Studio journal
Updates from Broken Man Studios
Release notes, testing milestones and visual progress from a one-person independent studio. No filler schedule — only updates when something meaningful changes.
Our next chapter: iPhone and iPad
QuiltMath 1.5.0 (24) has been submitted for App Store review. Its iOS release focuses on visual previews and PDF saving; direct printing and full-size cutting templates are deferred.
KnitMath 1.0.0 (3) is in internal TestFlight testing after improvements to calculations, project recovery and device testing. FrameBench's iOS adaptation is still to be assessed.
Older entries below describe the versions and platforms available at the time. See each project's page for its current direction.
QuiltMath 1.5.0 expands Premium and adds Extra
Four new Premium calculators bring the complete set to twelve, each with a visual guide and focused print or PDF sharing.
The new Extra Quilt Layout Designer adds a live uniform-grid preview and joins blocks, sashing, borders, backing and binding in one saved, printable plan. Version 1.5.0 is active in Google Play Closed testing.
Visual guides and printable plans arrive in 1.4.2
This release added visual guides to the eight calculators available at the time. Premium users could open each guide as a clean full-screen Visual Plan, print it or share it as a standalone PDF.
Broken Man Studios opens its Facebook Page
The studio now has a Facebook home for concise project notes, release updates and work-in-progress images. QuiltMath remains the first released project, while the studio identity stays open to different kinds of future work.
QuiltMath 1.3.3: icon, accessibility and Premium reliability
The 1.3.3 build corrects the launcher icon on devices that displayed it as a plain square. It also improves screen-reader support and makes Premium ownership available more reliably immediately after app start.
The Android release continues through Google Play testing before public availability.
How QuiltMath checks its calculations
The calculator logic is separated from the interface and checked with automated examples, edge cases and device-level review. Every result also states its practical assumptions.
