IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Calgary based Kallaxa Software today introduces WiFinder 1.0, a versatile GPS-enabled network scanning and mapping tool for Mac OS X. WiFinder allows anyone to locate open networks, or improve home network performance, with ease. This new app will GPS map WiFi signals relative to the user's position, graph signal strength over time, and provide a detailed overview of networks within range. It will automatically update the location of networks if it finds there is a better signal elsewhere.

Calgary, Canada - Kallaxa Software today is proud to announce the immediate availability of WiFinder 1.0, a versatile GPS-enabled network scanning and mapping tool for Mac OS X. WiFinder allows anyone to locate open networks, or improve home network performance, with ease. This new app will GPS map WiFi signals relative to the user's position, graph signal strength over time, and provide a detailed overview of networks within range.

Finding a free WiFi network while on vacation can be a nightmare, and WiFinder is the app that answers the call for serenity while travelling. Using advanced GPS technology, the app scans and places all networks on a map. While walking or driving, it will automatically update the location of networks if it finds there is a better signal elsewhere. Later, view the map for a comprehensive display of both open and closed networks! Avoid costly roaming data fees by easily accessing public hot spots. Share the results with friends, or save them for return trips.

WiFinder is also crucial for all users with a home-based WiFi network. Graph network performance and interference over time, providing for insight into reasons for network degradation (perhaps when certain appliances are in use). Or, use it to locate the best spot for a household or office router. View surrounding networks to find a channel that is calm or unused in densely populated areas.

Pricing and Availability:
WiFinder 1.0 is available for a free 15 day trial. For a limited time, users can buy the app at introductory pricing for only $9 (USD). For more information, visit Kallaxa online.

Stolen Couch brings in Euro 250,000 to launch Animal Crossing-like games - Published on 09/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stolen Couch Games announced today the procurement of a Euro 250,000 in funding from private investors. The company has hired additional staff over the last months and invested heavily in the development of their own free-to-play framework. The first game to use this framework is Castaway Paradise for iOS where players can instant vacation on their own tropical island. Players can download the Castaway Paradise app starting October 9th.

Hilversum, Netherlands - Stolen Couch Games, the studio behind the upcoming Animal Crossing-like game Castaway Paradise for all mobile platforms, announced today the procurement of a Euro 250,000 in funding from private investors.

The company has hired additional staff over the last months and invested heavily in the development of their own free-to-play framework. The first game to use this framework is Castaway Paradise, an Animal Crossing-like game for iOS. Players can download the Castaway Paradise app starting October 9th from the website.

"This investment has helped us develop a game like none other available on the app stores. Castaway Paradise has proven itself during soft launch and will be released worldwide in October 2014," said Eric Diepeveen, CEO of Stolen Couch Games. "The free-to-play framework, which we worked on for almost 3 years, will allow us to create 3D cross-platform life simulator games in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take us. One in seven Nintendo 3DS owners has bought Animal Crossing for $40. We are bringing a similar experience, but free of charge to iOS & Android. The potential for our games is incredible and we are confident that we will become a top tier developer within the next two years."

Stolen Couch Games has chosen to invest heavily in subscription-based monetization for their upcoming games. "By utilizing subscriptions in addition to dual currency economies our games will have superior ARPPUs," said Selma Oors, CEO of Stolen Couch Games.

About Castaway Paradise:
Instant vacation on your own tropical island! Decorate the island, play dress up, collect bugs, grow crops and help your new neighbors. On Castaway Paradise you can do whatever you like. Enjoy outstanding 3D graphics, fun quests & characters and great gameplay. You can spend your days doing fun activities such as catching bugs and fishing. Try to make a bigger catch than your friends and make your museum collections complete! This is your island, your adventure. More info at the website. Castaway Paradise launches October 9th for iOS.

When Stolen Couch Games started out, we wanted to create great accessible mobile games. Since then we have released three games. Kids vs Goblins got great reviews and Ichi was downloaded over 700.000 times. However, we wanted Stolen Couch Games to become more than just another independent developer. We had to change our ways in order to compete with the best. We thought hard, consulted experts, prototyped a lot and finally we figured out what we had to do. We are going to create the next generation of multi-platform casual games! All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2014 Stolen Couch Games. All Rights Reserved.
