    I think in the expansion there should be more different weapons and armors, different classes, character customization, skills that you can learn, horse riding anyware, on horse combat (for example, you could learn a skill, where your horse runs in circles around the target, autopilot then your character turns around and can fire arrows at the target). Some evasive manuevers, oh and I think there should definetly be more magic. One last thing, I think you should be able to get a homing amulet for each town (there should be more than one town). I think with those updates this would totally be the number one game in the AppStore! It's already in my list of best games played for any console! Good job guys!:D

    How bout an option to play the game in fps mode all the time. I find fps mode to be the better of the two. And maybe you could just take out the full model in fps mode to save some resources... Having only the hand and weapon animations shouldn't be too hard to do.

    I like 3rd person better because you can see whats around your character.
    sneaky goblins...
    maybe a little bit of a zoom option - in the settings for the camera -
    I don't want to bog Russ down though - he's already got a growing list!

    Really not sure yet - the balls are rolling though.
    I think Russ mentioned something about Christmas for an update -
    but I'm not sure what that means exactly, or what is truly going to be in the update. The only definite thing I know will be the Crystal network incorporated, which means, achievements, trophies, etc... Obviously that will be in Minigore as well. Things I would like to see are blocking and some updated combat stuff(fixes to that strength display issue) maybe a few new weapons, areas to explore, more high level beasts to kill in certain areas. That's me - I can't speak for Russ here.

    you guys already have the firstperson coded... just make it an active option cause everytime i get out of the menu or change areas it goes out of firstperson. i actually checked, you guys do cancel out all other animations. (as fas as I could tell, you only see the arms, you clip off everything else) So cant you guys just put it as an option?

    For an update, that would increase your sales a lot! People like competing against other players.... I think you should convince Russ into putting your ideas that you just mentioned for an update...
    Btw how often do you get paid for Ravensword? Because I would imagine that times aren't so well for you now w/o money...

    Your right - we don't get paid til February.
    I'm having to get other jobs to pay my bills until then, and work on Ravensword when I have the time.
    Luckily I found an artist who works for a good price, and Chillingo will front some money for it.
    Talking to Russ about what he wants to do for the update.

    Thoughts on Ravensword

    I'm really enjoying the game--my fav so far. Currently I'm level 17, visited almost all locations and completed many quests--I'm looking for the knight in the cliffs/caves now.

    Personally I think character devlopment and interaction with other in-game townsfolk really polishes up a game. That said I'd like to have small conversations with different townsfolk. Maybe they can even provide hints to secret areas in the game, etc. At least now they all tell me the same thing--go speak with so-and-so but more in-depth (not really random) conversations would be cool.

    I agree with everyone else as well that being able to associate stats and even buy more types of weapons with different attributes would be cool. The images don't really have to be different for each (a sword can be a sword) but different damage levels and abilities would be cool.

    More locations would also be cool--i.e. creepy swamp, more dungeons, maybe a lakeside ship to explore.

    A few new zones would be really nice, a spooky swamp being one of them would be top notch. any inside thoughts as to the short list that russ is gonna strangle you over?

    We're sort of all over the place right now - shooting ideas at each other.
    What about a "Bog of Eternal Stench" from the movie Labyrinth?
    Maybe 'Swamp of Eternal stench'

    In the latest build that I have from Russ, you can:

    Flip the screen
    Swipe sensitivity major increase
    Treasures in the town
    Strength display issue fix


    We're going over other ideas, and I'm checking out some artwork from our new artist Mark. (for the expansion)

    I think the update will be around xmas time.

    its been mentioned, we even had a poll going for it in the upcoming games section. It was outvoted by more than 2:1 for an expansion pack first though.
