I'm JUST getting started and working through a tutorial to get an overly-simplistic space shooter started (but that's okay, because a retro-styled space shooter with a certain 2.5D gameplay is what I'm after! LOL). I could go on with all I have dreamed and planned......
So as I'm exploring all that GSC has to offer, I came across this update. I must say, I'm very intrigued by the presentation. Reminds me of some kind of blend of "Luigi's Mansion" + "Professor Layton" (from what I make out in the video).
I am actually very astonished at what I saw! I didn't know even THAT much was actually possible with GSC - so you've definitely amazed me with your own work and what can be done with the editor, period. WELL DONE! You've inspired this growing developer. And I hope all goes well with your game. MAJOR kudos!
No plans for a 2nd one right now - but always a possibility. I feel the need for a short break from game-making, it takes a lot out of you!
Unfortunately Spooky Manor doesn't seem to have made much of a mark on the app store. It's disappointing because its certainly the best game I've produced.
On Google Play and Amazon it's fairing a little better though, so not all bad news!
I'm happy to announce the completion of my latest game 'Spooky Manor'!
Unfortunately it's too late for xmas so a mid-January release seems likely, but in the meantime I thought I'd share a little teaser video I've put together:
Hi @Digi-chain I've taken JWLW3A3MM3X4; much appreciated! I look forward to playing this, it looks mighty entertaining; and I'll leave a review for you. :-)
@Digi-chain I wish you got more sales in the appstore. Try FREE PR sites. Add small advertise banner in other games main menu.
@firemaplegames did that and it really works. He made secrete of girsly manor free and promoting The Lost city banner in main menu with good animations.
Hope it helps you to boost your sales. Because you deserve that.
I saw Mystery Light house on 196 in top free games in usa appstore. You can take chance and do what I suggest.
@creativeapps - Yes, I've made Mystery Lighthouse free on itunes in an attempt to boost sales. There's no banner in the game for Spooky Manor though, but its named at the top of the app description. At the moment there seems to be a small sales jump, and a big sales jump of Mystery Lighthouse 2 again! I'm hoping that if people went on to buy Lighthouse 2 and enjoyed it they'll then look to see what else I have.
Currently Spooky Manor is around about 75 in adventure games in the UK, so fingers crossed for a further climb!
It won't be free on Android - once you've made it free on Google Play you can't change it back to paid, so there's no point. Making it free on Apple works in giving my other games a boost whilst its free - and also raises its profile so that it sells better when it becomes paid again.

"You Will Never Leave" That means part 2 is coming out shortly?

@guilleface - The gfx are a combination of hand-drawn images, scanned and then finished off in Photoshop.

Cheers guys. Yes if you enjoy it please do leave a review, as we all know a few good reviews really do help to sell games! Thanks!
Hopefully this'll get it out onto a fair few phones and make people aware of the game.

@quantumsheep - there's a walkthrough on youtube if you need it!
Keep up the great work!

I just downloaded, I am from Austria. Sending you a important message concerning the description!
Hi @Digi-chain
Like QS, I got stuck towards the end but found the walkthrough to get me going again.
Anyhow, finished earlier today; all in all, really enjoyable! My only disappointment was that it was finished, and no more to play.... :-)
I'll leave a comment/rating on the UK iTunes store soon.
