Happy birthday Silversword

I will celebrate the 10th birthday of Silversword on February 13th 2021. And I invite you to join me 🙂 Never thought that my hommage to The Bard’s Tale series would last so long. Thank you very much dear players. For each line of code the game has been downloaded once. Sound’s cool, doesn’t it? And it still pops up in the App Store’s Top 100 from time to time. That doesn’t mean that you will get rich, tho 😉 Don’t expect too much if you happen to be a game developer and want to publish something. But of course you should publish! I am still waiting for a remake of Wizardry 6/7 on mobile. Might & Magic 4/5 would also be a blast.

Enjoy the game as I do! Thank you again. Yours, Mario.

Let’s stick together!

Difficult times, my friends. It’s tempting to think about how life was some months ago. But life’s a stream.
Every day we’re standing in a time capsule – Racing down a river from the past – Every day we’re standing in a wind tunnel – Facing down the future coming fast!

So let’s stick together and share the good things in life:

Send me a postcard from where you live or from a place you care about – and I will send you a postcard in return with a dedication to you and your beloved ones. Without you, Silversword wouldn’t have become the game it is – thank you very much! I humbly bow before you.

Need to stay inside? No need to despair. Silversword (and Lootbox RPG) is on discount for the next days so that you won’t get bored while occupying your sofa.

Chart Position 35

Silversword is about to celebrate its 9th anniversary. Today I discovered that it’s on position 35 of the german RPG charts! Thank you all! 🙂

Them nasty rats!

I never understood why the very first quest – the one with the rats in front of the armoury – caused so much trouble for so many players. Tonight I’ve (hopefully) finally found the missing piece in this puzzle. And with the next update, these troubles should be gone forever (fingers crossed).

Well, in this case, a seemingly simple string to integer conversion just didn’t work out. And because this fight seemed to be like the others, I always overlooked what was wrong right in front of me. Now I know better – this combat is interestingly the only one in the whole game that does things different. Maybe it’s because it was one of the first combat scripts I’ve ever written for Silversword. Being a programmer can be hard… 😉

Happy anniversary!

To celebrate my birthday and the 8th anniversary of Silversword, my games are for free for a short time! Happy playing!
