Description

  • * Includes live wallpaper! **

    This Living Worlds app is a modern recreation of a set of dynamic pixel art scenes first published in the early 90s as part of an "illustrated personal organizer" named Seize the Day, and seen as screenshots across the Internet since then. These scenes were created by Mark Ferrari, legendary artist from such classic games as Loom and The Secret of Monkey Island as well as the recent Thimbleweed Park. Now, 25 years later, Ian Gilman, the original software developer, has resurrected the Living Worlds, with Mark's support and additional code from Joseph Huckaby. There may be copycats, but this is the only authentic version from the original creators!

    This release of the app contains all twelve of the original scenes in their full glory. The sun rises and falls in real time, storms pass through, flowers bloom, the moon and stars cross the sky. Smaller details like chimney smoke and animal footprints come and go. The image "lives" throughout the day, drawing you in, suggesting stories, and rewarding quiet observation.

    In addition to the classic graphics, each scene includes a new "Logbook" story written by Mark Ferrari and ambient soundscapes designed by Ian Gilman.

    Join us for this 25th anniversary celebration of these unique artworks!

Absolutely breathtaking art by Mark Ferrari, the app does a great job at updating his calendar for a new age 30 years later, well worth the money

Didn't work for the lockscreen on Pocophone F1, but it's my home screen now. Awesome art. Should have an option to choose your background instead of being stuck with the one you're supposed to use that month, though

Developer Response

You should be able to switch scenes in the app whenever you want. If you're having trouble with that, please email me at ian@pixfabrik.com and I can help sort things out!

No more scenes updates? Thanks ;) I Hope so :)

Developer Response

There were only 12 scenes in the original 1993 Seize the Day, so that's all the original art we have without creating new stuff. That said, it would be fun to do another round someday :-)

Really loved it! Still dream about your guys bringing it to PC via an Unity program, or a web page that can display them in Fullscreen, or anything that can be used with Wallpaper Engine or PC software. As for the Android version: It's nothing less than amazing. Pretty, detailed and not heavy on Battery or processing.
