By Joe Dever | Published March 12, 2014

March 11, 2014: Forge Reply collect the Golden Dragon awards in Rome, at the headquarters of “Auditorium MAXXI” – the National Museum of XXI Century Arts.

March 11, 2013: The Italian Videogame Developers Publishers Association (AESVI ) presented the second Italian edition of “The Golden Dragon Awards”, the official awards dedicated entirely to excellence in the world of video games in Italy.

The “Golden Dragon” is based on the established industry awards of other major countries, such as the American Golden Joystick awards and the British BAFTA Video Games Awards, which are greatly valued and appreciated by the gaming community worldwide.

The Golden Dragon is designed to reward the best video games published during the year and now includes 17 categories and a special section devoted to Italian video games.

A highly qualified jury chose the pick of nominees in each category, taking into consideration all the games released during the calendar year 2013. In February, the same jury determined the winners, which were announced during the final awards ceremony in Rome at the prestigious headquarters of ‘Auditorium MAXXI ‘– the National Museum of XXI Century Arts.

On behalf of the development team , Forge Reply, I am delighted to announce that ‘Blood on the Snow’ was the winner of the two most prestigious award categories:

Best Italian Indie Game of the Year

Best Game Design

Thank you all for your wonderful support for Blood on the Snow.

For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Gary Chalk’s Gun Dogs

By Jonathan Blake | Published December 6, 2013

Gary Chalk and Tin Man Games have released a new gamebook app named Gary Chalk’s Gun Dogs.

So what is Gun Dogs and why should you read it? Jamie first approached us in 2011 and proposed a number of titles in collaboration with Gary. Gun Dogs shone out as something rather special and they both began work designing the world, with Jamie putting down the words and Gary sharpening the pencils and mixing the paints. It takes the traditional fantasy world of magic and monsters and twists it around a little, adding in a semi-renaissance flavour and most importantly the invention of guns! The story sees you charged with treason against the Empire and placed on death row. The Emperor has offered you a choice: die a slow and humiliating death or serve as a Gun Dog, an expendable soldier assigned impossible missions and tethered by a collar. Not just any collar mind you, but a magical device around your neck that will choke you to death if you disobey your orders. The story takes you across The Empire from Lentica to your destination at Fort Wylde, on a mission in which you meet many strange inhabitants of the world and visit bustling cities and dangerous forests.

More information available on the Tin Man Games website.

Lone Wolf 27: Vampirium Published!

By Jonathan Blake | Published September 29, 2013

The Claw of Naar is the evil wand of power used by Agarash the Damned during his ancient conquest of Magnamund. Legend held that it had been lost forever in the molten ruins of Naaros, but now it has resurfaced, and its dread return heralds a dawn of disaster for the peaceable nations of Magnamund. Your allies, the wise wizards of the Elder Magi, have the power and the means to destroy the accursed Claw. But they do not possess it.

In Vampirium, you must venture into the hostile land of Bhanar and snatch the Claw from the clutches of the evil Autarch Sejanoz. Can you deliver the Claw safely to the Elder Magi … or will you be destroyed by the terrifying wrath of the vampire lord Sejanoz?

Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf – Blood on the Snow

By Joe Dever | Published August 14, 2013

I’m very pleased to announce that the forthcoming (November 2013) Lone Wolf iOS / Android game will officially be called “Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf – Blood on the Snow”. It will comprise four games (or ‘Acts’) that can be played either individually, or consecutively as a progressive four-part saga. Act 1 is sub-titled “Rockstarn”. Acts 2 – 4 are sub-titled “Sunken Forest”, “Shianti Temple”, and “V’taag – The Dark Tower” respectively. Forge Reply is the developer, and BulkyPix is the publisher. Story and game text by yours truly!

I must say I’m delighted to be working with Forge Reply and BulkyPix on this unique game experience. It’s a strangely wonderful situation to be in where everyone involved with the production and publishing of this game grew up reading my Lone Wolf adventures. The knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm that both teams embody have made it a very satisfying and special project for me to work on. I’m proud of what we have created, and I’m hopeful that it will establish a new benchmark for quality interactive entertainment on smart phones and tablets.

Here’s the latest trailer which will be presented at this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, later this month (August 2013).
