Watchers

First of all, Spellsword is out since about a week! And thanks to all people who have already bought it or want to do!
Spellsword is available on the Apple App Store for any iOS device and costs only 0.99$.
The game is an arena based hack n slash game. You have to slay tons of monsters in small arenas and have to upgrade your skills and can buy equipment to get stronger.
A content update with a new arena, new monsters and new spells is already in progress and will be available soon.

Caused by technical issues the game is not available in Germany, Switzerland and Austria at the moment, but will follow this week.


Development:
Spellsword were able to reach top 50 on the US App Store for a few days. Also we were able to reach #1 in the category "RPGs" in about 10 countries.
We worked 3 months on it with 2 developers and 1 composer.
All I can say is that we earned enough to continue. It's a solid continuation after we got weakened by low sales of our first Project "Terra Noctis"! Sadly most
people think game development would be a goldmine, only because some games like angry birds or fruit ninja earned millions. In reality only 20%
of all devs earn enough to continue! This number is from an interesting statistic I've read yesterday. [link]
If you ever plan to start game development some time you have to know that it's one of the toughest businesses out there with a huge amount of competition.

Our next step is to keep the sales at a solid level with releasing free content updates for Spellsword.

About Android or PC:
Since we don't have the possibility to pay for ports, it will be only available on iOS. I'll inform you if something changes about that in the future.
