The time has come, Runestone Keeper finally available on every relevant mobile platform!
Android version of Runestone Keeper follows freemium business model — you get the base game for free, but you're limited only to the default hero, The Guy. So it's basically a demo. To get access to Svafa and Hogg and remove ads from the game you just have to get any of the IAPs, be it a hero or a Runeword, and that's it.
If you haven't been aware Runestone Keeper has been available for iOS devices for 2 years now, so be sure to check it out too.
We hope that this way we will be able to grow the Runestone Keeper community with help of people who were unsure about paying for the full game without seeing it first, which is only fair. Thinking back that's, probably, how we should've released the game in the first place, but better late than never, right?
What's next for Runestone Keeper?
Right now we're in discussions about whether or not should iOS version get the same treatment the Andoid one got, — as in should we make a freemium version of Runestone Keeper for iOS or not. There's also a PS4 version that's ready from the, well, coding perspective. We only have to acquire ratings from PEGI and ESRB now, which, undoubtedly, going to take time. We will keep you posted as soon as there's something to share.

Announcing Unformed by Blackfire Games
Greetings travelers! The day we've been waiting for to happen for the last 2 years has finally come. Unformed, the project we've been working on behind closed doors in Blackfire Games is ready to be announced to the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSoVpkP6cHY
Unformed is a metroidvania set in a fantasy world inspired by Chinese folklore and Lovecraft’s stories, with challenging combat mechanics influenced by Souls series (Dark Souls, Bloodborne). Mystic intuition had drawn the heroine to the legendary land of immortality, yet upon arrival she finds out not being able to die is but an ancient curse. To survive in this world of madness and distortion, her only hope is to seek the truth of everlasting life from her own blood.
Unformed is scheduled to be released on PC mid 2018, with console versions (PS4 / Xbox One) coming later.
Read more about the game and a campaign on our Kickstarter page.
Yes, unfortunately we have to rely on Kickstarter campaign to continue development; Runestone Keeper was able to feed and sustain the team only for so long. Believe us when we say that we would've preferred not to do it.
Backer with tiers higher or equal than $15 will get a key for Runestone Keeper for the platform of their choice (if applicable).

Привет, друзья! Сустя почти ровно год с момент выхода игры, мы рады наконец сделать игру доступной для русскоязычного сообщества. Конечно, никто не запрещал и прежде играть в Runestone Keeper на любом из других доступных языков, но куда удобнее все же на своем родном, верно? Перевод осуществлен профессиональными программистами (своими силами), так что если где встретите ошибки, смело пишите нам по любому из доступных каналов связи. Без внимания не оставим.
Пока перевод доступен только на ПК, обновление для iOS должно выйти в течение месяца. Подписывайтесь на нашу группу Вконтакте, чтобы быть в курсе. Нам еще будет чем вас удивить.
Помимо прочего, в Runestone Keeper появилось два новых героя. Спасибо тем, кто был все это время с нами!
[Детали]
Герои — Добавлено 2 новых героя
Валеро
Нельзя отрицать того факта, что кровь дракона определенно имеет свои преимущества. Валеро никак не получалось понять мир вокруг него. А все что осталось у него от матери — редкий рубин; единственная подсказка о том, как он мог появиться на свет...
Лилит
Чернокнижник, призвавший Лилит в этот мир, оказался легкой добычей для проворного суккуба. С тех пор она никак не могла определиться с тем, чем ей заняться в этом новом мире: найти могущественного мастера, или вернуться обратно в Преисподнюю. Что бы она решила для себя мы уже не узнаем, поскольку слухи о таинственном Рунном Подземелье заставили Лилит задуматься о третьем варианте...
