I'm pretty sure Fargoal 2 will dethrone Fargoal as the champ of iOS roguelikes. In 2016 when it's finished.
From this thread in 2017 - You said it would be out in 2016!!! Congrats on the World Record! It's well deserved. Those Guinness World Records have changed a little from the ball-balancing, marble-eating, weight-related records from my day.
Congrats to Paul! I always loved Guiness Book of World Records, so it's way cool we got in even though the Games edition sure seems like it would be more fluid than most subjects! Yep, once Fargoal 2 is released we have a good chance to hold our title! Jeff
Have you given any thought to trying Kickstarter? I've noticed a few bigger name gaming devs doing it now, and hey, why not you? You could probably get front page billing on a few prominent sites, drive some traffic over to kickstarter, and bam! Bazillions of dollars for development! Goal: 7500 * $2 gets you the game * $5 gets you the game and a sweet wallpaper * $10 game, wallpaper, code for Fargoal 1 (for yourself or friend) * $25 game, wallpaper, code, signed poster (..etc..) Extended Goal: 15000 - Guaranteed DLC in the form of ... whatever. Anyway. I'm serious - have you considered it? What's the risk, pick a goal and if you don't make the goal nobody's credit card is charged. If you *do* make the goal, yippee!
question... if i wanted to support you, which Fargoal should I buy? regular one or Legends? (im looking at legends cuz of Universal support... BUT i want to support you)
Whichever one makes the most sense to you. Really, I'd say Legends because it's universal. The two current Fargoal 1 versions will diverge further once Fargoal 2 is ready. Thanks!
Yep... we're still the developers no matter who publishes the game. Legends was originally released for iPad only, and then recently we decided to go universal.
Is Fargoal 2 now completely on ice or even dead? I am preparing a private funeral here already... people can join in on the 25.03. to play Fargoal 1, the day where the last gameplay-relevant update came out two years ago...
No, it's not dead. There are some internal things being worked out and some other project being done, so I can pay my bills. It will be out, eventually.
So limbo then. That's a shame. Guess you've got to do what you've got to do but, man, that was some wait getting to here.
It's not in Limbo as that suggests that it's stuck, with no plans, indefinitely, and it's not...it's getting done. As we have always said.
You can call it "limbo" or whatever you like, but it's pretty par for the course with small teams, and guys like me taking on multiple projects. I've invested a metric shittonne of effort into Fargoal 2 though, and it will get to the finish line. It's a BIIIIIIG project for basically one guy. That's all there is to it. I'm working on a project with rocketcat games right now, and am juggling that with other Madgarden projects as well as Fargoal 2. So that's the basic state of the union.
:O Is this the Harvest Moon/Silent Hill mashup? The Dwarf Fortress-style game? Or something else entirely?
