Hey everybody!

I am super excited to announce that my latest GameSalad game, The Secret of Grisly Manor, has just passed 50,000 sales! Tomorrow is the four week anniversary of the game's release.

I just wanted to thank everybody for all of their encouragement and support, it really helps!

I am currently hard at work on a new, much longer adventure game that hopefully will be my best game yet!

    WOW! Did you switch the price at around 40,00 copies? Reviews have made me think about how long a game should be! People are not happy for paying £1.19 for over an hour of puzzles....jeeze...lol

    Well done :)

    That's great new, Joe!

    The Secret of Grisly Manor is a wonderful game: well thought out, and beautiful to look at. You had put a lot of time and effort into it and I'm not surprised that it's doing so well.

    Congratulations!

    I'm sure everybody here is looking forward to your new game.

    Excellent news, Joe; so very much deserved! The Secret of Grisly Manor is really well done. Here's hoping it's success continues for a very long time.

    And I, like everyone else, look forward to your next adventure game. :-)

    Wow how great is that!

    Can I ask you what apps you used to create those graphics?
    How long does it take to create an app like this?

    This is well deserved. Congrats on all of the success!

    This is great news! the game is awesome, cant wait for the next adventure game!
  • firemaplegamesfiremaplegames Member Posts: 3,211
    Thanks, everyone!

    @johancleve: I use Photoshop to make all of my graphics. All told, it took about two months to make the game.

    Joe, that's really wonderful. Keep up the good work.
    PS: are you planning to port your games to the Mac App Store? I think a game like SOGM would sell well there, because it would work on a Mac as well as it works on an iDevice.

    Great job FMG! Good things happen to good people! Next stop...100k sold!

    Congrats!
    I am really happy for you.

    It seems, you still can have success with GS :-)

    Just bought it.

    ----

    Critics:

    1. Title -- firemaple logo - title (why?)
    2. Title and logo switches direction. One is landscape left, other landscape right then back again.
    3. Textes disappear too quick. Would be better if they disappeared by tap or close button. Some of them can't be recalled by new tap (like chess figurine under the bed)

    ---

    No wonder it sells good. There is no GS logo in the beginning :-P

    When I play this game I lose track of time. I really feel like I am in the spooky house. It's really something special!

    Can't wait for another game like this!

    Congrats!
