Hey we just announced our upcoming old-school turn-based RPG Antharion for iPad, PC, and Mac. Youtube Preview Ari, Antharion Team Leader http://orphicsoftware.com Check out Antharion's Kickstarter Page
Watched the kickstarter video..the monsters and backgrounds look great but the character sprites are look a little...'out of place'.
This is definitely something I would love to play on the IPad! The fact it is open ended is cool as well. Please have a good story to go along with it . Books and journals could be found that talk about other adventures' quests or expand on the lore of the world you are creating. Your characters could even learn a new spell or ability if they read a certain book. I'm excited to see the full game come to the IPad ! Good luck
Story, lore, and background are very big to this project. We really wanted to make a living-breathing world and this requires all of those things. We'll have tons of books scattered throughout the game; some will contain learnable spells, others lore, and others useful crafting recipes.
Looks Great! I am not sure but i guess developer is bit inspired from ruenscape game, looking forward to try.
