Next Update Submitted to the Windows Store (Update: Approved)

UPDATE 6/19/2013: This update has passed certification and should be available to download sometime today! As mentioned below this release is primarily fixing some small bugs that were found by our users within the past week. More new features are being developed, so look for some content updates in the coming weeks!

-------------------------
It's been a heck of a week for LCARS Interface on Windows 8. The app continues to be in the featured section of the store and is currently in the #2 spot for the Top Paid in Spotlight! That doesn't mean it's sold more in total than say Angry Birds Star Wars, but it's current rate of sales is higher at the moment.

Of course, adding a significant number of users in a short time has been a bit overwhelming with all of the new feature requests and bug reports! Thankfully there haven't been any serious issues brought to my attention yet, but thousands of users with thousands of usage scenarios will surely come across some things we didn't catch, especially as this app grows more and more complex. We are constantly working on this though, and so the next update will be another mostly maintenance release aimed to fix some of these minor issues that have been reported. As usual we want to make sure the features we do have work properly before moving on to other things. Most of the next release will be under the hood changes that won't make a big difference to you if you haven't come across them, but there is one new feature. I have changed the sound for buttons on the Nemesis theme to more closely match the sounds used in that movie. I noticed when watching it the other day that the button presses were different, so now it should be more accurate.

As usual more updates are always being worked on, but we want to get bug fixes pushed out as quickly as possible even if new features are not ready yet.

Also, we are looking for a graphic artist that might be able to help freshen up things like our tile icon and some promotional images. And maybe also someone to make a demo video that shows how you like to use the app. Please contact us if interested.
