FreeCell Quest Released!
I'm Bryan Livingston and my latest game FreeCell Quest is released on Monday, October 19th,
There's thousands of FreeCell games but they all feature the exact same game play. With this game I wanted to take the addicting game play of FreeCell and innovate. So I took it and made it into an RPG, complete with combat, spells, leveling and a gigantic beautifully rendered map to explore. This game is NOT ANYTHING LIKE the Fairway Solitaire type of games.
I know it's not an ideal fit for most of the Steam user base, but lets try to get some more diversity of games and players on there. It's probably not going to ever turn a profit but I just had to make it because this unholy combination is just too good to pass up.
The mobile FreeCell Quest version has been very well received with a 4.7 star review average! With the Steam release we moved away from the free-to-play limited and ad supported shareware model used on the mobile version, since it's just not a good fit for steam. The $4.99 price seems like an fair and honest deal considering the hundreds of hours a typical Free Cell addict can spend playing the game. Please grab it while there's the 15% launch discount sale.
Top priorities going forward are adding side quests and a nicer tutorial to the game. Please take a quick moment to fill out the feedback survey at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PnqqtzXaus9q0eAydxYlWmhqvouh4JpuoxBD3Rodgjw/viewform to help me prioritize. Also please give it a thumb up if you like the game as future updates depend on our rating and sales.
You can download our press kit that contains screenshots, key art, etc. at http://mob0.com/FreeCell%20Quest%20Press%20Kit.zip
I'm happily available for any interviews, Q&As, postmortems, play with devs, podcast, streaming, BBQing or bar hopping that you'd like to do. Ask me anything!
Thank you for your consideration!

My top priorities going forward are adding side quests and a nicer tutorial to the game.
Here's a list of changes for the last minute updates we're doing.
Changes
Fixed Main Menu Crash Relating to Background Map (This error was reported by our fancy error reporting system and while we've not been able to reproduce it directly, we're pretty sure it's fixed. Maybe caused by multi-touching while launching.)

Fixed Linux and Mac Builds (Zero files were getting deployed.)
New Class System
Pick a class at character create. (WIll be adding a Potion of Class Changing soon)
