Cartoon Gang 2.0

October 12th, 2009 admin No comments

Yes, the dream is coming true now! We have just submitted COMPLETLY FREE version of totally New, enhanced Cartoon Gang application. The list of new features is really long so just trying say it on one breath:

  • Browsing public profiles – the transparency level of avatar indicates the time from last user activity (the more transparent the more time lasted from his last login).
  • Browsing, downloading and voting for public movies
  • Rotation, flipping, enhanced scaling of sprites
  • Deleting and editing of custom sprites
    • Undo option and “clear canvas” in custom sprite drawing
  • Text to speech library to enable sprites speaking in different languages
  • Tab based UI for contacts and movies management
  • Admob adds on menu screen to let You know about other interesting mobile stuff
  • Reusing already registered accounts (using login and password after reinstallation)
  • Some sprites replacement (four built-in sprites has changed)

If You had already Cartoon Gang installed we strongly recommend to uninstall it and install new version (in this way You can use Your previous profile, but You will lose Your other data, but You will have new guide movie installed).

Now we are waiting for Your movies and comments.
We are still working on enhancing web player to be exactly the same as player on Your Android phone.

Have fun Dears!
Version 2.0 is on the market!

Cartoon Gang Revolution

October 2nd, 2009 admin No comments

The great day is just around the corner!
Can Cartoon Gang app have even more features, is it really possible?
The answer is short and simple – of course YES!
Within few days new, completely revolutionized version will be released to Android Market (possibly as paid application, but don’t be afraid of Your pockets, won’t be expensive).
What will it have?

  • Finally characters will be able to TALK in many languages (thanks to TTS library)
  • Rotation and flipping of sprites will be possible
  • Better managing of custom creatures (editing, deleting, etc.)
  • Browsing and downloading public movies
  • Possibility of using existing accounts after reinstallation
  • Searching for registered users

That is not all. Moreover You will be able to watch public movies here, on www.cartoongang.net! I have to admit, that I’ve seen some of them already and I must confess: You, guys have really great imagination and creative potential!

We hope You will enjoy the new version!

Stay tuned and think in a cartoon way my Dears!
revolution is near

ADC2 judging started and some important update! IMPORTANT!

September 27th, 2009 admin No comments

From 24, September judging in Android Developer Challenge 2 (ADC2) has started. Look for special judging app (look for “android developer” or “challenge” in Android Market) and take Your chance to star the submitted applications!
Once You are provided with Cartoon Gang do not hesitate to give 5 stars in each category ;) .
One important issue here: we have received some not so pleasant feedback from some of You that there are no black people avatars/characters in default set. Shame on us, really. We used to live in a small country in the end of the world and we didn’t have the foggiest about that it could offend anyone. Sorry for that.
This will be changed as soon as possible and black people avatars/characters will appear soon for sure.
For now I can only say that still You can draw Your avatar with newest version from Android Market.
Be patient and forgive us this oversigh.

Cartoon Gang v1.0 is crawling in Android Market

September 16th, 2009 admin No comments

From Monday, 15.09.2009 Cartoon Gang v1.0 is available in Android Market for free (Social category) . We uploaded it to gain some feedback from You all, just to know what You like and what is completely annoying in version 1.0.
Application is in Your hands only for two days and we have many valuable comments and remarks. Most of You have nice impression, like the concept, but „force close” problem irritates You so much.
Yes, there was problem with memory allocation on the device when so many images were already loaded (i.e. many movie frames require many bitmap thumbnails to be loaded in memory, etc.).
But now good news! We found fabulous memory profiler for Android platform (thanks to DDMS) and will keep going with this gating issue.
New release soon, no more force closes any more :) .

And one more thing to reward Your patience: You will be able to play public movies uploaded on server soon!

Thanks for Your comments, guys!
