Silversword

Sneak Peek – Beyond the Bard’s Tale

bard_xmasIt’s time to once more add new features to Silversword, to enhance your Bard’s Tale adventure spirit. Things to come (after christmas, with the next update): Weaknesses and immunities to certain elements like fire, ice, poison, divine magic etc. — this should make some challenges more interesting and give me more opportunities of adding new spells. In addition, some more creatures are waiting for you on yet uncharted lands… happy holidays and best wishes for 2014!

Thank you for your support
Yours faithfully
Mario

P.S. Title edited due to lacking english knowledge *shame*

New lands…

Lisa blinked and rubbed her eyes. Something was sparkling in the sand. Carefully, she reached down and grabbed the thing. A gold coin! She quickly looked around, then she cleaned the coin in the fabric of her dress. There was a ship on the front side, and the outline of a head on the back. Lisa could not see any details, because sea and sand had rubbed the coin.
She looked across the sea. A sudden longing seized her and pulled her into the distance. Did she just see dark shadows on the horizon? Shadows of palm trees, mysterious forests and mountains? Unexplored caves with sparkling beads and treasures waiting for her.
But she had to hurry, otherwise the others would probably be faster and she would once more be the poor silly girl.
Yes, this time it was her turn. The coin had found her. With the treasure she could give her family a better future. But first she would buy new clothes. And a private boat. And maybe a little hut on the beach.
When fisherman John got up the next morning to catch the fish for today, he was very surprised that his boat was gone. He was even more surprised when he got no response to the calls for his daughter…

Update 2.4.0 live!

This update is mainly a maintenance update 🙂

Issues:
– dealing with large bank vaults was optimized
– fixed an error that decreased your score upon class change

 

Update 2.3.9 is live!

The new update brings some changes:

This new version needs at least iOS 6.1! Do NOT update if you are still playing on iOS 5.x!

  • language can be changed from the settings screen in the game (you have to restart the game afterwards)
  • some language fixes for german
  • music plays now during bard songs, you can adjust the volume in the settings screen
  • game center activation is no longer available from within the game, you have to use your Settings App
  • you can now switch between the normal manual and the compendium (if you bought it)

I already noticed that the music volume slider is not right aligned on the iPhone 5, this will be fixed with the next update.

German translation finally online. More save slots with 2.3.8

Hello friends! The new update (2.3.8) is live! In addition to the german translation (you can switch the language via your Settings App), some changes might make the game more enjoyable:

– TRZP is now grayed out if nobody knows the spell when encountering a chest
– More save slots available!
– Adjusted the position of the target groups in the combat target selection

Have fun!
Kind regards
Mario

Update and translations in the works!

Good news for people who want more bank vault space: With the next update, two IAP will be made available that you can use to extend your vault. I hope you will enjoy it!

In addition, german and french translations are now in the works. Although the french translation will take more time, german should be ready within the next two months. This includes the translation of this website, too.

Kind regards
Mario

Upcoming: Modern game mode! Give me your points!

Modern stat developmentWith the upcoming update 2.3.5 I will introduce a new game mode, which is called “Modern”. You will be able to distribute 36 points to your base character stats instead of rolling over and over. In addition, you can choose which stat to raise when leveling. This feature is introduced due to popular demand and I hope you will enjoy it. The modern game mode will introduce a separate leaderboard in the Game Center.

Have fun!
Kind regards
Mario

Update 2.3.3 available!

We don’t stop! Silversword development continues until you (and I) run out of ideas 😉

So what’s new with the latest update?

  • multiple enemygroups keyboard selection keys work again (sorry for the inconvenience!)
  • the key “x” will now trigger “Cancel” and “Continue” buttons
  • Command Centre / Plane of Fire bug resolved, you now need to have the Disruptor to finish the expansion
  • more log entries added
  • Bank added to the Gateway to the Planes

Best wishes
Mario

Wikipedia author needed

Hello you!

Are you willing to write a wikipedia article about Silversword?

Preferably in another language than english, because that was already done: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silversword

Perhaps you can do it in french, or in the german wikipedia? That would be great, and I am going to give you credits in the Silversword manual + compendium.

Many thanks and kind regards
Mario
