Zombie Horde Live Wallpaper v1.05

- New Feature: Blood sprays leave marks on the ground!
- Update: Better blood blending
- Update: Different default blood color and weapon loadout

This is an incremental update that should fix a couple minor issues involving blood blending and so on.  It also allows blood spray particles to render into the gore buffer, so you get a sweet blood spray as the bullet exits!

KF Billiards Live Wallpaper v1.0

(Full Version Link)

We were surprised to find that there wasn't much for billiards simulations up on Play, especially when it came to live wallpapers, and so figured it'd be fun to put one together quick.  At this point we've done a few different projects for third parties that leaned on physics of one type or another -- shooting basketballs, that sort of thing -- so we had the experience, and things came together quite fast.

The result is a good looking, accurately physics-simulated pool table, which honestly is a pretty fun toy to have running in the background.  We took a few different passes at the ball rendering and have a nice glossy, correct looking result to go along with this, and you can customize the felt color and ball appearances as well!

Interaction is simple, just swipe over a ball (just the cue, by default) and it'll go flying in the appropriate direction.  This is a bit touchy but works well as a background toy, and I'm hoping folks agree!

KF Flames Live Wallpaper v1.4

  - Update: New flame style, High Res
  - Update: Adjusted settings layout
  - Google Play Link (full)
  - Google Play Link (free)

The main point of this update is to get the new flame artwork available to folks.  It's higher resolution and somewhat noisier than the (still default) old style art, but hopefully some folks like it.

Additionally the settings screen was tweaked a bit, just minor layout stuff, nothing big. There's a link to additional products now, if that excites you!

Galactic Core Live Wallpaper v2.41

 - Bug Fix: Crash when changing theme on some locales
  - Google Play Link (full)
  - Google Play Link (free)

There were a couple of other minor localization things as well, but the main one is the crash.  Basically, before we localized anything I went through and separated out any strings that shouldn't be localized.  I missed one, and so depending on how the translator handled it you'd get a crash as it was looking for an improper filename.

This took embarassingly long to realize what was going on, sorry about that folks.  :/

Jumpgate Live Wallpaper v1.7

  - New Feature: Color tint the energy helix!
  - Update: Two new cloud styles
  - Update: Higher res icons
  - Google Play Link (full)
  - Google Play Link (free)

Not an earth shaking update, but this adds a little more customization to the full version, and pretties up the icon on high-end devices on the free.  The rather cryptically named "tint the energy helix" item up there refers to the swirly energy thing in the scene, which already had a pref to enable/disable... now you can tint it and gain a highlight color!

The first of the two new cloud styles is basically a brighter, more variant cloud similar to the original one but streakier.  The second is a very crazy set of gradient rays that goes pretty far into 2001 inside-the-monolith psychedelic territory.

Let's face it, there's not really any reason you need a peaceful home screen.  Step out of that narrow niche and into a wondrous world of zombie carnage!  Defend the last scraps of humanity as they make a final stand out in the wilderness!  Tap on zombies to kill them, or let the folks in the bunker do it for you.  Configure the bunker's weaponry, or whether it exists at all!  All with lighting that reflects the current time of day.

Seriously though, we've been working on this for a while, in particular trying to make sure we could really pile up the blood splats and dead(er) zombies over time.  All the deaths are rendered into a single buffer image that's very slowly faded over time, and if you turn the fading low you can end up with literally hundreds of decals and dead zombies over time.  By default this is a half-res buffer, but you can check a box for a full-res one in the settings if your device is reasonably quick.

The bunker itself is a sort of ramshackle last-stand thing typical of the setting, and we have a few controls letting you choose between rifles, assault weapons, or both.  If this does well we can expand that list in the future, but for now it gives you control over close-in shots or farther away ones.  You can also arm between 1 and 5 survivors, depending on your mood.  Or, well, turn it off and do all the work yourself as you touch the screen.

As with a lot of our products we also allow the lighting to change based on the current time of day, and retrieve your coarse location so we can approximate your actual sunrise/sunset times.  Hopefully folks dig this one, it's pretty far off from our usual passive feeling stuff but I'm hoping there's demand. :)
