with friends and user groups.

* Instantly message and share video or images while within any game or the app
* Instant auto-translate within chat feature connects gamers of all nationalities
* Retain friendships, independent of current social networks, regardless of what games you chose to play

No longer is there a need to use real-identity social networks to access games, nor does one have to create multiple user accounts across multiple platforms. The capability of messaging in-game or just within the app creates endless possibilities to share information, meet new people and retain friendships regardless of what one is playing. For gamers, both frequent and casual, the ability to interact with games in a much more profound manner means a better end-user experience, as well as numerous benefits to developers as well.

Why onClan is groundbreaking:
It's a situation many of us can relate to. We have played a game for a few months up to a year. Eventually we lose interest in it and decide to quit. However, all the relationships we have forged with fellow guild or clan-mates is now gone. No longer - irrespective of what one plays, those you meet and want to befriend can stay in your onClan social circles. The same Guild you had in Clash of Clans can now form in any game. The transfer of information and capacity to reach a group of in-game friends has never been easier. onClan nurtures the social aspect of being in a collective, creating groups of users with common interests - regardless of whether they are friends on current social networks or not. A genuine gaming community is now at our fingertips.

Although the idea of creating a connected world is as old as the Internet itself, with onClan and its powerful SDK, the cliche carries a lot of weight. Specifically, in the application's chat features, language is automatically translated based on a phone's ISP. With language no longer a barrier, gamers can truly link up with other gamers, everywhere.

Delve Deeper into Your Game:
Combining like-minded gamers into groups not only means greater interaction, but also facilitates the sale and purchase of in-game items. Developers too will have access to end-users, and be able to communicate much more effectively to answer questions, solve problems and disseminate information, promotions and rewards.

The platform will use the opportunity to maximize user engagement and consequently a consumers' lifetime value will increase. onClan can scan a device for all existing games and applications. Tracking a users' online footprint and understanding gaming habits and paying behaviors is beneficial in steering them towards appropriate game groups.

The casual gamer can discover new content based on their gaming history and what their friends play. Hardcore gamers will use the space as a way to read and showcase tips, tricks, information and accomplishments. Developers will have direct communication channels opened for them to their client-base and be able to precisely target users who are willing to pay for in-game content.

With everything and everyone under the same umbrella, Appota understands that there is a need for timely and effective service. As such, there is a customer care team for each group: gamers and developers.

Revenue model and Who We Are:
Revenues will come from game publishing (revenue sharing with developers who publish their games on the platform), revenue sharing through content distribution and advertising (all advertising and promotion activities that are carried out for the developer).

Although still a new company, Appota (which means Application Over the Air) has risen to become Vietnam's number-one mobile content distribution platform. It allows developers and game publishers to effectively distribute their content to the largest smartphone communities in South-East Asia (where Vietnam currently accounts for 13 million users).

The company has partnered with over 10,000 developers and advertisers worldwide, including NHN, Kakao, Line, Metaps, InMobi, VNG, VTC Online and FPT Online. Appota brings highly localized content to end-users and runs highly engaged communities in popular social media outlets.

Core products include:
* onClan, the first social mobile gaming platform that puts a laser focus on increasing gamer engagement
* Gamehub - the first mobile game portal providing video and editorial reviews and gift-codes for popular games
* Appdaily - an affiliate tool that helps boost user acquisition through in-store pre-installation of games and apps. Investment in several leading Vietnamese game studios including Joy Entertainment enables the platform to cater to some of the best mobile games used worldwide.

Appota continues to innovate, fostered in part from the numerous international awards it has won, including "The Most Disruptive 2012" and "The Best in Asia 2013," granted by The Founder Institute. Appota was sole representative from Vietnam in the 4th Global Entrepreneurship Summit in 2013 and most recently, the 3rd Prize and Global Brain Award at Startup Asia Arena in Tokyo on the 4th of September.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 21.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
onClan 1.3.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

MultiTouch Book for the iPad Breaks the Space-Time Continuum - Published on 09/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stephan J Harper's IN HIS IMAGE, a MultiTouch book for the iPad, is responsible for accidentally breaking the space-time continuum and suggests an intriguing possibility that might lead scientists to a better understanding of our universe. In this illustrated 'biblical' tale set in the not-too-distant future, the story depicts three characters, the Creator of the universe and two of His angels. A massive object, located 1.75 light years from Earth may be a 'rip' in the fabric of space itself.

Los Gatos, California - A MultiTouch book for the iPad (IN HIS IMAGE by Stephan J Harper) is responsible for accidentally breaking the space-time continuum and suggests an intriguing possibility that might lead scientists to a better understanding of our universe: a massive object, located 1.75 light years from Earth, perhaps made entirely of dark energy, may be a 'rip' in the fabric of space itself. The distant object also appears to be monitoring activity here on Earth.

The description of IN HIS IMAGE on the title's iBooks Store page states: "It's 'Jonathan Swift meets Richard Dawkins' in this illustrated 'biblical' tale set in the not-too-distant future." The story depicts three characters, the Creator of the universe and two of His angels, discussing the fate of Earth. High-resolution images from the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes illustrate this picture book for older readers. "To the memory of Galileo, Newton and Einstein" reads the title's dedication page, providing the only link to the events of August 31st.

"The whole thing started six days ago," said Peggy Harper, wife of the author for the past 33 years. "Text messages related to the book started appearing on his monitor in the morning and continued throughout the day. By midnight, there were over 100 comments...and then nothing."

IN HIS IMAGE was published and uploaded to Apple's iBooks Store on November 30, 2012. In 21 months, the digital-stream would have travelled 1.75 light years, or just over 10 trillion miles, to reach the distant object receiving Earth's data transmissions.

According to Ms. Harper, the messages were outside any run-time program installed on the author's iMac. Turning off the computer had no effect and the messages continued. Following are some of the text messages received on August 31, 2014:

* "We find IN HIS IMAGE inconsistent with our understanding of Creation." - JEDP Pentateuch Select Editorial Committee.

* "The book is, of course, complete blasphemy. I agree with every word in it." - Mark Twain

* "I wish I had written this!" - Aesop

* "I didn't understand a word in it. Is it allegory?" - Plato

* "Unfortunately, the Truth, which the author ably states without ambiguity, is undermined by the simple-minded contention that his finely-detailed color drawings are to be taken for reality. It strains our credulity and mars an otherwise useful little volume." - St. Augustine

* "Logically flawless." - Aristotle

* "The astronomical observations are of special comfort to me; but the author must know that heresy always comes with a price." - Galileo

* "Yet another Jesuit education wasted." - Ignatius of Loyola

* "Although we find IN HIS IMAGE consistent with biblical teaching and Papal instruction, the author should be burnt at the stake, your Eminence." - Tomas de Torquemada, Grand Inquisitor

* "The author, in his tactful way, has explained many things; I pray that he makes few enemies." - Isaac Newton

* "A most charming diversion. The author is a fine moralist - and a blockhead for only charging a buck." - Samuel Johnson

* "I warned them nothing good could come from a free press. However, Marie and the little ones were captivated by the fanciful illustrations and are busy adapting the story for une petite presentation at the Palace Gala Jubilee one week hence. I am to play the lead role. Marie is so good with the children, the model of motherhood for a nation that adores her so." - Louis XVI

* "I am flattered that one of the angels is named after me." - Benjamin Franklin

* "This is precisely what I've been saying!" - Thomas Hobbes

* "The story is consistent with my deepest held convictions about mankind's place in the universe." - Charles Darwin

* "The omission of any reference to Kolub, an astral body of supreme significance in the Cosmos, disqualifies this book and its author from any serious consideration." - Joseph Smith.

* "Religion poisons everything." - Christopher Hitchens

* "The author has captured in his story a sense of my own frustration with the one remaining difficulty in all my work, an answer so elusive I fear it will never be fully understood. Gravity's a bitch." - Albert Einstein

* "Repent!" - John the Baptist

* "Save yourself!" - Jacob Marley

"It's all very mysterious and a bit unnerving," continued Peggy, who is letting the scientists figure it out while she takes care of her husband. "He needs rest. In all these years, I've never seen Stephan without anything to say. I love him dearly and am determined to get him back to work again."

Pricing and Availability:
IN HIS IMAGE 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Contemporary category. IN HIS IMAGE is the first in a religious-themed trilogy. The second MultiTouch title, INSULT TO EVE, will be published in early 2015 followed by ADAM'S REVENGE, again for the iPad and in time for Christmas 2015. Promo codes are available to members of the press to download IN HIS IMAGE from Apple's iBooks Store.

Stephan J Harper was born in Baltimore and has been writing stories and poems for many years. Stephan is the creator of Basil Baker, a literate site for bear lovers, on the Web since 1998. He is the author of two hardcover children's picture books, ONE CHRISTMAS STORY (2003) and THE BLACK SHEEP (2005). Mr. Harper is also the author of two MultiTouch books for the iPad, IN HIS IMAGE (2012) a picture book for older readers and the teddybear-noir novel, VENICE UNDER GLASS (2014). Stephan J Harper is also the leading proponent of the emergent genre of literature known as MultiTouch Fiction made possible with Apple's iBooks Author and the iPad. MultiTouch Fiction integrates multimedia content within the storyline and structure of a novel, novella or short story for the purpose of giving the reader a more expansive experience of the fictional world the author has imagined.
