Yeah you can't judge a game, let alone many things based on it's length (unless you are a girl). I beat Braid in one normal day and that was epic. The song "Im on a boat" is barely 3 minutes long and it's epic. I read "a day in the life of ivan denisovich" in a day and that was epic. The world's longest breath hold is only 16 minutes 32 seconds set by Peter Colat and that was epic.
This is true. We need cash quickly, or we're going down in flames. We've risked everything for this... didn't start out that way, but a little at a time we got drawn further in. If there's money coming in, we'll be all over the expansion pack, and we're going to be coming here to ask you all what should be in it. The sooner we have the cash to pay people, the sooner we'll get started. If not, we'll be moving into a 1979 Econonline van down by the river, living on berries and catfish and learning the banjo, and you, gentle gamers, will be left to the tender mercies of megacorps, who will TELL YOU what you want, and have their army of thralls crank it out, whips cracking over their shoulders as they weep into their keyboards at their sorry fate. Buy it! Buy two! Get your gramma to buy it! Get your aunts and uncles and cousins to buy it! Shame jailbreakers into buying it! Strike a blow for freedom from the corporate behemoths!
Russ's humor is what keeps me going on a daily basis. Even though he hates getting 15 emails from me in the morning by the time he wakes up.
Won't chillingos help with the cost for a profit share? You should create a donation link through paypal, I would definetly donate to crescent moon gaming
I have to give Russ ALOT of credit - where credit is deserved. How one can single handedly program a 3d action rpg of this level is in my opinion unprecedented, so I bow before him. He can say whatever he wants.
but when do you think the expansion will be out, I'll probably buy it as it is released but not play it until expansion is released. (I like a full game, not a partial one, character customization pretty crucial to me)
i can finish elder scrolls main quest in 4 hours, thats not epic... 7-8 hours on an IPHONE by a small company IS EPIC, plus thats not including the expansion pack, who knows how many side missions will be available... I cant wait haha
Yeah, but you miss 95% of the game doing just the main quest. And I agree 7-8 hours for an iPhone game is pretty sweet, especially considering the price tag on apps.
Ign big preview on IGN http://wireless.ign.com/articles/103/1032696p1.html they haven't played it yet though. and I totally disagree with "100's of monsters" My latest count was almost 50 different characters in total, but I suppose throughout the game you will kill 100's of monsters (not all different of course) should be getting a new game play vid up soon, I'll get some more today.
omg you crazy me ...you scared me "revious generations of the iPhone will still play the game, but Ravensword will shed both framerate and some graphic effects as it downshifts." something like will crush every 2 minutes on ipod touch
Don't worry! The Beta ran fine on my iPod Touch 2G - and that on highest quality! (shaddows on and framerate target set low (less fps))
Good luck on your game! Your game is looks awesome, this is a testament that indie devs can still take on the big guns!
