Post Call Ads (Scary)
Today I received the scariest advertisement offer to date. The offer if I understood it correctly, centres around placing ads after a user places a call based on their last number dialled. I assume with the number they can get a general sense of area and interest, specially if you are calling a business. So the basic idea is you install a game, and there are no ads in the game, but you get an ad after each phone call. The company offering this is http://www.calldorado.com/
I am shocked that this is even possible, I firmly believe that advertisements should be confined to the app/game they were installed with and should not be allowed to exist outside of the sandbox that is the app. I believe most users will not understand that as a result of a game they will receive ads in after their calls. Also I can imagine trying to chase the advertisements back to the game they were installed with will be difficult.
My advice is ready your permissions list before installing any game/app. Games produced by 3583 Bytes require no special permissions and will not be using “Post Call Ads” in the future.

New London Underground Rolling Stock
I have just received confirmation that my graphic artist is working on a new London Underground Rolling Stock with a full 3d cab. Fans of the Subway Level on Train Sim will not be disappointed. This model will replace the somewhat underwhelming 1972 Rolling Stock that is currently in the game.
More updates as I receive work in progress.

iOS 8 Issues, Thanks Apple
So it looks like iOS 8 is forcing some of my games that were originally designed for Landscape mode into Portrait mode. Games affecter are Train Sim, Train Sim Lite, Car Crashers & Kids Plane Racers.
There is an easy fix and I have submitted a new version of these games to the iTunes store, however I am sure there are many developers in the same boat trying to fix their apps/games now that iOS is live and the reviewers are probably overwhelmed.
On the positive side, most of the games actually work quite well in Portrait mode with the exception of Kids Plane Racers, so it could be worse.
So thanks Apple, I love your products but stop breaking stuff.
