Kicking The Homeless To The Desert
A new article has been published at prMac.
Kicking The Homeless To The Desert - Published on 05/22/14
Not all homeless people are addicts, or mentally insane. In fact there's a large community of homeless people just down on their luck. The solution for them is not so simple as "Go get a job", when the public won't even look them in the eye. But this is Silicon Valley, where one day you could be sleeping in your car, and the next day you're a millionaire. Simon Brooks, a British expat in Silicon Valley, is one of those people living in his car, only he has two dogs with him.
Silicon Valley, California - He's been in his car for three months now. His background includes mostly sales and marketing, with some small business ownership too. He has a big passion for word games. Due to this passion, over the years it's possible you've played him as a random opponent in Words With Friends. Currently, Simon has one educational word game on the App Store called Gadzookery, which builds vocabulary and boosts creative writing skills.
Being down on his luck, he's turned to Kickstarter to help fund his second word game, 'Zook Words', which is a reinvention of Scrabble, much like Words with Friends. Zook Words adds more levels of strategy, and limits the usefulness of those much hated cheat packs associated with Words with Friends. At its peak, Word with Friends had 80 million daily average users. Today it's around 20 million. The game didn't suddenly get old, as Scrabble has been around for over 100 years. What changed is users got tired of playing people who were very obviously cheating.
With a successful Kickstarter campaign, not only will his second game get built, but it'll get built by an experienced team willing to work with him for a small stipend. To ensure the team stays committed to building the game, Brooks plans to take them to the Mojave Desert for two weeks, so there's no escaping (he-he). The Kickstarter will not be funding him to get out of homelessness. All of the money raised is going into development. His plan is for the game to earn revenue so he can pay himself a wage to get out of being homeless.
Brooks is just one of many homeless people fighting to change their lives. When you can physically see the steps a homeless person is taking to help themselves, and in the process help fund a product that you would use yourself, it will make your generosity feel like a genuine good dead.
To see what he's up to, and show your support, head on over to Kickstarter to watch the ridiculous video of him singing a song he penned 'Hacking in the Desert' in 'Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Great Punk 'n' Words Kickstarter!'

ZEZ 2.0 - A Cat and his Rocket Fist - Reborn as premium game
A new article has been published at prMac.
ZEZ 2.0 - A Cat and his Rocket Fist - Reborn as premium game - Published on 05/22/14
Artbit Studios today announces ZEZ 2.0, an update to their popular game title developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Armed with a rocket powered metal fist, Zez must rise his way to victory in the robot arena. Line up the same colored robots, smash them and rise as high as you can until the time runs out. The update builds on the success of the launch version, adding new content and many new features. Version 2.0 also marks the switch from freemium to premium model.
Porto, Portugal - Artbit Studios today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of ZEZ 2.0, an update to their popular game title developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The update builds on the success of the launch version, adding new content and many new features. Also, after realizing the game content is much better suited for the premium model, this new version was significantly reworked to fit the premium model game instead of the previous freemium.
Smash, Rise, Crash. Every 60 second round starts with Zez punching a smug boxing robot in the head with his rocket fist. As you're propelled into the air, you must match and explode the colored robots to fly higher and higher. Match 3 to get an explosive boost. Match 4 and fill your combo bar to activate frenzy mode and enter a world of color, flashing lights and fuel powered feline rage. Once the time is up, come crashing down at supersonic speeds and deliver some well deserved robot payback.
Features:
* Fast-paced, frantic gameplay
* No artsy, minimalistic vector graphics - The game is filled with painstakingly frame by frame drawn animations
* Simple and precise controls and game mechanic
* 10 unique and detailed rockets with specific animations and sounds
* Custom soundtrack
* 4 over the top final impact animations
* Leaderboards
Game History:
Pedro and Jose (Zez) have been working on this game for close to 2 years now. Version 1 of the game was well received, but is was still far from the experience they wanted to create. For version 2, released on 21 May 2014, they completely reworked the gameplay to better reward skilled players and introduced new features to give the game a true sense of progression. The result is a simpler yet much more addictive game, with more randomness, more reward and, above all, more fun. Also, they realized the game style was much better suited for a premium model rather than freemium. So the price was bumped to $2.99, the coin packs removed and item prices adjusted accordingly.

Device Requirements:

For version 2, released on 21 May 2014, they completely reworked the gameplay to better reward skilled players and introduced new features to give the game a true sense of progression. The result is a simpler yet much more addictive game, with more randomness, more reward and, above all, more fun. Also, they realized the game style was much better suited for a premium model rather than freemium. So the price was bumped to $2.99, the coin packs removed and item prices adjusted accordingly.

JaVu - Hear Your City Speak - Now Free on the App Store
A new article has been published at prMac.
JaVu - Hear Your City Speak - Now Free on the App Store - Published on 05/22/14
Florida based mobile app developer, David Richard, today introduces JaVu 1.0, his new social networking app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Effortlessly discover what friends and locals have revealed about your city. JaVu will automatically notify you when you pass an area your friend, or someone you are following, has posted in. Subscribing to tags is another powerful feature. Subscribe to the #free tag and never miss another freebie. JaVu is the future of social networking.
Ormond Beach, Florida - Self-taught, 22 year old, mobile app developer David Richard launched JaVu on Tuesday May 20th. JaVu, a new location-aware social network, harnesses the power of geofencing, enabling the user to see social media posts related to what's happening nearby. The posts can be collated from social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter and posted by friends, locals, tourists and businesses. JaVu has a multitude of uses and features to keep the user informed:
* Browse all posts closest to you so you can discover the area around you (useful if in a new city or area when travelling).
* It will automatically alert the user upon arrival at the same location where a friend has previously posted.
* The user can subscribe to any tags to get notifications from related nearby posts (it will alert when something is free nearby if the user has subscribed to the #free tag).
* View all posts from Instagram and Twitter created closest to your current location (to see what others have done / are doing in that location).
* Browse all the businesses around you and see all posts from Instagram and Twitter created at that business (useful for reviews, special offers, events).
Developer, David Richard, began tinkering with the idea of JaVu nearly 2 years ago. "I have been constructing the idea in my head for two years, even before I started programming. When Apple released their Reminders app, I wondered how they accomplished reminding people based on their location. That's when I discovered geofencing. I thought it would be incredible for your phone to automatically alert you of location-based social media," David says.
JaVu works by users creating a geofence around their current location. Their followers receive image or text notifications when they enter the geofence. JaVu is capable of finding out connections with a high degree of accuracy while still being battery-safe by using a combination of Wi-Fi positioning, cell tower triangulation, and GPS.
JaVu has endless possibilities for its potential use: finding restaurant reviews, promotion of entertainment events, product listing for a business, augmented reality, location based games, event implementation, real estate, and an incredible upcoming feature for restaurants.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 12.9 MB
Pricing and Availability:
