Good week. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #8 Appletini, May 1, 2013 Yep, this is how you re-invent a classic gamebook while not turning it into some kind of action/platformer abomination (see: Deathtrap Dungeon, or those dire student efforts). Either recreate it directly and faithfully (as Tin Man Games does), or go all in, take a risk, and deconstruct/reconstruct. After inkle's Frankenstein, though, there was never really any doubt about the quality of Sorcery!

I can live with a not universal version, but not a x2 iphone on my ipad with so much text. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #12 Appletini, May 1, 2013 As per the thread title and app info, it's a universal title, supporting both iPhone and iPad natively. thevagrant Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2009 631 0 0 #13 thevagrant, May 1, 2013 Gosh, excitment makes me blind!

And I haven't even launched Eclipse yet, even though I bought it 24h ago. Not even speaking about Soul Sacrifice on Vita... dexter77 Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 389 0 0 #17 dexter77, May 1, 2013 instabuy for me too! MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #18 MidianGTX, May 1, 2013 Yeah it's a pretty good night tonight. I need this after the last couple of weeks we've had. Also picking up Paper Titans for my puzzle fix (plus, it's beautiful) and if we're really lucky we'll get one or two unknown titles popping up and surprising us. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,971 722 113 England #19 psj3809, May 1, 2013 On paper the quality is good but there only seems to be a couple of releases tonight, normally theres a fair few to check out MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #20 MidianGTX, May 1, 2013 I don't mind if it's a relatively small selection, it only takes one great game to be the best week of the month (or far less likely, the year) Also congrats on 5000 posts (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
