Over 6 years ago, I launched dAmnMessenger with the intention of bringing the deviantART Message Network to Android phones everywhere where people could about art and engage in their community. While it served its purpose in some ways, it unfortunately didn't get as much traction as I had hoped, and I noticed that a lot of deviants switched their no longer use dAmnMessenger. At it's peak, dAmnMessenger had 1000 simultaneous installs, but now it is well bellow 500 and active installs would be much lower.

Today, I have unpublished dAmnMessenger from Google Play. Over the past month, deviantART had upped their server version and unfortunately that small change has broken dAmnMessenger. 

As time goes on, I plan on focusing on other projects, which sadly no longer are associated with deviantART. Sorry for this bad news, but unfortunately my codebase is too out of date to get to compile. Maybe one day I can bring it back.

If you have an iDevice, check out :iconpickley:Pickley's iOS app: dAmnMobile 3.

For those unfamiliar with Conway's Game of Life, it is a simulation with 4 simple rules (Taken from Wikipedia):
  1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if caused by under-population.
  2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
  3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overcrowding.
  4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
I was bored so I decided to make it with simple logical gates.  I ended up making an 8x8 board with wrapping edges.  
Here is the outcome:

I may or may not upload a brief video of it, IDK, we'll see.  Anyway, that's all.

Hello everyone,
I have some bad news, I have decided to discontinue devStash2.  

What does this mean?
You will not be able to download devStash2 and will no longer receive updates.  

Why is devStash2 being discontinued?
  1. It is currently broken.  It causes crashes and there are no folders.
  2. I do not feel that it is up to my quality standards.  It needs to be fully redesigned (visually and programmaticly) and that would take time.  
  3. I make practically no money on it.  It is just not worth my time to work on it at the moment.  

Will devStash2 ever return?
Possibly in the future.  For now, assume it will not for a long while, if at all.  

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for your continued support,
Karson Kimbrel

Hello everyone!

Today I am announcing something new for dAmnMessenger - a BETA tester group.  

What is a BETA test group? A beta test group is a limited group of users that will be testing unreleased versions of a product (in this case, dAmnMessenger). The main goal of this group is quality assurance - Becoming a BETA tester means you will be up against app crashes, app freezes, app malfunctions, strange behaviors, and more.  Your job will be to report all crashes and bugs to me. Doing so will allow me to make sure the app is up to snuff before pushing it to the general public.

Becoming a BETA Tester for dAmnMessenger is by invite only.  To be considered send me a note with the subject line "dAmnMessenger BETA Tester Group", in the message body include your E-Mail, your first name, your age, about how many hours per week you use dAmnMessenger, are you a dAmnMessenger LITE user or a dAmnMessenger Pro user, and why you would like to be considered for becoming a BETA tester.  Remember, not everyone who applies will become a BETA tester.  You must be 18 or older to be considered!  Please, do not lie or I'll call the Cyber Police on you. ;) 

Also be aware: this is NOT a paid position, being a BETA tester does NOT entitle you to anything, and you can be removed from the BETA tester group without notice. 

Thank you all for your continued support and good luck!
