I like the new look as well..

Looks good.

MarineAquarium 2.6 for iPad, is not displayed inside iTunes Canada.

Did soon MarineAquarium 3.3 for iPad? Any News from programmors, ...

I've been hoping to get Jim O'Connor to do the conversion of v3.3 for i-devices, but the market may be too small.

I still think that there is a big gap there. Smart watches are becoming quite popular.

I just don't know how much market there is for a big, highly-detailed aquarium on a 1-inch watch screen.

I don't know how much market there is for smartwatches. Nobody's products are selling particulary well. Not Samsung, not Apple. Nobody. If I want to know what time it is, I look at my phone.

If I want to know what time it is, I sit down 'til the urge goes away.

That is admittedly painful. Then again I'm in the camp that you should be doing all the art and animation but having someone else do the programming.

In a way, Unity does the programming. The author creates objects and textures, then drops them into the Unity world. The game engine maintains that world, including the physics (gravity, collisions, etc).

I just got it on my iPad. It looks so good!

The down-side is it isn't a 64-bit App, so will stop working when you upgrade to iOS11 (due September-ish).

jleslie · 12-09-2017, 11:49 AM

Can I quickly ask if there is any news if the current iOS Marine Aquarium will get a 64-bit version (I'm assuming it can't be that hard to convert the 32-bit one) or is it done and over now?

Jim O'Connor said he plans to bring it up to the current iOS spec, but it would still be the old version and not 3.3. We're trying to get him to change his mind.
