Looks like Get Set does pre-rendered, like old Keep was. The main problem with 3D is you can't easily bake the shadows, etc, onto the models, and iPads are too slow to do the full shadowing in 3D. I kinda regret the amount of flexibility the wizar…

That could be a song!

Hi there, The easiest thing to do would be to uninstall Hamsterball and reinstall it. If you have lost your key and need a new one, go here and re-request one. If the files have been corrupted, there won't be a way to recover them. Do you mean u…

I try not to publicly say anything non-canon. If I see anything out of place in the wiki, I'll let you know. :)
-
Thanks-- I will need the help with Greenlight. I've been out of the loop on Steam, have no real idea how the whole thing works. The cynics say you can only get greenlit by spending more time making youtube vids and other advertising than you spent…

Hi War, Someone managed to snipe the domain name I was using to allow transfers of data in and out of the dark cloud. I'm trying to get it back at this time. If you want to transfer your data in the meantime, if you download iPhone Explorer, and …

Well, I learned a lot about the limits of the iPad2 from doing Cubic Castles. Most of Solomon actually has a lot fewer polygons that Cubic Castles (even though it looks like more, that's all tricks). So it IS possible iPad2 will be fully supported…
-
Yes, same musician! He's really good, and I can't imagine anyone else doing it. Basically, any phone that runs iOS7. Possibly iPad2's might be left out, or I might put in some settings for people to dial back the effects. Android will be support…

Yeah, there's traps-- even in iPhone1 Keep there were the "lock you in a room with the bad guys" traps. But since I'm not coding for iPhone1 any more, there's room for more variety. Only the rogue character will have a skill to actually detect the…
-
Oh, and Windslayer, no, the skulls aren't traps. The extra texture space just allows me to emphasize Solomon's lousy taste in interior decorating more.
-
And yeah, this game will be "Solomon's Keep, only more-so." I'm not going all Diablo3 here. :D
-
It's still going to be small and clean. It'll just have more visual variety, BUT, I have played a lot of modern RPGs and I see that they are getting too cluttered, causing it to be difficult to distinguish what can and can't be interacted with, and…

I'll get some together for you. Give me a few days (and remind me if I don't)... I have had an intense week of working on my other obligations but when I swap back to Solomon I'll zip it up and link it for you.
-
Nope, no need at all-- play it all you like! When I'm closer to launching the next game, I plan to put out Dark as a freeware unfinished game anyway. However, don't distribute it. I hope to use it as promo for the next game at the right time.
-
Okay-- if it costs money, though, know that I have a lot of server space that's just doing nothing right now. I don't mind hosting it one bit.
-
What's involved in making a Wiki? Like, do you need me to host it? I've never looked into this.

Just a tiny scrap of forest in-between... the real bulk of the grimwood is mostly east of town.
-
It looks a bit darker on these pages because it's surrounded by all white. But of course there's a gamma slider!
-
I am being very careful with giving out game details because it was all my youtube videos and announcements previous that got me noticed before. Those who played the beta of Solomon Dark, the work done in there is not going to be wasted. At the sa…

Well thank you very much! Keep is a game I have been making notes on ever since 2001-- it was the first game I was going to do after I finished my very first game, Eggsucker. One day I'll post some history and some screenshots from those way-back 6…
-
Not dead, but my twitter WAS disabled for "suspicious activity" and it took me a long time to get it back up. Twitter is the worst way to ping me though.
-
BTW, you SHOULD be able to hit the old forums in the Wayback Machine. Which might end up being the last ditch effort to recover the data. See, what happened was, when I took the forums down it was because I got hit by some massive spam attack that …
-
You can't go inside, but you can knock on the door... That drain is the village well-- a quest plot. iOS Keep was a very small game because it had to work on iPhone 1 ... the new version will actually have you interacting with villagers as time go…
-
Boneyard is exactly Keep, except it's an arena game where you just try to survive as long as you can. It doesn't have the exploration and questing, but if you're just in the mood to shatter skeletons, try it! After all, it's free! It's also a pre…

LordKronsell, thank you. Apple takes a fairly hefty percentage-- I'm not sure if part of my 34-page publication agreement forbids me from naming what that percentage is. I never thought of putting together a donation place, but now I will :) ...
-
Check out the screenshot above... It is not a Mage walking into that keep. :)

There will always be spammers. This forum will kill a lot of them, but what a lot of spammers do is have a human being set up an account and then record it in a database for use by a bot later. This forum has a lot more tools to manage that than m…
-
Yes, as of this time, the next Solomon game is being designed as a client/server system (even when single player) which means you can run a server, like a minecraft server, and have people connect to it.
-
Ah, glad to see you Chaos. Hey, it might take me some time to dig your old posts out of the spam that eventually destroyed my old forums. You don't have all that data mirrored anywhere, do you? And yes, that's a warrior walking up the ancient ston…

2014 was fairly bad for Raptisoft, between lawyers and spammers, but hoping all that garbage is past now. Back in my loveless early 20's I always wanted to write a Valentine's Day poem in the style of Poe's "The Raven." Oh this day so dark and drear…
