Thunderstorm v1.3

  - New Feature: Drops hitting camera
  - Update: Slider bar for setting bolt interval
  - Update: Slider bar for setting number of clouds

One of the most requested features is water drops hitting the camera, and after some delay it's finally in and working!  It looks pretty good, but regardless I've defaulted it to off -- look towards the bottom of the settings screen for the checkbox!

The slider bar dialog is a new class I put together this morning, which should work well for some of the more numerical settings in the future.  In this case it means I can have a wide range of lightning bolt frequencies without having a big awkward scrolling list.  Much better!

  2. Hi,

    I love the wallpapers, I think they're very slick. I'm doing a bit of research and I've a couple of questions if that's ok.

    1) Do they generate similar revenue to apps?
    2) Do you have any hints/tips for other beginner wallpaper developers?

    Thanks,

    Jim

  4. I really couldn't say how their revenue compares to apps, it's honestly probably lower (if for no other reason that tons of phones don't support them), but I've done decently with it personally.

    I decided to try focusing on Live Wallpapers early on since I have a really broad skillset and can handle all aspects of the job, which is a fairly unusual thing. As time has gone on I've hired out art periodically, however -- partly to save time and partly because I'm a very good technical artist but I'm mediocre at painting something from scratch, which is necessary at times.
