Just a quick update on The Accursed Crown of the Giant King. It’s out and available; Windows, Mac, iOS. Go get it, it’s great! (Opinions may vary).

I’m working on a minor update. The biggest thing is to add Mac support on Steam. Currently it’s only on the Mac app store. Otherwise just some minor fixes and updates.

After that I’d like to work a bit on map generation and UI, but those are bigger projects. Any feedback, send it my way!

The classic-Style Role Playing Game “The Accursed Crown of the Giant King” is now available, for Windows, Mac, and iOS! Try the first chapter “Danger in Greenvale” for free, which includes a full adventure and conclusion. Continue your adventure by purchasing chapters 2-4. See the website for download links.

Generations ago, the curse of the Crown of the Giant King finally splintered the ancient Kingdom of Giants. Now, a hundred years later, the curse has spread its malevolent influence south, and engulfed the Duchy of Northfell in ruin and despair. A band of heroes is needed to break the curse, and return peace and prosperity to the land.

The Accursed Crown of the Giant King features:

• Epic, classic-style fantasy adventure. Single player, controlling a main hero with a band of companions.
• Real-time with pause gameplay, for complex tactical combat with full control.
• Combines open-ended exploration with an overall quest. Dozens of locations and side-quests to explore and conquer.
• Deep, complex role-playing system, inspired by popular paper-and-pencil role playing games.
• Build the party of adventurers you want, with dozens of skills and powers, and hundreds of spells and items.

Hi Accursed Crown of the Giant King fans!

I was hoping to release in July but I hit a bit of a glitch with my Mac build. I think I’ve got it straightened out, and now looking at mid-August once I can get everything updated and tested. Soon!
