kickfly blog

To everyone visiting our site, kickfly.com - things are going good here. We’re working on a series of updates that will make you happier - things like little bugs in the visuals, etc. And a couple of most requested features as well (drumroll, please).

So please stay tuned…

Also, a very major conference for startups just got back to us with some encouraging tidbit on what we are doing, which has us excited as well.

And as always, send your feedback to info@kickfly.com.

thanks for visiting!

This is a tip for our users - a little thing we just implemented!

As you know, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate around your scene.

But, did you know that if you hold the SHIFT key down, and press the arrow keys, you’ll change the way you move!

In particular:

- By pressing SHIFT and the up arrow, the camera appears to look upward.

- By pressing SHIFT and the down arrow, the camera appears to look downward.

-  By pressing SHIFT and the right arrow, the camera will pan to the right.

-  By pressing SHIFT and the left arrow, the camera will pan to the left.

Try it on one of the many favorite scenes that you might find at kickfly.com/explore/  !

June was a nice month for us.

Everybody, a lot of new stuff is coming out from kickfly. We’ll have the small updates (maintenance, bug fixes, etc.) and then things like more themes (your suggestions please!) and finally, more features that you’re asking for.

Simply put, kickfly 2.0 is coming.. (or maybe more like 1.1 : )

We read every single email that comes in, and it takes some time to figure out priorities, but we *will* get to everything.

Thanks for visiting. Please send your feedback to us (to info@kickfly.com, in case you’re wondering)!

We’re posting updates to the site.

One of my favorite updates is that our Explore page now lets you view scenes created by users from more than the last two days.

So, for example, check out:

( Michael Jackson and farrah fawcett both died today! I don’t have anything else to say on the subject, except that I am shocked like everyone else about MJ. I remember being amazed at how many great tracks were on the Thriller album. Aside from that I wasn’t the hugest fan of his later music…  )

Look at this list of fun web apps.. we made it to No. 1 : )
