Gloom Beacon: Use Your Strategic Thinking And Release Your Inner Magician!
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 10.20.09 under Games & Entertainment
October 20, 2009 – StrongGames has announced the release of Gloom Beacon, the new addictive game that successfully blends role-playing set and turn-based card strategy. The game offers the chance to get into the world of magic and challenge the evil wizard and his black army.
Gloom Beacon tells a tale of Oasis, once a thriving trade center, which has been turned into the residence of the Dark Lord named Krachont. Wielding dark magic, the evil wizard has enslaved the citizens, turned the former king into a ruthless monster and imprisoned the queen. The Oasis is now disguised by the Gloom Beacon, and ships of the desert fail to find it. But this all is about to change now, as you start a fight against Krachont and his black minions.
In the game, a player takes on the role of a brave warrior who makes up his mind to fight Krachont. Gloom Beacon offers four classes (Fire, Earth, Water and Air) and eight races for your character (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Minos, Lahama, Rooh, Skogi and Kanchhor), making it completely customizable. You will play through 50 challenging levels involving strategic thinking, and will have 300 terrifying enemy monsters, including 10 bosses, to defeat. As you earn enough gold, you’ll be able to recruit allies to support you in this epic battle.

Image Comparer Is Getting Smarter in Assisting Photographers with Photo Duplicates Detection
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 10.16.09 under Desktop Publishing, Graphic Apps
Bolide Software announces version 3.7 of Image Comparer, its groundbreaking image comparison software. This new version of Image Comparer offers even greater opportunities in terms of accuracy, functionality, speed.
Since the moment of the first release Image Comparer has become mature and sophisticated. Plenty of great features have been introduced and have significantly added to its performance and quality.
Thanks to multicore CPU optimization added, Image Comparer is getting much faster and efficient. The ability to mark images with lower quality automatically in addition to automarking images with higher quality accelerates operating with the files found. The whole process now takes up even less time than before, whereas the quality gets even higher.
What makes Image Comparer different from most of its competitors is that it uses the breakthrough content-based comparison approach, the mechanism implying that the search will analyze and recognize the actual content of the image – shapes, colors, textures. So, the program analyzes image content, not metadata such as captions or keywords. This mechanism makes it possible to search for resized, rotated and even flipped images.
