Silversword - Bard's Tale on the iPhone/iPad

[grackle]

Very nice game. He is definitely worth following IMHO.

Now this is fun. When a character is poisoned and you don't have the means to cure him, he loses HPs in real time as soon as the battle phase has ended. It's already so hard to navigate with the tiny pixel zones and busy UI that it becomes an almost impossible task to keep him alive.

I suggest not to play this unless you own an Ipad. It is really frustrating because it looks like an excellent Bard's Tale clone, with a few added convenient features, and yet nothing dumbing the game down. But this is just ridiculous on an Iphone.

Hello dear friends,

while collecting ideas for extending Silversword, I plan on working on a new title.
Silversword 2 - "Götterdämmerung" will become a full-blown 3D fantasy role-playing game in the style of Wizardry VII(I), in terms of ruleset and visualization.
Because I live in germany, I cannot start this on kickstarter.com
The german equivalent is startnext.de - a crowdfunding platform which I will use to get the necessary licenses for the 3D environment (Unity3D).

Please help me bring this to live. The first step is to collect 100 fans (no obligations).
You can visit the project page here: http://www.startnext.de/silversword2
I have tried to translate everything to english, and have added subtitles to the promotion video.

Become a fan and get this project started! As soon as there are 100 fans, the fundraising will begin. It will cover 90 days - after that, the target of 15000 Euro has to be reached, or else no funding will take place at all.

Thank you very much in advance
Yours faithfully
Mario

That was slightly adbotish but since it's relevant, I'll let it sit.
15000 euro is a fuckton of money though.

I haven't posted about this in a while. I'm considering getting a refurbished ipad with keyboard to play this. I just updated my iphone and checked my old group i did jack & crap with...

My hunter would normally be McDeath but I was fucking around with female names and chose a chick instead. Meh.

 

[Piotrovitz]

I have to travel 2 hours every day and I am terrible bored.

Read a fucking book like every civilized person does, don't be one of those mongoloids who watch movies or play games on trains/buses.

Their LootBoxRPG project randomly made it to Steam recently, so perhaps that gives an ember of hope towards an eventual PC port for this as well.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I think it'd sell ok. Note: in-game you can buy extra stuff with cash like gold, the expansion, bank extension for more stored items, a few special items, option to access your bank anywhere, etc. I guess that could be made available as DLC. Lord knows other companies sell costume DLC and shit.

 

[getter77]

Could probably just more or less orient such things the same way it was done for The Quest on the jump from mobile to PC sensibilities.

The 3d Inxile game no one cares about was released for mobile in the 11 years since this topic was made
Comes with the original bards tales, so there you go, you can play this officially now.

With an ipad + keyboard finally I am 1 step closer to i-gaming this old game.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Yep, works on ipad and I didn't have to repurchase the game. Appleapps just let me redownload and reset ingame purchases so my back is back to 1k item limit. Etc

Dog wasn't amused.

I tooled around a little but lost enthusiasm quick. I have some sort of blight of blah when it comes to gaming lately.
