^In this interview, Alan Miranda says Ossian once started making an RPG for CD Projekt. Anybody know what that's about?

Add-on for the Witcher 1 - "Scars of Betrayal" ?

Edit: Looking at the age of your post I guess you figured it out by now...

Thank god my wife can finally play this on her Galaxy oh wait she doesn't care unless it's about matching colors never mind.

All the decent games on ios are ports (King of Dragon Pass, Baldur's Gate, Monkey Island). Why didn't they just build a full-length PC RPG and port it to mobile?

It's easier to port to PC from mobile than the other way around.

Terrible company breaking business plans?

 

[Infinitron]

They began to develop this game while PC RPGs were "dead" (around 2010, I believe). In the meantime, Kickstarter happened, but by then they were committed to mobile.

 

[Delterius]

Heh, I'd be crucified if I posted news about an iOS game on the Codex front page.

Where is your sense of adventure? If anything, you should make a newspost and then ask what was so wrong about it in Site Feedback.

Is it for PC yet?

PC RPGs are dead why bother?

 

[Safav Hamon]

This is surprisingly good, and not just for a mobile game. Why haven't they ported it to PC?

 

[Safav Hamon]

Just finished. It's better than Darkness over Daggerford and Mysteries of Westgate. For $1 it's a steal.

I'll bite. I only ever played Dragon Quest 2 on mobile and I like that quite a bit.

Perhaps I'll find a little time to try this out (I probably won't but you gotta aim for the stars).
Is the company still active? Are they currently working on anything else?

 

[Crane]

It once sounded like they were going to make a sequel to this game, but I think this company is dead.

Last I heard they are still working on a shadow sun sequel and a secret project that's mobile and pc.
