Today we fixed a bug in the twinFruits game, which affected the highscore list.

The new version of the game has already been shipped to Apple for approval, and the new version will be 1.1.2

We are happy to present our newest app for the danish techblogger, Kenneth Wedmore Lund, which is called LivingSmartTV.

This app gathers all information and media from both www.kennethlund.dk and www.livingsmart.dk  into one single app, with blogs, twitter, tv shows, “gadget hot or not”, push notifications directly to your phone when new content has been created.

You can even watch all episodes of LivingSmartTV (aired on danish DK4) directly on your device.

The app is an universal app and runs on all iOS devices – the app is in danish only.

The twinFruits v1.1.1 update has just been approved by Apple.

Expect the update to be available within the next 24 hours.

Today we have submitted our newest app “Living Smart TV” to Apple. The app binds all content and media produced by the danish techblogger Kenneth “Wedmore” Lund.

The app has been developed as an “universal binary”, meaning that the same app runs both on iPhone and iPad.

The screenshots has been taken from the iPhone 4 version.

Today we have submitted en minor update of the twinFruits game to Apple. The updates fixes a couple of errors, when playing the game on some of the new iOS devices (iPod, iPad running iOS 4.2)

The update will automatically be available on your device, when it’s available in the App Store.

We just wanted to post a little preview of one of the new games we are currently working on. Enjoy!

The game is still in an early stage, and the above screenshot is from a dev / debug version of the game.

The game uses a really cool parallax feature, adding depth to the entire game.

Running on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Life as an indie software company is GREAT!

But as an indie, I think the importance of gathering information and keeping yourself up to date, is something that has to prioritized high in the everyday schedule. Personally I use Twitter, blogs, podcasts etc. as a daily source.

In this post I’ll try to gather *the best* sources of influence as an iOS developer and list of usefull tools we all can use as indie developers. But I see this as an ongoing process, so PLEASE give me feedback with YOUR additions to the lists and I will update them, to keep them as complete as possible.

Please remember to make a nice review of the game, if you like this FREE game from Netcoders ApS

Today our game twinFruits was reviewed in a danish TV show, and in this review there is a story of an 90 years old woman, who has become addicted to playing twinFruits, and now she even had gotten her very own iPad.

That is really cool news, we wanted to create a “casual game” and news like this makes us feel like we have accomplished that.

See the clip here : http://livingsmart.dk/2010/10/14/ekstraudsendelse-twin-fruits-maske-arets-mest-vanedannende-spil/

Today we realized that our game twinFruits recently was picked for the “What’s Hot” section in the Apple AppStore.

We are really proud of this and glad that even Apple like our game.

Also, with upadte v1.1 of twinFruits its even more fun to play the game, and we have seen alot of Facebook players competing against their friend, with their own personalized highscore system.

Again, enjoy the game
