Reassess Your Life with Life Inventory App - 1/3 OFF During Pandemic

Reassess Your Life with Life Inventory App - 1/3 OFF During Pandemic - Published on 04/13/20
Indie developer, James Hollender has released Life Inventory 5.0 and is available during the pandemic at 1/3 off to assist those who now have ample time available to gain in-depth perceptions of themselves. Built-in instructions guide users, step-by-step, in creating a Life Inventory to provide greater self-understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses, leading to a better knowledge of themselves than they ever thought possible. Long-standing price of $11.99 is now reduced to $7.99.
Revere, Massachusetts - James Hollender has released Life Inventory 5.0 and is available during the pandemic at 1/3 off to assist those who now have ample time available to gain in-depth perceptions of themselves. Built-in instructions guide users, step-by-step, in creating a Life Inventory to provide greater self-understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses, leading to a better knowledge of themselves than they ever thought possible. Long-standing price of $11.99 is now reduced to $7.99 during this difficult time for everyone around the world. A Life Inventory can also function as a Moral Inventory for those in 12-step programs, which is even more important because of the current social distancing requirements.
Version 5.0 is an update that makes the code more compatible with the processors of later iPhones. Another upgrade is planned which will allow full screen use for all the current versions of the iPhone.
The Canadian Reviewer has suggested Life Inventory may even become your always available digital therapist: "If your smartphone has become your personal trainer, assistant, and even financial advisor, why not turn it into your therapist as well? Life Inventory app for iOS is here to help you understand what makes you tick. This app helps you create your own Life Inventory or Moral Inventory to provide you with better understanding of your personality, strengths, and weaknesses to help you live a better life."
The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:
* What did I want
* Why did I want it
* What am I not admitting
* What lie did I tell myself
* What did I leave out or not say
* What lie did I tell others
* Have I ever done the same thing
* Was it any of my business
* Were my expectations reasonable
* What was the real truth
* What was I not seeing
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted
Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:
* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations
Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support from others.
The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:
* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.
Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, and determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add more if desired:
* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success
The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:
* Why did I have this fear
* When did I first notice this fear in my life
* How did I hold on to this fear
* What did this fear make me do
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life
* How did I react to this fear
* What decision did this fear cause me to make
* How did self-reliance fail me
* What should I have done instead
And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:
* How was I selfish
* Where was I dishonest
* Where was I inconsiderate
* Who was hurt in this situation
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness
* Where was I at fault
* What should I have done instead
* What will I do in the future
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her
* Did I pray for him/her
* Did I enjoy his/her company
* Did we bring each other closer to God
"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Online Game Development Student Interns Taught to Work Remotely
A new article has been published at prMac.
Online Game Development Student Interns Taught to Work Remotely - Published on 04/13/20
Magnin & Associates has been an Industry Partner with the Dallas ISD Conrad HS H-TECH collegiate game development program for the past 4 years. When their student interns' high school and nearby college classes were both cancelled due to coronavirus closings, the students were able to continue to perform their assigned duties online, leading to the publication of Extreme Bowling Challenge, and soon a second game. The Universal App supports iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Farmers Branch, Texas - When the recent coronavirus pandemic caused school closings for both the Dallas ISD and the Dallas County Community College District, a group of game development students who were working as interns for a local game developer were able to continue their internship duties online.
Magnin & Associates has been an Industry Partner with the Dallas ISD Conrad HS H-TECH collegiate game development program for the past 4 years. Ed Magnin had been meeting with students weekly at Conrad High School and the at Richland College where the seniors attend full-time. A group of students had been helping test Magnin's games. Recently as they enrolled in a college internship class, they transitioned into helping program or creating artwork for the project. Magnin also asked Professor Christopher Curra, the Program Coordinator, to help find him a few more qualified students.
Since Magnin & Associates has operated remotely since its founding back in 1993, the latest crisis was much less of an issue for them. Students were able to participate in online discussions and group chats with him and each other via Skype. They were able to benefit from screen sharing, to learn from Magnin's senior programmer Willie Johnson, Jr, and get help with adjusting the settings on their game engine and 3d software. Students have asked to participate more by observing programming meetings where bugs are fixed and new versions are made ready for release.
The students playtested Magnin & Associates Extreme Bowling Challenge which was released on March 24 for iOS, Android, Apple TV, Windows PC, and Xbox. The interns are now participating more significantly on the next project, which will remain a secret for now, but should be available before their semester ends. For more information, please contact Ed Magnin.
