I thought there would be a "coming at midnight" thread this week. Seems like there are several new games, maybe they aren't deemed good enough, or there aren't enough of them? psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #4 psj3809, Dec 31, 2014 Wait an hour so I can buy it ! Everytime I try and buy this the release date moves yet again. There'll be a new games thread tomorrow plus this game had been mentioned on other sites already bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #5 bsabiston, Dec 31, 2014 You're a moderator -- are you sure there will be a new games post tomorrow? I can leave it in the store. It's just that this site is the only one I follow and I love that Wednesday "upcoming" thread. Are you sure it was mentioned on other sites? AFAIK nobody even knows about this game. I guess that's another reason I was looking forward to the Wednesday list. slamraman Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Aug 27, 2011 2,511 8 38 #6 slamraman, Dec 31, 2014 i want this. bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #7 bsabiston, Dec 31, 2014 Alright, I'm leaving it up. Maybe TouchArcade will be kind enough to consider it a soft launch and list it in next week's new releases. @slamraman I'll send you a promo code, let me know what you think of the game.

I thought it just meant a not-very-well-publicized launch You'll should see it in the store, I am not going to take it down. I'll PM you a promo code as a Happy New Years gift. Anyone else who wants a promo code, I've got 7 more so just post here and I'll PM you.

And Happy New Year for you too!!! i'll post impressions asap, but i'm sure it's a gem... is my kind of rpg thanks again!!! bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #13 bsabiston, Dec 31, 2014 Sure man you're welcome. Have you played Gurk III? That's a good one. I kind of borrowed their control scheme. Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #14 Gwarmaxx, Dec 31, 2014 played and finished it, excelent old school rpg... have you played 9th Dawn? bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #15 bsabiston, Jan 1, 2015 I started it but never got very far. I should go back and try it again. I also liked "Fairune" quite a lot. It is minimal and closer to the Gameboy Zelda games, but still fun. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #16 psj3809, Jan 1, 2015 Love the huge huge homage to Ultima. Had a quick go and I'm really enjoying it. Looks to be a huge rpg. Going to enjoy playing this bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #17 bsabiston, Jan 1, 2015 Yeah I was pretty worried about ripping off Ultima -- I just am obsessed with those games. I sent it to Richard Garriott though, and he is totally cool with it. He is the man. cofunguy Well-Known Member Sep 24, 2012 825 0 0 #18 cofunguy, Jan 1, 2015 Last edited: Jan 1, 2015 Normally yes that is the case but since Apple is on a holiday break and you happened to release your app during this lull. Thus likewise for the TA crew. Does look great. I gather very Ultima like..how many hours of gameplay?? bsabiston Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2014 495 26 28 Austin, TX http://www.flatblackfilms.com #19 bsabiston, Jan 1, 2015 It takes me about 7-8 hours to play through it. But I know where everything is. I didn't do a whole lot of play testing with other people, so it could be that the whole thing is imbalanced/needs adjustments. Please let me know if you find that to be the case. In case anyone is interested, here is what Garriott had to say about the game. I don't think he would mind if I shared this. Also psj3809 let me know that the "How to Play" section is broken. I am working on an update ASAP but will probably leave it in the store, since the gameplay it is pretty self-explanatory for anyone that would be interested in this game.
