    Ready for submission this weekend, memories of old return to life once again.
    Silversword will take you back to the "good old days" of solid CRPG experience, prepare to have a party full of heroes in your pocket.

    What does it look like, what does it feel like?
    See for yourself and visit us at the official Silversword website.

    The Lite Version will now hit the AppStore, followed by the Full Version just a few months later (sorry for that ;-) ).

    Features of the Lite (= Free) Version:

    - universal App, tested on iPhone 3GS + iPhone 4 + iPad
    - 7 races
    - 8 classes (Sorcerer, Wizard and Archmage available in the full version)
    - fights, quests, dungeons
    - many monsters and even more loot!
    - bard songs
    - world lore and poetry
    - ability of carrying your save game from the Lite Version over to the Full Version via iTunes Shared Folders

    Grab it, test it, review it - enjoy it!

    iTunes Link: http://itunes.apple.com/app/silverswordlite/id438663222?mt=8

    Also take a look at the latest teaser trailer.

    And last but not least: Join the discussion on our facebook page!

    Can't wait, we need more old style CRPGs on the market. Shame to have to wait months for the full version but thanks for the advanced lite.

    Looks fantastic!

    I think this is a perfect genre for conversion to smart phones.
     
  6. Update: The game is in review since yesterday. If all goes well, you can start sharpening your swords.

    So cool!
    I grew up with Bards Tale, Pool Of Radiance, Dungeon Master and all this stuff. Really looking forward to it.
    And my sword is always sharp & pointy, btw. :rolleyes:


    But why is the full vers "a few months" later? o_0



    P.S.: Just noticed the devs are from Germany, not far from the place I live. Will support them auf jeden Fall. :D
     
  8. Thank you Vovin :)

    Three Reasons:

    1. I have no idea how many people will buy and enjoy the full version. The Lite Version is supposed to give me some indication for that, although the download numbers will be much higher for the Lite Version is free.

    2. You will have the opportunity to influence the final game by giving feedback. Although the final ruleset is planned already, I am of course looking for new inspiration.

    3. My graphic designer simply isn't that fast :) I plan another 40-50 creature pictures, and they still have to be drawn...

    Greetings and regards

    Agreed. I've been waiting for a decent game in this genre from the App Store, but it just doesn't seem very popular.

    I think the thread title is very misleading, though. I thought it was an official port when I first opened the thread.

    I thought that this was a version of Bards Tale ................... doh!!!

    It looks good though and that trailer is impressive !!!!! Very professional.

    I will give this a go when it is out. Any updates? any day?

    Yeah... but it'll only be the lite trial version; full edition is "months" away per first post. Boo! (Still excited)

    Thread title and the announcement itself (months away from full version) are both misleading ...
