Seems to be fixed
fabrika··on iOS 9.3 Preview
iPhone screens look blueish in a warm light environment. I wish Apple would implement real-time dynamic white balance by using data from selfie cameras. So that screen white would blend with white phone enclosure the same way they try to blend black with black.
fabrika··on Cheapshot – A map-based multiplayer shooter game for iPhone
Thank you! Basically it is a series of 2 seconds square videos with a small interaction: you tilt your iPhone to explore the videos. Just like photos in Paper by Facebook.

The videos and transitions were filtered with a combination of destructive After Effects filters. Some of the effects were achieved by using a nice little iPhone app called Glitché.

We intentionally lowered the quality when we exported the videos so that they look 'authentic'.

This is embarrassing. We will fix it. Thank you.

You are positioned in your location with a simple handgun. 'Debtors' are created around you based on Foursquare and Instagram activity. Other players will also appear nearby. Attack by tapping/long tapping. They will fight back.

Level-up, get better guns, chems and equipment.

Living in Russia I wasn't aware of him being a child rapist. That's definitely not a part of our promotion plan. Will remove him.

I'm one of the game creators and this submission is not mine. I couldn't resist to upvote it though. As for the game getting boring I really hope you're wrong: most of the players find it very addictive and it will get better if more people will find adversaries online.

Thank you, it will be better

You tap/long tap on 'debtors' on the map to shoot. They will fight back. You kill them and collect loot.

The closer the target the higher the chance to hit.

Your effective range will increase with as your weaponry advances.

If someone launches the game nearby you will see him/her around (players' icons have white outline). You can also kill them.

It took us three years of weekends to build this game and finally it's on the App Store. It's not yet perfect but we believe it's entertaining and our first players find it addictive.

Would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

fabrika··on San Francisco system font replacement for Yosemite
The font looks really fresh but it only has Latin glyphs, hopefully they will add Cyrillic and Asian range this winter.
fabrika··on Apple Plans to Shut Down Beats Music?
Apple Beats would make a great new music brand.
fabrika··on Apple Plans to Shut Down Beats Music?
I was hoping they will rebrand iTunes into Beats, iTunes feels really tired as a brand. Beats is fresh. But I guess I was wrong, let's see what they will come up with. All new iTunes with curated playlists would also be great.
fabrika··on Watch as 1000 years of European borders change – timelapse map [video]
I wish someone with lots of time created a Google Maps based website with a time slider so you can see how borders changed in retrospect. Events with links to Wikipedia articles. Seeing Europe, Asia and America change in parallel should be eye-opening.
fabrika··on Edward Snowden, Whistle-Blower
According to summer polls 22% of Russians would love to leave Russia. Especially true for students (45%) and entrepreneurs (38%).
fabrika··on What the World Would Look Like if Countries Were as Big as Online Populations
South America is basically the same.

fabrika··on Is Social Media Worthless?
Social media won't bring a whole lot new customers but it is a great tool to build a brand or to provide support.

I've had similar issues with Cinema Displays in mid 2000-s.
