Aviation Empire: KLM-game lets you play airfield on iPhone and iPad - iphoneclub.nl

Empire Aviation logo KLM has a 3D simulation game for iPad and iPhone released. Aviation Empire for iOS shows remarkably no purely promotional app, but a real game where the player aircraft long different airports let fly. It appears to be a mix of simulation elements and the history of KLM, which began nearly a century ago. Performance in the game are shared with other users. The game was Thursday, June 27 shown to the press and is now available on the App Store.

 Empire Aviation Airport Pieter Elbers, chief operation officer of KLM, presented the game in Hangar 14 at Schiphol, where a real Boeing 747 served as a backdrop. He said that KLM 3.9 million followers on Facebook and has actively wants to communicate with consumers. Martijn van der Zee, senior vice president of E-Commerce Air France KLM, explained that even further: “We found out through our social media messages out that people want to be, want to join, really involved” says Van der Zee. The title of the game was ultimately determined by the consumer. “You notice to consumers that they do not like to be approached, unilaterally they really want a relationship with you. This game is beaten a bridge between the real world and the virtual world. “Because 70% of KLM’s customers come from abroad, it pays even more widely to develop a real game says Van der Zee.

Aviation Empire was created by Little Chicken Game Company, an Amsterdam developer who got the daunting task to discuss what a game it had to be with KLM. It was mainly a balance to be sought between game elements and realism. Aviation Empire to both fans of airplanes as fans of simulation games fascinate. This balance seems one of the strengths of the KLM-game. The objective of the game is to buy aircraft, airports open and carry passengers. The story begins in 1919 mode, in which you fully compliant with the history begins with the line Amsterdam to London. You earn some money, place buildings as control towers and hangars and with the passage of the years, the fleet is bigger and more accessible airports. A as a true manager should take into account passengers happy, healthy profits, rising costs and more micro-management tasks.

Empire Aviation globe Aviation Empire has a big advantage over similar simgames: there has to be earned with no money. Although there are in-app purchases, for example, to launch a spacecraft is to play without something to give the game completely. Also it has no limitations in commercial games is often the case, as to wait for certain developments. When the play sessions of the 150 testers were viewed showed how long they played. Unlike many other simgames, which play sessions of fifteen minutes the rule rather than the exception, the testers were playing.

hours on end

course Aviation Empire a game that was created in collaboration with a commercial company, but the balance seems to have been found. The various classical ‘baking’ and the beautiful plates in the history of the company for the lovers a nice extra, but you need to be clear to start to the game. No aviation fanatic KLM and developer Little Chicken Game Company both give that cooperation often resembled a boxing match, but always led to the correct result. So the players wanted the aircraft would appear. Bit bigger in the picture According to KLM no longer knocked it and seemed to fly the aircraft dangerously close to each other. Yet the compromise appeared to work. Because in the end the game always plays it safe: all aircraft remain even in the biggest problems neatly in the air

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review for iPad - GameSpot

XCOM: Enemy Unkown appeared last year on consoles and PC and was seen as the best RTS of 2012. With great pleasure we look back at the editorial on this top title, but success in the eyes of 2K Games is not big enough. There had to be a broader audience and therefore the game now available for the iPad.

This

2K Games delivers a decent performance. Never before have we seen a title of this size and with this quality on our iOS devices. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the XCOM experience as you’re used to the console and PC, but with touchscreen control. The transfer to the touch controls is remarkably well done. If turn-based game gives XCOM: Enemy Unknown you all the time in the world to select one of your characters. This is done by tapping them on the screen. Would you move them, you touch the screen at the point where they need to go. When the time has come to go shooting, you simply select that action and then you attach it. It is simple and intuitive, so you never do wrong while playing accidentally. You select the most wrong character when they are close together, but that’s easy to correct.

Because the controls work well, you get the most out of the many possibilities that knows the game. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a RTS where every action you think twice whether it is the right one. When one of your characters on his own sending the battlefield, then chances are he croak in a firefight with the enemy. And then you’re really lost him. Especially when it comes to a character who has fought a number of missions for you that sucks. They learn more and more unique skills. You do not suddenly lose them and that keeps you sharp and motivated.

18 euros for an iOS game

With a price of around eighteen euro XCOM is not a cheap game. The platform is even extremely expensive. And apart from that fact: XCOM this month for PlayStation Plus members and now on the Xbox 360 and PC for twenty euro also find free. On the other hand, for 18 euros you get an experience that is better than the average Nintendo 3DS or Vita game

.

While there is always the risk that you lose troops, you tarry mission after mission play. This thanks to the ability to expand. XCOM your base The items that you take after a successful mission of the battlefield, you can explore new techniques ‘home’. Thus, for example, new weapons available, you then let fabricate, so you can equip your hero with a better weapon. Within the next mission by the engineers Whether you use your hard-earned money to create new rooms in the base and as a larger team unlockable. Like the console is an XCOM game that involved many hours. Whether you currently spend on upgrading your base or playing one after another mission.

However, there are a few points which XCOM stitches drop on the iPad. First, there are clearly less than in the original maps, giving you just a little too often in environments is that you’ve seen before. Although enemies are always in a different place and use other techniques, this is a shame. In addition, the game in technology underperforms. The framerate is here and not completely stable and the game also lacks some bells and whistles, causing explosions and various lighting effects are less spectacular.

Fortunately not. become the missing maps and sometimes lesser graphics core XCOM The game also keeps you on the iPad with ease an hour or twenty busy, even if you played the game as I already have on the Xbox 360, PC or PS3. Meanwhile, the Vita or 3DS in the bag remain a wonderful game to occasionally show a break, on the couch or during your vacation.

First iPad-school start in Heenvliet - RTV Rijnmond

Ten schools perform next school tablet computers as the main learning tool. One is in our region: the OBS Pair in Heenvliet

.

Some students will work with an iPad as a pilot. Next school year all students receive their own iPad and thus is called a Pair Steve Jobs School, named after the deceased inventor of the tablet.

Guinea Pigs
“The classroom is off. So the instructions are much more individual and not at half past nine in the class start his all in writing. On its own way and according to their needs,” said Mrs. Sanne.

The students now as a guinea pig to try the iPad, are enthusiastic. “Thanks so handy each own an iPad, because now it’s who insist first on the computer,” says Jesse from group 8. “Many children find it fun so you better keep your concentration,” says Francis Group 7. And Kayleigh Group 7 indicates admit that they find more fun than writing on paper.

iPad

Fascinating Education
Blackboard, writing and books do not disappear completely from the curriculum. But there are no more rows stamped, it’s more playful. “You have to give children exciting education and such a device can captivate. But it remains to count, it continues writing and spelling remains,” says school director Ger Heijden the choice to be a iPadschool.

That education students with a tablet computer as a “game” will experience, is the school principal is not an issue. “That is just a powerful and one that is proven. If you learn as one game, it appears that children become fascinated faster and more motivated to learn.”

Euro College
A majority of the House is positive about this educational though there is also skepticism. There are schools who knowingly perform an anti-computer policy. As the Euro College in Rotterdam, an MBO and HBO program for event management, hotel management and business school. “A book gives structure and focus. A computer in the classroom only distracts. You’re all googling, hundreds of hits, play games. Curriculum is better absorbed when you read, see and pronounce,” said Frank van der Burg of the Euro College.

“It is constant puzzle,” responds headmaster Heijden. “Writing can I find a good example. Such a device does not write unnecessary but can very well be used to help practice. There is an application in which the characters are encountered, with voice support then you can see how the letter is formed and can you on the screen to move your finger. then the step that you make on pen and paper, which seems logical to me. “

Most parents enthusiastically
Pair in Heenvliet is an existing school and get on the iPad formula. A choice of the school, parents should be applauding this innovation. “I had already read about it and then I thought this is a nice concept,” says mother Liesbeth Werleman.

also mother Belinda Verweel is enthusiastic: “I think it will remember and learn better.” Mother Cobie Voogt has some reservations: “fine motor skills, I am afraid that is missing from so much computer work.” Yet Cobie mother loves her children at school: “you do not know what you have, what you get.”

criticism
Most of the parents is an interesting development. Yet some parents took the kids out of school just because of the transition to iPad education. “In 75 percent of families is a tablet present, most children have already made pre-school knowledge. Then I think it’s very strange to school the iPad to do away and write. Only in a booklet”

Sanne teacher understands the concerns about too much at the computer. “Then I just get more energy to show that it really can be an improvement.” The guinea pigs are just as enthusiastic: “I feel great, really nice.”

Old circuits and cars

Colin McRae Rally three cars Although you 2.0 not name returned is the new Colin McRae Rally, Codemasters let no grass grow in the App Store description. The new iOS game is a remake of the second part of the series. It brings the same thirty tracks as yesteryear back on to tear. So you crack the sandbox that Australia is called, you crank through the narrow asphalt roads of Corsica and climb and descend by mountains in Greece. The cars are taken directly from the late nineties. You step on the gas pedal of a Ford Focus, Subaru Impreza, Lancia Stratos and the Mitsubishi Lancer.


Technical differences

You can not see the environment spontaneously as when you turn up on the PlayStation, but sees in favorable cases also the turn after the current turn. That trees, shrubs and other objects are angular, looks somewhat outdated, but adds to the nostalgic feel of the game.

control Codemasters offers several options. Standard use a touch control, but you can tip if desired. Specifically, the option that you can fix, or cause to move with your cornering. Horizon The last option makes the game more dynamic, making it less noticeable that the images are not too modern. Unfortunately, it can not hide the fact that the game would have been possible. Bit smoother It sometimes feels not quite smooth.


Heart retrieve

Colin McRae Rally allows more extensive Game Center integration lie. Online leaderboards against your friends and other online players are not on the agenda, and you can not challenge each other for better lap times, for example. It feels like the game a bit scant.

First impression: make iPad apps with Layer Gloss - Bright

Layer Gloss up making iPad apps about as if making paper journals.

We tried again a few weeks the Dutch service AppMachine, it seemed easy to make apps for iPhone and Android make. The Dutch also Layer Gloss focuses on roughly the same audience that programming has eaten. No cheese Big difference with AppMachine is that you probably have at Layer Gloss much more to any knowledge of design.

Where you at AppMachine namely based on standard templates that you can then customize, get in Layer Gloss more free play. AppMachine is say the Tumblr where the Layer Gloss WordPress is already running that metaphor actually spoke a little. Either way, the services are too far from each other to a directly comparable. Moreover you can make with Layer Gloss apps for the iPad. Apps for iPhone and Android in the future probably possible.

apps that you’re making with Layer Gloss are therefore only for the iPad and use. only in horizontal mode In Layer Gloss you use templates, all who serve here more as a guide. You use Layer Gloss from the browser. Create a new app, which you can fill with blank template pages. There are no placeholders, you really do get free reign to fill.

the blank templates themselves

The templates are divided into eight categories, based on what you want to do. the relevant page of the app So there are pages specifically for video, audio and animation. There are also pages for photo galleries and pages that scroll actions are possible.

src=”https://www.bright.nl/./files/201042/130626-layergrloss-1.jpg”
One of the templates: images are green, gray buttons

You go to each page, so getting out of the kind of content that you want to give to the page. Then select the template from the category that best fits your content. You’ll see more clearly where you stand: a text box, indicate the parts containing the page, an image shows how the layout is roughly

.

The different sections of the page give you content and function by dragging images in there. So you can design all by yourself buttons, then dragging them. In a button component Then you link such a button instance to a video page. This applies to very Layer Gloss: you have a skeleton that you can be as creative as you want to fill in yourself. Buttons can also be transparent, you can give a background image an interactive feel that way.

It is regrettable that you can use. no selectable text in Layer Gloss Want to add text, you’ll need an image of it. Therefore is not directly searchable text and the app is ultimately greater than is strictly necessary. This has partly solved Layer Gloss: pages are loaded each so you can still right on reading despite the size. Adding text as text would be possible in the future yet.

src=”https://www.bright.nl/./files/201042/130626-layergrloss-2.jpg”
The various components have different properties

While you make an app, you can always check the progress with its iPad app. This app also makes you especially in the beginning a lot faster by any action which have effect. Do you get the hang of it, you can easily put together page after page, to them afterwards through buttons to connect.

together

Using Layer Gloss costs money. You are a tenner a month spent on the design phase of your project. You can then up to five people to the app works, more users will cost more money. Do you want to publish your app in the App Store you have some choices. Once published without the possibility of updating costs thousand euros for a year. Do you want to access to updates, for example, push messages and multiple editions, you take the Flex App or App Editions plan. That cost three hundred and four hundred euros per month.

respectively

who like an example of an app created with Layer Gloss wants to see, look at Dots Magazine. That Dutch iPad magazine was made with Layer Gloss. Also look especially to the rest of the showcase of Layer Gloss. These apps provide a good picture of the kind of results you can expect and what options you have.

Layer Gloss is probably just one step less accessible than AppMachine. Layer Gloss seems therefore to focus on people who know exactly what they want and there, the shaping skills, but can not program. The preparation of apps in Layer Gloss feels namely a bit like the format of a magazine.
