Tie-in Tuesday - Moon Knight: Age of Anubis

In case you haven't been following my Twitter and Facebook feeds, Moon Knight: Age of Anubis, my first Marvel gamebook, is published in the US today in paperback today, and around the work as a global ebook! Several reviewers have read it already, and the good news is they like it.

Here's what the Witty and Sarcastic Bookclub have to say about the book:

"I know less than nothing about Moon Knight and am about five movies behind in the MC Universe, but thankfully it didn’t matter one iota. I have a massive amount of nostalgia-laden affection for adventure gamebooks anyway, and this one is an absolute blast... The story itself is solid and of good quality. This is much better than some of the writing found in old “Choose Your Own Adventure” type books (I write this with fondness for those books, of course)...   More than anything, it’s a sense of adventure that shines through loud and clear. That’s the most important part of this gamebook: the enthusiasm of the author is contagious. My character may have lost multiple times, but Moon Knight: Age of Anubis is a sure winner!"

And The Cosmic Circus has scored it 8/10:

"I am happy to report that Moon Knight: Age of Anubis was more than a one-hit wonder. I read it through multiple times without repeating many scenes. And even with a couple of repeated scenes, each round felt unique and held my interest. What’s more, I know that I still have plenty of scenes I never even got to. This means that I can read it through several more times (at least) and get different adventures each time... So if you’re looking for some fun and have an hour to spare, pick up Moon Knight: Age of Anubis and save the world with Moon Knight!"

Dracula - Curse of the Vampire... One week to go!

The Dracula - Curse of the Vampire Kickstarter concludes one week today, at 1:00pm on Tuesday 31st March.

Currently, we're about £800 away from hitting the first stretch goal, which would pay for additional art for the book.

In terms of the writing, I am now more than halfway through the Vampire Hunters' adventure, but once that's done I will still have to write Dracula's narrative path through the book.

So if you've yet to back the project, don't delay and do so today. And if you have already backed the project, thank you very much and please keep spreading the word.

Beowulf Beastslayer - your last chance to back!

Some of you may have seen pertinent pieces of Russ Nicholson's artwork for my ACE Gamebook Beowulf Beastslayer online recently. If you have and it's made you think, "I wish I'd backed the Kickstarter" you still have a couple of days left to place a Late Pledge via Indiegogo.

In Beowulf Beastslayer, you take on the role of the eponymous hero, and play through the major events of his life, from his battle with the monster Grendel in King Hrothgar's mead-hall Heorot...

To his hunt for Grendel's mother, the Sea-Hag, in her lake-bottom lair...

Through to his final epic battle with a barrow-dwelling dragon...

The adventure has been illustrated by fantasy art stalwart Russ Nicholson and you can place a Late Pledge to back the book, and receive backer-only perks, here. But hurry - the Indiegogo project page has to close on Thursday, 28th February!

Tie-in Tuesday: Lovin' the Kraken

Apart from one rather strange review, in which the reviewer seemed put off by the smell of the book more than anything else, my latest Doctor Who gamebook Choose the Future: Night of the Kraken has been receiving a lot of love online.

First there's this review by blogger and book critic Kathryn White.

And then there's this one, written by Antony McGarry-Thickitt, over at Geek Syndicate. I particularly liked this bit:

"I always consider it a good sign when I see Jonathan Green’s name attached to any interactive fiction project. Green has a long and successful record writing these types of books and so I was reasonably sure that Night of the Kraken would be a solid adventure in its own right. I wasn’t wrong."

Gamebook Friday: Foreign Edition of the Spider God

When Temple of the Spider God was released for Android devices it was also released in French for French-speaking Android users.

I think (and if anyone knows differently, please let me know) that Temple of the Spider God - or, rather, Le Temple du Dieu Araignée - is the 6th gamebook of mine to be translated into French, and it's received some pleasing reviews.

Here's one from the French app store:

"Le système de jeu est très simple mais permet de jouer rapidement sans que les combats s'éternisent. Les défis sont bien équilibrés, sans donner l'impression que vous vous en sortirez haut la main. Ll'histoire compte plus de 500 paragraphes, permettant de nombreux choix et variations. Et la maquette personnalisable permet de trouver chaussure à son pied en termes de confort de lecture. Bref, si vous aimez les livres dont vous êtes le héros, cette collection est pour vous."

One of the bits I particularly like (in English this time) is this:

"The challenges are well balanced, without giving the impression that you will come out with flying colours."

Just to remind you, the following Fighting Fantasy titles (all written by me) are also available now in French (or will be soon).

Gamebook Tuesday: Temple of the Spider God on Android

What?!? Gamebook Tuesday?!? Has the world gone mad?!?

Yes well, it quite possibly has*, or will do very soon, since Temple of the Spider God, my first Gamebook Adventure for Tin Man Games, is now available for Android users!

And I think that's pretty much all you need to know... Other than that Temple of the Spider God was a Pocket Gamer 2012 Awards Best Adventure/RPG Game nominee! That it came second in the Best App Ever Awards 2011! That it was #1 ranked iPad Dice Game in 10 countries and top #10 ranked iPad RPG Game in 15 countries. And that it was Top #5 ranked iPhone Dice Game in 16 countries and top #10 RPG Game in 7 countries including US, UK, Canada and Australia!

So what are you waiting for, Android owners? Go pick it up and play now!

* Or is it just me?
