Not that long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, we released an update to Pharos IV: Assault!
This 1.1 updates unleashes computer assisted torpedo targeting for greater accuracy, resumption from highest level attained - no more starting over from level 1 - and fixed the stutter issue that affected iPhone 3.0 users.
Update is for both iPhone/iPod Touch and Pharos IV: Assault and Pharos IV: Assault Lite versions.
This latest update for Comic Touch (1.2.2) (direct link to App Store) addresses several issues that popped up with the release of the latest iPhone 3.0 update.
The update fixes UI display, photo rotation issues when going into landcape mode, and image effects display issues.
Please update from within iTunes or using your iPhone/iPod Touch device.
A Comic Life for Mac 1.5 update has officially been made available for download.
This latest free update has several exciting new features including the eagerly awaited easy-to-make Single Panel comic creations, ability to import other Comic Life documents, and the option of having referenced images to speed up open and save time.
Plus a bunch of other features and improvements. The full release notes can be viewed here.
As always, this update is also for the Deluxe version.
Please update from within Comic Life or from our downloads page.
Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/08 17:33Hey plasq fans/customers/sock puppet aficionados,
plasq and it's members started as a Audio / Music focused crew who also happened to do Comic Life. While a quirky combination, it proved to be an incompatible mix for a small company. Not to mention as humanoids like you, our minds and hearts wander and we found ourselves more interested in the visual side of software. The quirky bit isn't going to change though
We decided to focus on directions where we believe we can make the biggest difference and also enjoy what we do. With the excitedly received announcement of Skitch and of course, Comic Life, you can see this direction taking form.
Be sure, we didn't make this decision lightly, but have decided to stop selling Rax 2 and Wormhole2.
We will certainly continue to offer support for Rax 2 and Wormhole 2 for existing licensed users for a year after purchase date, give or... give, an extra half a year on top of that.
We are still very proud of these products however - so it seems a terrible waste to just let them die.
So... what now? Well, we want your thoughts on exactly that!
Some of the options: * Sell them to a company that better suits the products (and vice versa!) * Release for free but without support or updates. (owners will still receive support) * Open source the projects. ** Wormhole might make sense to hand over to a project like Jack / JackOS X
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/08 20:38you guys have to keep selling wormhole! i just got my two computers all setup just how i want 'em and i need wormhole, otherwise my setup won't work. please could you help me out.

Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/09 04:39I just came here today cause wormhole was on my to-be-purchased-list for quite some time and I decided to buy it this month. And now you stopped selling it, well that's too bad.. Do you plan to release it as no-support-free-version any time?
If there's still a chance to get it, I'd love to know..

As I'm a big fan of opensource software and try to give back to the community whenever I can by providing my time for beta-testing, releasing my own plugs/skins for free and donating to devs that release extra-ordinary free software, my vote is this:
-> release the latest binaries for free without support and perhaps release the source code as it could be a great step forward for the linux world.. I'm just getting into making music with linux now that energyXT2 evolves on that platform. It would be a great addition if we could use a linux-box alongside osx/win.
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/09 06:43Wow, it's funny as I was just planning on buying both Wormhole & Rax 2 later this year when I buy a Mac to complement my PC setup (I also want to run Metasynth as that is unlikely to ever be ported to Windows).
In any case, I think that Wormhole SHOULD be made open-source in order to keep maximum potential for future platforms (Linux, future Mac OS versions, Windows, etc.) and plug-in formats (DX version?).
As for RAX, I think based on the tight integration between it and aspects of OSX, it should be sold off to Apple if possible, if not, then open it up for possible Linux development.
