Kids Car Racers received a much overdue update last week for Android & iOS. Update, now live! Including a New Fantasy Themed Scene and a much improved GUI that is more intuitive to kids. I also picked a more friendly main menu theme music.

Train Sim New Trains and Menu
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.
Trains & Dinosaurs
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.

Car Crashers 1 Million Downloads
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.
Train Sim Update
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.
Car Crashers “Car Bowling” Update
Car Crashers Update is now live on Google Play Store. This new update features an new “Car Bowling” scene as well as an improved user interface.
Flight Sim Update 2 New Airplanes
Flight Sim for Android has been updated with 2 new airplanes and many improvements and bug fixes. This update brings the total number of airplanes to 16. My goal for this year is to bring the number of airplanes to 20 so I think I am right on track. As always these new airplanes are available for free and there are no in-app purchases in Flight Sim.
WHAT’S NEW

Google Play (Android) Store Listing
Train Sim Updated iOS, Amazon, Windows Store
The reason that I always publish to Google Play/Android first, is that the updates are almost instant and always available the same day. All the other platforms take longer, between 1-7 days. Even longer if the update gets rejected for something silly.
This last update to Train Sim was especially important because of the major improvement to sound effects, so I wanted to publish these changes ASAP. I am happy to announce that this new version of Train Sim with improved sounds is now available for iOS, Amazon Store & Windows Store. The only remaining platform I still have to update is Windows Phone. However Windows Phone affects a very small % of the player base so at this point over 99% of Train Sim fans have access to the newest version.
3 Jeweled Updated
As promised I updated 3 Jeweled with a mute button. You can now set the sound options in the menu to “Music Off” or “Mute All Sounds” This way people can listen to their own music as they play the game. I also prevented the device from sleeping during gameplay.
