Happy birthday Silversword

I will celebrate the 10th birthday of Silversword on February 13th 2021. And I invite you to join me πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ˜‰ 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.

Send it to:

Stay at home and play!

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! πŸ™‚

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… πŸ˜‰

Happy anniversary!

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

Lootbox RPG available!

The satisfying dungeon crawler is here for your grinding pleasure.

Lootbox RPG is a classic dungeon crawler. At first sight some of you may say β€œoh no, another rogue clone”. But it is not. I hate rogue, because when you do something stupid, you die. And the game is over. Very frustrating.

Lootbox does things different.

“Oh no, an incoming call!”

no real time decisions, you can safely interrupt the game at any point.

“So late already?”

no need to exit the game, a real world clock can be switched on optionally.

“What? I AM DEAD?”

No permadeath, this is no rogue-clone. You can load/save at any time, or return to safety without losing all your money or equipped items.

“Damn! I died and I forgot to save!”

The game is autosaved every level, don’t panic.

“If I only could teach those damn rats what I’ve learned…”

You can come back to your old friends and show them your uber gear.

“Nice game, but my smartphone is over 5 years old…”

The game runs well on older devices, happy playing!

“Where can I buy money?”

Nowhere. This game is OFFLINE and there is NO Pay-To-Win mechanism. Sorry.

“Where is the chatroom?”

There are enough messengers already in the world, right?

“Where do I have to register?”

Register what? This game is OFFLINE. I don’t need your data, thanks anyway.

“Where is the premium version?”

There isn’t. Buy once, play endless.

Winter is coming! Enjoy Silversword with a cup of tea and some biscuit

The cold season is approaching. How about a visit to warmer places, like The Inferno? The kind demons there will surely have means to end cold feet and freezing hands. And if all else fails, perhaps a flying visit to Maruziel will cast a smile upon your… ehm… someones face. Hot battles and lots of lava will make you longing for a cooling, promised! Right now, the game is at version 2.7.0 on the App Store and waiting for you. So get ready player one!

Update 2.6.6 incoming

The upcoming update 2.6.6 will contain a permanent coordinates display above the settings icon. This enhancement was made specifically for those players who want some help when navigating without the map function. In addition the cross-hair symbol in the top-right corner now contains a voice over which tells you your current position.

Gamepro Award 87/100

Gamepro.de 87 / 100 Points!

"I got goosebumps while reading through the manual for the first time. iOS devs just don't make games on this scale. It's such a poetic app."

All the best,
