While stress isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can have a detrimental effect on one's physical and mental health.  That's why getting rid of any excess pressure is very important. People have different ways of relieving stress – some take a walk in the park or go fishing, others prefer arts and crafts as forms of relaxing, but these aren't all the options that are available. As a matter of fact, even your smartphones or tablet might help.

The following selection of mobile games will help you find some inner peace; they will relax and calm, and promote stimulation for tired minds. They are all minor masterpieces of chilled-out enjoyment which can help calm you after a busy day, or hectic morning, by ridding you from the stress of modern life. It’s blissful escapism at its best, and it’s entirely free!

AGA site Limitless Logos

 Limitless logos


We specialize in creating brand identity logos for start-ups and personal image branding.






WHY IS BRANDING IMPORTANT?

So what is branding? And why is it so important for your business? 
Branding goes way beyond just a logo or graphic element. When you think about your brand, you really want to think about your entire customer experience…everything from your logo, your website, your social media experiences, the way you answer the phone, to the way your customers experience your staff. When you look at this broad definition of branding, it can be a bit overwhelming to think about what is involved in your brand. 
In short, your brand is the way your customer perceives you. 
It is critical to be aware of your brand experience and have a plan to create the brand experience that you want to have… a good brand doesn't just happen… it is a well thought out and strategic plan.

Many small organizations and start-ups neglect spending necessary time thinking about their brand in this broad sense and the impact it has on their business. Let’s look at 10 reasons why digging into your brand is important:

BRANDING PROMOTES RECOGNITION. 

People tend to do business with companies they are familiar with. If your branding is consistent and easy to recognize, it can help people feel more at ease purchasing your products or services.

YOUR BRAND HELPS SET YOU APART FROM THE COMPETITION.

In today’s global market, it is critical to stand apart from the crowd. You are no longer competing on a local stage, your organization now competes in the global economy. How do you stand out from the thousands or millions of similar organizations around the world?

YOUR BRAND TELLS PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS DNA.

Your full brand experience, from the visual elements like the logo to the way that your phones are answered, tell your customer about the kind of company that you are. Are all of these points of entry telling the right story?

YOUR BRAND PROVIDES MOTIVATION AND DIRECTION FOR YOUR STAFF.

A clear brand strategy provides the clarity that your staff needs to be successful. It tells them how to act, how to win, and how to meet the organization's goals.

A STRONG BRAND GENERATES REFERRALS.

People love to tell others about the brands they like. People wear brands, eat brands, listen to brands, and they’re constantly telling others about the brands they love. On the flip side, you can’t tell someone about a brand you can’t remember. A strong brand is critical to generating referrals or viral traffic.

A STRONG BRAND HELPS CUSTOMERS KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

A brand that is consistent and clear puts the customer at ease, because they know exactly what to expect each and every time they experience the brand.

YOUR BRAND REPRESENTS YOU AND YOUR PROMISE TO YOUR CUSTOMER.

It is important to remember that your brand represents you…you are the brand, your staff is the brand, your marketing materials are the brand. What do they say about you, and what do they say about what you’re going to deliver (promise) to the customer?

YOUR BRAND HELPS YOU CREATE CLARITY AND STAY FOCUSED.

It’s very easy to wander around from idea to idea with nothing to guide you…it doesn't take long to be a long way from your original goals or plans. A clear brand strategy helps you stay focused on your mission and vision as an organization. Your brand can help you be strategic and will guide your marketing efforts saving time and money.

YOUR BRAND HELPS YOU CONNECT WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS EMOTIONALLY.

A good brand connects with people at an emotional level, they feel good when they buy the brand. Purchasing is an emotional experience and having a strong brand helps people feel good at an emotional level when they engage with the company.

A STRONG BRAND PROVIDES YOUR BUSINESS VALUE.

A strong brand will provide value to your organization well beyond your physical assets. Think about the brands that you purchase from (Coca-Cola, Wrangler, Apple, Ford, Chick-Fil-A, QuikTrip)… are these companies really worth their equipment, their products, their warehouses, or factories? No, these companies are worth much more than their physical assets…their brand has created a value that far exceeds their physical value.

A Site to Buy graphics for your Mobile Games

https://www.gamedevmarket.net/?ally=hcX85JBY


GameDev Market

Welcome to GameDev Market!

GameDev Market is a marketplace for high quality, affordable game assets handcrafted by talented creators around the world.

I discovered another great site to get some quality game graphics.  This site is very reasonable.  They have graphics and sounds for 2d, 3d, GUI, sounds and SFX.  This site is also good for developing your ideas to create your own game studio.  AGA is "so" into mobile games and apps that we have begun taking additional knowledge base courses to development for many platforms through different software programs such as Phonegap.  

AGA has been on this exciting "roller coaster" of the mobile game and app world for 2 years now.  Our first year was used to develop our first 3 games Fruitville, Phluffer Match and Falling Ice Cream. These are the first games we deployed to the Apple iTunes Store.  We were very excited.  Our Falling Ice Cream game was developed to enter into the first world re-skinning competition.  We did very well in the iTunes store download rating during the first month of the competition.  We plan to enter more re-skinning competitions in the future.

You will hear a lot more from and about AGA in the near future so keep posted.

New Social Networking App


Apply Games and Apps (AGA) has been really working up a "storm" getting more games and apps to you.  We have had several set backs due to all the upgrades Apple has been applying to Xcode but we're getting there.  

We are excited about our new social networking site "Viral Chat".  We are still working on the design and marketing.  Our google play app is available for Android users and our iTunes app was just submitted recently for apple review.

We believe this will be an exciting new social networking site for users to meet new people, connect with old friends and utilize our group feature to have business meetings.

Our slogan "JUST CHAT"

DEALING WITH XCODE 7

Apple has released Xcode 7 Beta 4.  AGA is now learning the new improvements and updating all its previously completed apps.  It has been a longer journey than expected but we are still here and growing.

Xcode 7 has made some new improvements to its coding and playground with Swift 2.  The improvements include new frameworks for Sprite Kit, Game Controller, Multipeer Connectivity, Java Script core, Media Accessiblity and Safari Services.  

Apple has made improvements to its User Interface Kit (UIKit), Games, Maps and Multitasking. For developers and designers, the biggest feature of iOS 7 is going to take some getting used to are all the new UIKit Framework functions and references. Apple has added “dynamic” UI actions, such as proximity and gravity controls as well as a whole new kit for text. The dynamic elements will take some time to study but the text kit should allow for easier development of words into apps with less actual code required in the app. The developer can add Apple Maps with 3d features.  In game center players can now interact with each other via chat, simultaneous turns and and trading game features.

And, if this is too much to swallow then you are not prepared for the rest of IOS 7 updates which are projected to be amazing.  Stay tuned for more updates!
