    And watch TA keep promoting the lame flappy bird game. They can't go 2-3 days without saying it in some way or another. Hopefully they can promote this app like flappy. Best one today!!

    Admittedly I haven't been this excited about a new IOS game in a long time.

    It was already bought the moment I saw the trailer :) I'll play it tonight and post impressions the moment I can.

    What's this about no auto-map though? It's not a deal breaker but I'd like to know more about this (i.e. why it's not present and if there are alternatives other than using memory and/or pencil and paper).

    Hmm... not sure where that was mentioned, but Coldfire Keep does have an auto-map. Back on the first page of this thread there's a video that the OP has posted with gameplay footage. Pretty sure he/she opens up the map a couple of times while wandering around.

    People were very upset with me for not including a map in Descend RPG, so I made sure to include one in Coldfire Keep. I didn't want everyone to get mad at me again :(


    In other news, if you follow Doom on Twitter, he's running a comp at the moment to win copies of the game. Check it out if you're a Twitter-er. And follow me and Josh while you're at it! :)

    Hey Steve,

    I just wanted to say thanks for making this game. I have only watched the
    trailer but, it looks really great!

    I bought my Ipad to play Grimrock but, it may never come out ,so you can
    imagine how excited I was to see this game in development.

    Thanks for the hard work and I really hope this game does well so you
    can continue to produce games like this one.

    Cheers!

    Just catching up on this game... Can anyone tell me how many character classes there are? If still only 4 with 4 character slots in party, where does the strategic depth come into play? Do they have skill trees or some other way to customize them?

    Are all encounters / dungeon layouts handcrafted? Is loot predetermined or random?

    The game uses old-school D&Dish classes: i.e. fighter/thief/cleric/mage.

    Everything is hand-placed in terms of dungeon layout, loot, etc.

    Hey, the game is out on the UK App store, but you need to search 'crescent moon games' and go through the list there. :)

    For some reason, searching Coldfire Keep yields nothing.

    That's odd, I did that exact search 5 mins ago and got nothing, I'll try again.

    Edit- nope, still not showing when I search for crescent moon games :(
