    Aralon 1, Ravensword Shadowlands, Mines of Mars, Rimelands, Pocket RPG, Shadow Blade, Almightree, Neon Shadow, Coldfire Keep, among a few others are well loved (by me) to let the turn-down Exiles make me lose hope in Crescent Moon Games.

    So far Exiles and the Space Chicks freemium conversion (cant blame them if the game wasnt selling well that they had to switch) are the only disappointments i have from CM, but everything else i have from them still delivered high quality gaming experience for me.

    Im still positive about Aralon 2 and even still waiting (hoping is more accurate i guess) for some form of content update that fills the Exiles world with stuff to do.

    Hey Josh and Crescent Moon, i just wanted to give some feedback/ advice for your upcoming aralon forge and flame game. I enjoyed aralon sword and shadow quite a bit the world was fun to travel had a TON of places to explore and caves as well. the towns even seemed lively. I think my best advice is to take what success or highlights you have done excellent on in the original aralon and add from there. Sure its awesome to have HUGE worlds and AMAZING graphics but the main focus i believe should be the story , ( gameplay i love the spells builds and combos of aralon which made it fun) the quest and many NPC in the game. The ability to attack anyone you want even guards or king knights bandits dragons. The moral system which ranks you as good or bad was awesome. So i would definitely focus on making sure the world is populated with NPCs( interesting ones ) and lots of decent quest . You could also expand on the Guild aspect( like quests specific to guilds or groups within the game) Hidden bosses or caves for rare items would be fun as well. The strong points for aralon was the gameplay and NPC and the ability to build and attack anyone you want in opinion made the game way more playable even after you beat the game. lol i would go into the castle and take on all the guards or go to that Fort near the desert and take all the guards on. Or sneak into the bandit lair and slay everyone. you get my point!I don't mind new updates on the graphics expanding the world but try your best to maintain the original gameplay style and really do make sure to fill up the world. Ive played BOTH aralon and ravensword and no disrespect at all but i loved aralon far more than ravensword ( mainly because the abilities in ravensword were really dull besides the force rune i didn't really even enjoy using the sword when fighting sticked with crossbow more so but in aralon boy did i love going dual weild as a paladin and slaying people ! The world .... honestly in ravensword was so empty i beat the game in 10 hrs didn't see a reason to keep playing :/ aralon took me at least 50 hrs just for completing the quest and story! i still even played a bit more afterwards) in general feedback wise don't rush to push out aralon polish it enjoy it make it into a art so we can enjoy the full experience ! show the app store what a true touch rpg is i know you guys can do it! Sorry if i offended you in any way i just really am looking forward to Aralon Forge and Flame and hope it goes well so i wanted to help any way i can Good luck and cheers from a fan ! :)

    I loved almost every game of your except your exiles game that was something that i would never ever play again, why?, simply, ios 8.x and up im not gonna ruin a good ipad just for that game also it had many bad reviews so i hope your next game would be universal and not just on devices but operative systems too

    I was just wondering if you guys use the RAIN AI add-on in Unity for Ravensword and Aralon games?

    Many many new games are ios8 and up due to new features. You can't blame them for doing that. Games shouldn't lose out all because you have an old ipad 2

    I know where you're coming from, i had an iphone 4s previously and its frustrating when games wouldnt work on it as i would have to upgrade the OS (didnt want to as it would be slow on my device). But Apple (and devs) cant hold back games due to people with old devices.

    No buy here until they fix Exiles. Why they are working on another game while that one is so lacking in content leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, one not likely to be forgotten soon.

    Very true.... I love aralon, but exiles i never bought because of the reviews and ratings, it completely tanked.

    Doesnt Aralon have a different dev team than Exiles? I think Exiles is a CMG original while Aralon is only CMG published. Is it?

    Not exactly.

    Aralon Sword & Shadow started out as a Galoobeth Games game, but before the release they got taken under the wing of Crescent Moon. CM overhauled the graphics (perhaps some other aspects of the game as well), but I think it's safe to assume that gameplay design and story were done by Galoobeth Games. And I think it's safe to assume that the guys from Galoobeth Games won't let their creation become anything less than what the first game was.

    Yes, Exiles is all done by CM.

    So technically you shouldn't let Exiles affect your opinion on Aralon 2, but I can see why it did.

    The graphics on this one are going to amazing, going by me playing aralon again this week on my air 2, it looked fantastic! Real time shadows when the sun rises and sets and particle effects is just really great, considering this game is 4 yrs old on mobile, the new aralon must be really taking advantage of the hardware. I hope we see alo more weapons this time, and blood and weather effects. There is so much i hope they implement, i really hope it expands on the first one exponentially ✌#️✌#✌#

    I replayed as well, and I have to agree. Looked great. Played really well. High expectations on this one.
