Inside Trader 3 Is Right Around The Corner

After months of development, Inside Trader 3 is being reviewed in the App Store right now!

This new version was the result of a big overhaul. There were a lot of changes that should help move Inside Trader forward and give me a platform to offer better features as we move on. Here are the highlights:

  • I rewrote the app in native Objective-C from the previous PhoneGap/JavaScript solution that versions 1 and 2 were using.
  • New logo/graphics from Jeremy Zeiders of http://wearetrue.com
  • Simplified gameplay - 1 tipster, single scrolling stock list.
  • More stocks, including some new ones
  • Achievements via OpenFeint
  • High Scores via OpenFeint
  • Much faster interface

I’m really excited about the OpenFeint integration. That’s going to give the option for sharing your scores in a much easier way, as well as opening up some possibilities for awesome features like Challenges that I’m hoping to see in 3.1 or 3.2. And OpenFeint should transition smoothly into GameCenter when Apple releases that sometime later this year.

All in all it’s been a long time coming, but now I’m on a platform that should make it a lot easier to do updates more frequently and provide a much nicer user experience. It should be out soon, so follow us on twitter to stay up to date!
