Cut the Rope is so 2011 - It's time to Draw the Line

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Cut the Rope is so 2011 - It's time to Draw the Line - Published on 05/03/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lilypad Games is excited to announce the immediate availability of their debut game: Draw the Line, available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Draw the Line is a physics-based puzzle game similar in feel and quality to hit games like Cut the Rope. The gameplay of Draw the Line involves the user drawing short, colorful lines using unique types of paint to guide, bounce, zoom, and even portal a rubber-band ball to the main character Milton.

Hamilton, New Zealand - Lilypad Games is excited to announce the immediate availability of their debut game: Draw the Line, available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Draw the Line is a physics-based puzzle game similar in feel and quality to hit games like Cut the Rope. The gameplay of Draw the Line involves the user drawing short, colorful lines using unique types of paint to guide, bounce, zoom, and even portal a rubber-band ball to the main character Milton.

Draw the Line begins with a short cutscene attempting to inspire emotion in the player; providing a conscious incentive to help Milton. The story is set in a fictitious library where characters come alive. Milton, a geeky but lovable book worm is preparing to propose to his girlfriend when she is kidnapped by evil fireflies and taken to a pop-up book castle high on a book shelf. Milton, unable to fly gets to work and designs a catapult made from pencils and rubber-bands, but he needs help from the player to deliver his supplies.

Each level is set on top of a themed pad of paper with fireflies, pencils, and various office stationary items carefully laid out. The player must analyze the level and figure out where to draw their lines to deliver the ball to Milton, attempting to capture each of the fireflies on the way. When ready, the player opens the crate and watches as gravity takes hold and the rubber-band ball rolls and bounces its way to Milton.

Draw the Line uses the familiar and successful 3-star model from other great games on the App Store combined with their own special touch. By providing more than enough lines needed to pass the level, but only providing 3 stars when the least number of lines has been used, the game can be enjoyed by everyone. Younger children and more casual gamers can use all the paint they need to simply pass the level. However people looking for a challenge can aim for the 3 star solution by collection all of the fireflies with minimal paint.

Key Features:
Draw the Line provides 75 unique and challenging levels across 3 chapters, with more chapters planned for development. Exclusive and original music was composed and scored by US-based up-and-coming musician P.SUS, and the artwork was created by talented artist and friend of the company, Maxine Scoble.

Early Reception:
"There's nothing more satisfying as a game developer than when someone tells you they love your game, and we've had exceptional feedback from people so far." says Jeremy Bell, co-creator of the game. "From self-proclaimed game addicts to older generations who say they've never used an 'iTouch' in their life, everyone seems to find something to love about Draw the Line". "We've even been approached by Los Angeles based start-up 'Moonshark' as a potential partner developer for future games, and considering who they are and that they're looking to pair 'the best independent game developers' with some of Hollywood's biggest names, we're very happy with the opportunity!"

Device Requirements
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* 15.3 MB (iPhone, iPod)
* 38.8 MB (iPad) - Full support for retina iPad
* iOS 4.2 and above

Pricing and Availability
Draw the Line 1.0 is available worldwide exclusively in the App Store in the games category on iPhone and iPod touch for US $0.99, and in HD on the iPad for US $1.99. Free versions providing introductory levels are also available.

Color adjustments can be exchanged with subsequent production steps as 3D LUT, ASC-CDL or Alexa Look files.

LiveGrade has been tested and evaluated in series, commercial and feature film productions worldwide in a three month beta testing phase and was recently presented to the public at NAB 2012. The newly released software Pomfort LiveGrade allows camera operators, camera assistants or DITs to work with the director and DOP to interactively create camera looks directly on the set. Included in LiveGrade is also the newly developed Cube-O-Scope which is a unique, interactive visualization model for the resulting 3D LUT.

"In the feedback for our other camera-related software products we saw the need for a professional tool for interactive manipulation of Alexa looks," says Patrick Renner, Product Designer at Pomfort. "So we took existing color processing technology from our Silverstack software and integrated Blackmagic Design's HDLink devices."

Dan Kanes is a Local 600 DIT from Los Angeles, and has been beta testing LiveGrade. Dan commented, "On many recent national commercial spots, including a high end Beauty Spot for Garnier cosmetics, Pomfort LiveGrade in conjunction with my BlackMagic HDLink has helped me tremendously create dailies level LUTs that made both the director of photography and the client extremely happy because it saved valuable time in the color correction suite and gave greater confidence to everyone on set in being able to achieve desired results from the image."

LiveGrade scenario on the film set:
The camera HD-SDI signal is transmitted through Blackmagic Design's HDLink. LiveGrade takes control of this device via USB and can adjust the live image via appropriate color controls including lift, gamma, gain, saturation and so on. For greater accuracy , LiveGrade's current version supports the panel controller "Avid Artist Color" and the "Tangent Wave" - the "Tangent Element" will follow shortly. LiveGrade offers import and export functionality for Alexa Looks and for the widely utilized CDL and 3D LUT workflows which are used in a variety of cameras such as Sony, Canon or RED. LiveGrade is a comprehensive solution for creating, changing and managing looks directly on the set. For using calibration profiles for computer monitors with the HDLink devices, LiveGrade supports ICC profiles being loaded for color-managed display of camera signals.

Cube-O-Scope:
The Cube-O-Scope is a unique visualization model developed by Pomfort for the resulting 3D LUTs. A colored cube illustrates in a clear and easy way how to interact with the color controls in LiveGrade, providing an additional test and control option when creating looks.

System requirements:
* Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.6 or higher

Pricing and Availability:
Pomfort LiveGrade is currently available at $479 / 379 EUR (or the equivalent amount in other currencies) from the Pomfort website.

Version 1.2 introduces HeyZap, adds Career Score and High Score Game Center Leaderboards, support for new iPad, small bug fixes, improved stability and more.

The items are randomly scattered throughout the maze and you have to make sure you avoid Buster the bulldog." The game doesn't end though when or if Buster catches you. Curto explains, "But, you will have to start over and get all your favorite things again. Along the way, you can pick up fish treats that can later be converted to coins if you win."

Santi Takes Meditation Apps To A New Plane - Published on 05/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Khth today released Santi 1.0 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. This app sets itself apart from other meditation aids by offering more options and generating binaural beats in real time, instead of using the same, pre-recorded tones over and over. Santi 1.0 lets users choose the length of their session, and automatically modulates the differential of the tones' frequencies throughout the session.

San Jose, Costa Rica - Announcing that khth, the developer of Santi, has released the latest update for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Santi 1.0 sets itself apart from other meditation aids by offering more options and generating binaural beats in real time, instead of using the same, pre-recorded tones over and over. Santi 1.0 lets users choose the length of their session, and automatically modulates the differential of the tones' frequencies throughout the session.

Santi 1.0 Features Include:
* Deep Meditation is the standard meditation program
* Quick Rest helps refresh and energize users
* Progressive Meditation guides the user into deeper and deeper meditative states
* Timer lets users choose the duration of their session
* Binaural tones generated in real time, not pre-recorded

Santi 1.0 generates binaural beats in real time, which gives this app the ability to continuously change the frequency throughout the duration of each meditation session. The user simply chooses from the 3 available programs, sets the timer, and lets the app guide them into progressively deeper states of meditation.

The Deep Meditation feature is similar to other apps, but only on the surface. The changing tone frequencies ensure that users are guided into deeper and deeper meditative states for the chosen duration of their session. Regular use of this feature can leave users feeling a sense of calm and instill deep relaxation and a tranquil mind.

The Quick Rest program takes users into deep meditation, then, at the end of the session, returns them to their day fully energized and ready to go. This can be done in as little as 10 or 15 minutes, which makes this feature a ideal way to end a lunch break and come back feeling great.

The Progressive Meditation feature helps users relax at bedtime, get more restful sleep, and reduce stress in their lives. When used just before bedtime, users are guided into progressively deeper states of meditation and relaxation as they drift off for the night. As with the other programs in this app, the ever changing binaural beats ensure the users feels the full benefit of their meditatipon.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch 3rd and 4th Generation and iPad

GameHack winner pledges to keep developing multi-screen iPhone/iPad

GameHack winner pledges to keep developing multi-screen iPhone/iPad app - Published on 05/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lightwood Games announced they will continue development of "Plasma Party," their award-winning entry from the UK's first GameHack event. Plasma Party extends a simple "lights out" game concept, using multiple iOS devices to spread the gameplay onto several screens. Up to 16 devices can be combined into one playing surface. The two-person team won prizes for "Most Innovative Idea" and "Best Use of Mobile" at the hackathon, which challenged entrants to create an original game in just 24 hours.

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - Lightwood Games have announced that the award-winning entry they created at the UK's first GameHack event will continue to be developed. The two-person team won prizes for "Most Innovative Idea" and "Best Use of Mobile" at the hackathon, held at Pinewood Studios on April 28th-29th. GameHack challenged participants to design and develop an original game in just 24 hours.

Lightwood's submission, "Plasma Party," extends a simple "lights out" game concept in a unique way, using multiple iOS devices connected via Bluetooth to spread the playing area onto several screens. Up to 16 iPhones, iPads and iPod touches can be laid out in any combination to form a sprawling multi-touch playing surface.

Two to four players then compete to be the first to touch all the lights in their own assigned color. Gameplay is a real-world social experience, which often involves intertwining limbs and digits with nearby opponents as you battle to reach lights in the far corners.

The app will be released as "Plasma Party" and a version has now been submitted to Apple for review. "We were absolutely stunned by the number of 'wow' comments our app provoked at GameHack", said Lightwood's Chris Newman. "I'm truly flattered to have our effort recognised not only by the judges but also by fellow developers, many of whom spoke to us to insist that we must release this game. It felt like we'd have an angry mob on the doorstep if we didn't carry on developing it!".

The first release of the app will be functionally identical to the version shown at GameHack, minus a few bugs that slipped through due to the competition's time constraint. The Lightwood Games team are already working on an update to the game, which will include new game modes as well as the ability to use connected devices as a large, customisable, scrolling message board.

They're also looking beyond this game. "We have quite a few ideas that can be implemented in a similar way to Plasma Party", said Newman. "We are also talking to other developers about the possibility of creating an SDK using this technique so that anyone can produce their own multi-screen games using our code."

GameHack was organised by TIGA, the trade association representing the UK games industry, and BlueVia, the global developer platform from Telefonica. For winning "Best Use of Mobile", Lightwood received a 500 electronics voucher courtesy of BlueVia. The "Most Innovative Idea" award was sponsored by TechHub, with the prize being a year's membership to their community in London.

Overnight Buses, a travel publication for the digital age, launches - Published on 05/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Overnight Buses, a free digital-only travel magazine for the iPad, launches with the aim to bring travel publications to the digital age. The quarterly publication fuses technology and design to share multimedia stories from a community of authors. Images are full of life and transport the readers from their sofa to the location where the story takes place. The first issue features essays by award-winning writers Michael Shapiro, Marcia DeSanctis, Nathan Comp & best-selling author Ayun Halliday.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Overnight Buses, a free digital-only travel magazine for the iPad, launches with the aim to bring travel publications to the digital age. The new quarterly publication fuses technology and design to share multimedia stories from a community of authors. The first issue features essays by award-winning writers Michael Shapiro, Marcia DeSanctis, Nathan Comp and best-selling author Ayun Halliday.

"The iPad allows authors to push the boundaries of storytelling and bring stories to life. It has changed how we, as readers, consume and engage with content," Jennifer Kuhn, co-founder of Overnight Buses, said. "It is the perfect opportunity to rethink travel publications and experiment with a new model for an industry that is constantly proclaimed dead or dying," she added.

A major difference between Overnight Buses and established travel publications is the focus on long-form adventure essays that allow readers to experience the story and get a sense of the place, the people and the writer, not just a glimpse. The design offers dimension and realism to help the readers feel like they are experiencing the story first hand. Images are full of life and transport the readers from their sofa to the location where the story takes place.

"We believe a travel magazine should be honest, fulfilling and inspiring. No fluff, no cheap filler, no halfhearted hotel reviews or paid promotion stories, just great storytelling," Thomas Tegart, the other co-founder of Overnight Buses, said.

"Publishing and finding fulfilling stories in a time when content is free and everyone is a publisher is a challenge for authors, readers and brands," Kuhn said. "But we think of it as an opportunity. An opportunity for writers to experiment with experiential storytelling and get paid for it. An opportunity for brands to support a project that is relevant to their consumers. An opportunity for readers to enjoy great stories and get inspired," she added.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 42.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Overnight Buses Travel Magazine 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Travel category. The editorial team is accepting submissions for future issues of the magazine. Interested contributors should contact them online.

Futuristic Weather App Cage Match - RainAware Prevails, Beats Human

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Futuristic Weather App Cage Match - RainAware Prevails, Beats Human - Published on 05/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RainAware LLC today announced that a study confirms that RainAware Weather not only works, but leads the pack & rivals a human forecaster in predicting rain times. The study was performed by Bill Stein, weather blogger for The Minnesota Forecaster, & was carried out on May 1 as thunderstorms bore down on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Not only was RainAware the clear winner, but it actually performed better than the human forecaster for nearly two hours leading up to the onset of precipitation.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - A recent independent study concluded that "RainAware reigns supreme" among a new breed of weather apps that predict short-term precipitation times. The study was performed by Bill Stein, weather blogger for The Minnesota Forecaster, and was carried out on May 1 as thunderstorms bore down on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Stein consulted each app at regular intervals until rain began and ended. The apps tested were RainAware, Ourcast and Dark Sky.

"RainAware was the most accurate in determining both the beginning and ending times of the rain," wrote Stein. "We also think the app's features are generally the best of the apps tested."

Not only was RainAware the clear winner, but it actually performed better than the human forecaster for nearly two hours leading up to the onset of precipitation. For the complete study, visit the Minnesota Forecaster online.

"We were pleased with the results of Stein's test but know that no weather prediction system is perfect," said the developers. "Still, our goal is to make the app as close to perfect as possible. We are actively working to make it more reliable every day."

Among the problems common to all radar-derived systems are ground clutter and virga. Ground clutter is noise in the radar data caused by objects other than precipitation, while virga is precipitation aloft that does not reach the ground. RainAware employs robust methods to reduce both, which in turn reduce false alarm. "While not perfect, it's clear to us that RainAware is the superior app when it comes to distinguishing real rain from radar noise," wrote Stein, who has been testing these apps for months.

The makers of RainAware also stress the importance of user feedback in making the system better. "Each location has unique challenges," they said. "We work hard to get it right, and make changes to computer code on the spot as we receive information from users. Everyone knows the weather is unpredictable," said the developers. "RainAware is redefining what that means."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 7.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
RainAware Weather 1.0.1 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Weather category.
