Grargar: Night Dive said sthat Strife would be released here in the "near future", whatever that means. As for Darkness Within, it's already DRM-Free on ShinyLoot.
Well then, here's hoping Strife is soon, and that Darkness Within is pending. GOG may have dropped clues on various social media outlets, since they hate to tell us here.

Wishlisted. The first one was simplistic, but a lot of fun.

I rather enjoyed the first one. It didn't allow for random battles and resources were finitely limited, which was interesting. If you did poorly and had to spend all your earnings on replenishing your troops, I bet it was possible to get into an "impossible to win" kind of situation.

The first did get a little repetitive for a few of the middle battles, but its length was right -- too short for it to bother you. This looks like it's changing it up enough to keep it going.

I just hope they fixed the "finite troops available to purchase" issue (you could basically never get a fill cadre of priests) and increased map travel times.

With this being 'wizards' and seeming to focus on spells, I do think that underutilized feature from the first is also improved. (=Of the ~6 spells, I'd really only use 1.)

Roman5: Why does she look like a male?

When I saw the artwork at first I thought it was just a very androgynous dude

Absolutely disgusting

IAmSinistar: Must be you. This is clearly a woman to me.
Yeah, it`s clearly a woman! As long as a game character doesn`t look like Conchita Wurst, it`s okay for me. The only thing I could critizise ist that there are only slim half-starved women are taken as heros in the games industry.

Back to the game:
I have played it for a few hours now and it´s definitely fun. I like those HoMM style battles.

Matruchus: Eh, I really can't get in to these flash like/android/iphone games. Hoping really for some older strategy game to come to gog. Just saw that Steam rereleased SunAge a strategy classic - wonder when that game comes here?
Website says *remastered version*.Never heard of this game.

kparal: Would it be possible for GOG to add also an Android version? I don't want to play this on computer, but I would play it on a tablet.
No.

I don't think she looks like a male and in my opinion she's quite cute too. ;>

HypersomniacLive: from the game page:

Braveland Wizard is the second book of the Braveland series.

HypersomniacLive: Does this mean that one needs to play the first before this one?
I don't think so. The story of book one isn't noteworthy (imo - already forgot what it was about) and the controls etc. should be easy to learn/master even for those who haven't played book one. Disclaimer: I haven't played book two and my assumptions are based on my experience with book one.

You can but you don't have to :)

Nice, glad to see this one finally came out here.
Posted December 18, 2014
I definitely enjoyed the first one. I'm sure I'll get around to... ah hell, who are we kidding. Bought!
Posted December 18, 2014
It looks like a cheap knock-off of Heroes of Might and Magic, simplified and dumbed down for mobiles.
Posted December 18, 2014
Speaking of tablet-esque game sequels, is there a standalone version of Kingdom Rush Frontiers? If there is a proper PC version, that would be nice to have on GOG too.
Posted December 18, 2014
Also, the mobile version costs $2.41 (for me). What did porting the game to PCs add to the game that suddenly makes it worth $7?

IAmSinistar: Looks good. Have the first game but haven't played it yet, so this will probably have to wait until I've determined if I like the basic mechanics. Interesting that there's not a GOG bundle discount for folks who own the first game, but maybe GOG only does that for classics. I haven't really studied the pattern there.

Oh, and if what folks are saying about Darkness Within and Strife being released elsewhere, it would be nice if GOG got them too. Unless the publishers are adamantly opposed to DRM-free.

I take it as meaning "when the sales of the game dry up on Steam" because Night Dive seems to be more Steam focused now. Not insulting them for it because I don't know what their sales figures look like so it's possible that despite all the complaining that goes on Steam about oldies(kind of funny really, since over there you get complaints about old releases and here you get complaints about newer releases) that they may be seeing more sales or they just feel they have a bigger earning potental there or any other factor. Either way it seems Night Dive seems to have made Steam their top priority with GOG being second at best.

Nothing so far.

Cheers. :-)

And since you're on now, could you please clarify why you're not doing the updates anymore and why Hetman is not posting in the "What did just update" thread?
