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.

Praise
* "ZEZ has been given the utmost attention and dedication in it's creation." 148Apps.com
* "The most frantic minute of matching I've played in ages." Kotaku
* "I had a fever dream once with the same premise, but it wasn't nearly as much fun." Cult of Mac

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 56.4 MB

Pricing and Availability
ZEZ 2.0 on sale for $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
