Gamification: the new normal
We’ve posted a few times about several game developments we are currently involved in that are, to put it mildly, extremely exciting. We love projects on the cutting edge, and that edge right now is gamification. While our projects are still a short ways away from release, we are still talking to clients every day [...]
Gymboss sound settings
I’ve been noticing a lot of hits to the site lately related to sounds in Gymboss. If you can’t hear the alarms in your Gymboss app, the problem is that your sound effects are muted or set too low. There are several channels that an app can put sounds through on iDevices, and Gymboss does [...]
