Persuasive Games’s Jetset Takes Flight on the iPhone — First Game Designed Specifically for Road Warriors Makes World Debut
Persuasive Games’s Jetset Takes Flight on the iPhone — First Game Designed Specifically for Road Warriors Makes World Debut
The first of it kind, Jetset is an iPhone/iPod Touch mobile game designed for business travelers and available now in the iTunes App Store.
Atlanta, Ga. (PRWEB) March 3, 2009 — Persuasive Games (http://www.persuasivegames.com), a leading developer of videogames for public policy, education, and marketing, today announced the release of its latest video game, Jetset: a Game for Airports, for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
Jetset is a game for the frazzled globetrotter in all of us. The first of its kind, it is a mobile game designed for business travelers.
In the game, players take control of a security agent who must find and confiscate contraband. Can you keep up with the changing rules of airport security? It’s a game that’s just as fun as waiting in line — and one you can play in line as well!
Even better, when you play in one of the 100 world airports included in the game (from Albuquerque to Waco), you can win custom-made, collectible, digital souvenirs from each one, to keep or to give away. No longer will you be guilted into buying an overpriced gift for friends and family you leave behind, now you can gift items of sentimental value collected through your real travel plans. Or if you’re more of the hoarding type, you can trade in your souvenirs for exclusive Jetset travel accessories.
Key features of Jetset for iPhone and iPod Touch include:
• Play 100 different airports from around the world and earn unique location-based souvenirs;
• Strip search travelers for fun;
• Confiscate dangerous travel items like pressurized cheese — all inspired by real events in airport security;
• The game automatically selects the airport you are in or near based on available location services
• Collect and play with souvenirs in your personal, interactive snowglobe, or share them with friends on Facebook
• Facebook gifts you give can be downloaded by your friends into the iPhone/iPod Touch Snowglobe App (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=JEWXYIQoh6Y&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZStore.woa%2Fwa%2FviewSoftware%3Fid%3D293047205%26mt%3D8%26partnerId%3D30) (available separately)
• Unlock silver, gold, and platinum souvenirs based on your performance — just like your favorite airline loyalty program;
• Are you a real jet setter? Redeem collections of souvenirs from different airports for exclusive Jetset travel trophies in our Jetset Rewards Promotioni
• Highscore lists: local, global, and by airport
“Jetset adds a small measure of satirical pleasure into the chore that is business travel. But more than just filling time, it may also make players think twice about the trials, benefits, and rewards of modern travel,” says Dr. Ian Bogost, founding partner and lead game designer.
To coincide with the game’s release, Persuasive Games also is announcing a Jetset Rewards Promotion, giving frequent business travelers rewards for playing Jetset and acquiring souvenirs. Jetset Rewards allows players to trade in their unique souvenirs for prizes, including:
• Jetset luggage tags, personalized with your name and address
• iHome Clock Radio Dock for iPhone or iPod
• Bose Headphones
• Tumi Luggage Set
“Like most business travelers, I’m constantly trying to maximize my airline and hotel rewards programs. Jetset gives real road warriors a chance to cash in on their inconvenience: our Jetset Rewards Promotion allows them to trade in their points and souvenirs for actual prizes,” says Gerard LaFond, founding partner of Persuasive Games.
Jetset is available now for the special discounted price of $3.99 and can be purchased at the iTunes App Store (http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewSoftware%253Fid%253D295409660%2526mt%253D8%2526partnerId%253D30%2526partnerId%253D30%2526siteID%253DJEWXYIQoh6Y-0ueh7HlB_HqHDSypjJF7Eg) or at http://www.persuasivegames.com/jetset.

Image Line Software Releases Its Virtual Synthesizer ‘ Sawer ‘
Image Line Software Releases Its Virtual Synthesizer ‘ Sawer ‘
Image Line Software, the developer of FL Studio, has released Sawer, its latest software synthesizer plugin. Sawer is a powerful vintage modeling synthesizer that cuts through the mix with precise articulation and a punchy sound. Available at a reduced price until the end of March, 2009.
Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium (PRWEB) March 3, 2009 — Image Line Software, the developer of FL Studio, has released Sawer, its latest software synthesizer plugin. Sawer is a powerful vintage modeling synthesizer that cuts through the mix with precise articulation and a punchy sound.
Sawer’s filters have been modeled on the rare 1980s ‘Soviet era’ analog synthesizer, Polivoks. Meticulous attention has been paid to Sawer’s filter and envelope design, ensuring a unique sonic character, reminiscent of the Polivoks hardware.
Just as the random variability of electrical components makes analog hardware unique, Sawer’s oscillator design has also been touched by the magic of chance:
“While programming the SAW oscillator, I accidentally set some incorrect variables and immediately the sound gained bass, acquired some light but pleasing noise on the attack and an overall richer sonic spectra. Immediately I realized this was no mistake but a discovery and built on this sound, adding some frequency modulation to give it a touch of analog authenticity and so Sawer was born” explains Maxx Claster, Sawer’s chief developer at Image Line Software.
As modulation is critical for achieving authentic analog sounds, Sawer has flexible modulation routing. An Envelope and LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) source can be used to control a large number of destination controls. Further, the MIDI Modulation Matrix provides the ability to route MIDI controllers to most targets in Sawer.
Finally, Sawer includes Chorus, Phaser, Delay and Reverb effects for an overall impressive and polished sound.
Key features of Sawer:
• Main oscillator for subtractive synthesis: SAW shape with Sync frequency.
• Sub oscillator (-2 to +2 octaves) with level, phase & detune controls.
• 1 NOISE Oscillator.
• Variable polyphony (1 to 24 voices).
• 8 voice UNISON with user-adjustable stereo panning, detune and ‘Octaver’.
• SYNC & RING frequency modulation.
• 2 ADSR envelope generators (one user-assignable to modulation parameters).
• 4 FILTER modes – low pass (24 & 12 dB/Oct), band pass and high pass.
• Chorus, Phaser, Delay & Reverb effects.
• Muti-mode Arpeggiator.
Price and Availability:
Sawer is available in FL Studio and VSTi formats for Windows and Mac, as well as a Standalone and Audiounit version. Sawer is available for the introductory price of US $79 until the end of March. After this period, the regular price of Sawer will be US $99.
System requirements:
Operating System: Windows XP, Vista/ Mac
Processor: Minimum 2GHz AMD or Intel Pentium III compatible with full SSE support or G4 PowerPC (Mac) with full Altivec support
RAM: 512 MB
Hard disk space: 130 MB
More information about Sawer, including audio demos, screenshots and a downloadable free trial version are available at Sawer’s Web Site (http://www.image-line.com/documents/sawer.html).
About Image Line Software:
Established in 1994, Image Line Software (http://www.image-line.com) provides high quality music applications to the computer-based music community and is well known for its leading digital audio workstation FL Studio (formerly FruityLoops), high quality synthesizers including Sytrus, PoiZone,Toxic Biohazard, Morphine and Ogun, a mix of innovative Effect plugins like Maximus, Hardcore and GrossBeat and range of sample libraries used in their multi-sampler plugins DirectWave and Soundfont Player.

Freshman / Father Team Unveil Cell Phone Industry’s First Game Rendered in OpenGL 3D
Freshman / Father Team Unveil Cell Phone Industry’s First Game Rendered in OpenGL 3D
Jared Schrock, a high school freshman, and his father today announced the release of Metron3D, a galactic asteroid fighter game available for all Google android cell phones. Metron3D is the first cell phone application to render all animated elements using Google’s android implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics API. 3D elements (e.g. Metron3D galactic starship, 3D asteroids, powerup effects, etc.) are combined with 2D background images derived from the NASA Hubble space telescope. This combination results in eye-appealing stellar game play for players challenging the galactic superhighway.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 2, 2009 — Jared Schrock, a high school freshman, and his father today announced the release of Metron3D, a galactic asteroid fighter game available for all Google android cell phones. Metron3D is the first cell phone application to render all game play elements using Google’s android implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics API. 3D elements (e.g. Metron3D galactic starship, 3D asteroids, powerup effects, etc.) are combined with 2D background images derived from the NASA Hubble space telescope. This combination results in eye-appealing stellar game play for players challenging the galactic superhighway.
The game was released today for $2.99 and is available for purchase on all Google android phones. A free trial version with the game play for the first three levels was also made available. Game players can learn more at http://www.metron3d.com which was named by justHost.com as one of the Top 10 new websites in February, 2009.
The Metron3D game player visits spectacular star nebula throughout the galaxies with the goal of clearing asteroid belts and creating a galactic superhighway. Six visually stunning and increasingly challenging missions offer demanding game play for all player levels. Players collect an impressive arsenal of Multi-Strike Phasers, Disruptor Missiles, Quantum Bombs, and Ship Shields to exterminate their adversaries. Invincible Shields are available for players who simply want to destroy the most asteroids possible and have the most fun doing it.
The game is so challenging that KArtists, Inc. has issued a game player challenge: the first game player to complete all six missions and score below 2,500 points will receive a $250 mission reward.
Rendering game play elements using the OpenGL 3D graphics API represents more of a technical challenge than a visual breakthrough for cell phone games. Even the most advanced cell phones today offer the graphics and computing capability of mid-1980’s era PCs. Jared and his father took on the challenge to render all animated game play in 3D to demonstrate that it could be achieved and to encourage cell phone designers to accelerate their graphics implementations on future phones, much as the PC industry did over time.
Metron3D was the result of a unique collaborative design effort. Jared Schrock, who aspires to develop games as his profession, served as the core game play designer and Java programmer. Rod Schrock, Jared’s father, served as lead programmer porting the application to the Google android operating system. Both Jared and Rod received development expertise from the non-profit Wintriss Technical Schools Inc. of San Diego, California. Jared and his father learned Java programming at Wintriss Technical Schools. Four months ago they formed KArtists Inc. and began efforts to launch Metron3D, their first cell phone application. Graphic design consulting was provided by Johnston Creative Solutions of Escondido, California.
