Distant Suns now for the iPad
Posted by proxima | Filed under Announcement
If all goes well, Distant Suns will be available for the iPad the day of launch, this coming Saturday. I received the official blessing from Apple yesterday. There is one last hurdle to go through, but I don’t expect any problems.
This will be the sixth platform Distant Suns has been on. Click on each picture to get a better view.

April 3rd, 2010 at 3:57 pmThe UI was changed to conform to the iPad standards. I had it bounced once by the Appstore because one of the new “popover”s wasn’t quite right, so they’re really fussy about stuff like that. There was enough space for only one toolbar, so no need to rotate. And the only other change is that the landscape art has been removed, as it looked terrible on the larger screen.
Distant Suns is primarily produced by a group of one, Mike Smithwick, the original author and designer,under the informal name of "First Light Software".
Mike is available for contract work in C/C++/Java, focussing primarily in the 3D arena but can also handle server side jobs, SDK and tool development,
and much much more!
