Since we don’t have an official Debacle Software blog, I figured this was probably the best way to spread some info. As I’ve hinted at on Twitter, we have two apps that are currently nearing completion. The apps are quite different, but we think you’ll enjoy them both. I can’t give away all the info quite yet, but I’ll spill as much as I can.

One of the two new apps (Adam’s baby) is a game codenamed LMB. He’s been working on this for quite some time, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it nearing completion. I really think that LMB will soon be eating up your time on buses and airplanes, consuming your life and destroying your friendships. I’ll apologize in advance for this.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on a new photography app, with tons of help from Adam and Eric. The codename for this one is Mira. This is one of those small, succinct ideas that I think people will really enjoy. We’re currently doing a lot of work to tune the performance of Mira and streamline the user flow through the app. We spent a lot of time on these aspects of Pano and we think (we hope?) it’s one of the things users really enjoy about it, so we’re trying to attend to those details as carefully this time around as well.

Speaking of Pano, we haven’t forgotten about our contest (though we have gotten a little behind). The votes from our external judges are in, so we’re tabulating and getting ready to announce the winners. I want to thank everyone who entered, and thank you all for your patience.

Now that OS3.1 is out we’re going to be putting together a small update for Pano that should fix some little issues, including UI problems on the 3GS. We believe the big image bug on the 3GS should now be a thing of the past, and I can’t thank everyone enough for holding out through all of this. I haven’t had the heart to look at our app store ratings lately, but if anyone wants to give us a quick rate on the store, it’d be much appreciated.

In terms of a timeline for the new apps, we’re looking at something around 1 month (so mid-October) until the release of the game codenamed LMB, and the new photography app will hopefully be showing up a bit sooner than that, perhaps in late September. As we get closer to those dates I’ll try to give more updates and information.

As always, if you have questions or thoughts, or if you would like us to reject your solicitation for a free promo code, you can always send us an email at support@debaclesoftware.com.
