Happy Valentines Day! To Celebrate this special holiday I released a new update to 3 Jewels. This update has a much requested feature that will allow players to continue the Endless Mode even if after they close 3 Jewels on their phone. I also added 10 more Challenge Levels, including this awesome Heart Shaped Level.
I am happy to announce that another update of Train Sim is now live. This time I focused on replacing the R160 New York subway model as well improving the Mountain Trail Scene. I also added additional Leaderboards to Train Sim that allow players to compare their total distance traveled as well as the number of crashes.
One of my favourite things added in this release were Break Sparks to all Trains & improved the Break Animations on steam trains. When breaks are initiated the wheels will lock in place rather then slowing down.
I also updated some minor details such as the vehicles on all the scenes to the improved models I previously used in the Desert scene. There were also some bug fixes, such as the never-ending rain in one of the train cars.
Currently the update is live for Android but I am working on porting it to the other platforms.
Train Sim update is now live across all platforms. These include: Android, iOS, Amazon, Mac Store, Windows Store. You can now play this newest version of Train Sim, any time on any device. No Limits!
This was a large update that took me almost 2 months to complete. The work completed includes:
I would like to thank all of my Facebook and Twitter fans for all your great suggestions and encouragement while I was working on this release. I hope that you all like it.
Happy Rails!
I am happy to report that Train Sim has received another awesome update. This time I focused on updating one of the existing older scenes.
I started by asking my twitter account, Which Scene I should focus on updating. The Farm Land scene was a clear winner. (I think I will be doing more of that in the future)
Initially I focused on making a larger more interesting track layout. In the old scene the track was arranged in a circle, and I received allot of complaints about that from users. As you will see from the top view of the track, the layout is much more interesting then before.
I also wanted to add some new assets to the scene, These included:
However I wanted the scene to seem familiar as well, so allot of the old farm textures & small towns found in the old levels are still present in this new scene.
On top of the improved Farm Land scene I also added a new GE AC4400CW train with custom freight cars to go with it. This brings the total number of trains available in Train Sim to 47!
This new awesome new update is already available on Android & Amazon. And it is pending review in the Windows Store. I am still working on updating Train Sim on iOS.
I am happy to announce that after months of work Aquarium Sim for Android is now live on the Google Play store.
Aquarium Sim is an interactive virtual Aquarium for your phone & tablet. Sit back, relax and enjoy a variety of marine & freshwater fish swimming about in a colorful coral reef habitat. Setup your aquarium by choosing from 82 fish and 9 environments. Interact with your pets by taping on the glass and feeding them.
Aquarium Sim Features:
– 82 highly detailed fish species Including (Clown Fish, Puffer Fish, Sting Ray, Sea Horse)
– 7 intricately detailed coral reef scenes
– 2 Freshwater Scenes
– Realistic Swimming behaviors and appearance
– No in-app purchases, all fish & environments are free
Although I had the Acela Express model ready for a while, I did not get a chance to ad it to Train Sim in the last update . Adding the Indian Scene was already a huge story and I wanted to make sure I limit the amount of changes in a single release.
So over the last 2 weeks I focused on adding the Acela Express & the Southern Pacific 4449. to Train Sim. I think you will agree that the quality of these Trains is really awesome!
I also spend some time improving the Main Menu for Train Sim. The important change here is that the scenes are now represented by text and picture, making it far more kid friendly. (This has been on my backlog for a long time.)
These changes are now live on Android & Amazon, and waiting for review on iOS. I should have the Windows Store & Phone version live within the next week or two.
Its been a busy few weeks. First I updated Train Sim with 2 (yes 2) new Trains; Class 91 & Bombardier Talent. If that was not enough I also added a new Train Selector and fixed a bunch of bugs.
I am proud to say that Train Sim now features 44 Trains. Thats 44 high quality realistic trains with full 3D cabins and custom sounds. This update is now available on Android, Amazon & iOS.
I have to say Train Sim came a long way in just over 2 years, I can only imagine where it will be in 2 more.
If that was not enough I also posted an Update to Dinosaur Sim. Although Dinosaur Sim is a fairly recent addition to my game lineup, it has proven to be very popular. So this week I added 2 new Dinosaurs (Styracosaurs & Kentrosaurus) to Dinosaur Sim. I am happy to say that this update is also already available on Android & iOS with Amazon coming soon.
I am also working on a Windows 10 version of Dinosaur Sim, I may be able to submit it next week.

Today I am celebrating the 1,000,000 download of Car Crashers. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed playing this game over the last 15 months. I am happy that a game I made to stop my son from crashing toy cars in real life, turned into so much virtual crashing fun for him and so many other players. Stay tuned for future updates to Car Crashers, starting with an update to the Windows 10 version.
Last week I posted a new version of Train Sim for Android, and Amazon. This update features Double Engines which is one of the features most requested by Train Sim users I also took the opportunity to add Game Controller Support. This is not a popular request but it does open Train Sim to devices that support Game Controllers such as Amazon TV or Xbox One. Please let me know how the controller works on Android game controllers. Lastly I fixed the direction of steam when trains go backwards.
As always the iOS and Windows 10 update will come slightly after the Android releases.
