MOB Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 SIX AGES is out on iOS: mythic story-driven strategy in the game that is the spiritual successor to KING OF DRAGON PASS! Congratulations to David Dunham, Robin Laws and all the team at A Sharp for this new Gloranthan masterpiece! 5 Quote
Balakatun Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Loving it so far! But it's also a testament of my lack of knowledge of anything non-Orlanthi and non 3rd age! I am actually still trying to figure out when it is taking place ^^ 1 Quote

Balakatun Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Well I had the impression that it was taking place during history, so after creation of Time and the Storm Age...but then I checked the "Dating the God Time" insert from GTG1 p125, and "the Ice covers Dara Happa" event is dated 109,201 YS, before the dawn, so you may well be right. The next entry says "The World is Destroyed" so...it bodes well Quote
alakoring Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 The rune was supposed to give it away: the Storm Age. Quote
Runeblogger Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I'm loving it too! I love that it's focused on a different culture, although there are also some Orlanthis as well, so it's really cool to see them from a whole new perspective. The fact that it's set in the Storm Age also makes it very refreshing! Read the first adventures of my Hyaloring clan here! 3 Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/
JonL Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Loving all the Hyaloring lore, gods & myths. How much of this is new vs dug out from old essays & Stafford Library materials? Quote

How much of this is new vs dug out from old essays & Stafford Library materials? The whole game is dug up from the Stafford Library. As in KoDP, we had to create new myths, but we used existing material whenever possible. 5 2 Quote

The developers have said they're looking at other platforms for the future. It doesn't help your question, but they've just announced a partnership to develop Windows and MacOS versions. 1 1 Quote

Although I still would very much like an Android version, I'll look into the Windows one when it comes out. Thank you! Quote
Dragonsnail Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 After seeing the hunt image below and the stats for a T-Rex in Runequest Glorantha Bestiary, I say good luck sending 4 swords and 3 bows to hunt it. https://sixages.com/ 2 Quote

Or a Berennethtelli, I guess? You know, that makes me think it would be cool to make a clan in Heroquest with the Clan Questionnaire modeled after your game of Six Ages. With the clan's wyter being one of your favorite members of the ring and stuff like that. 2 Quote

It is true, even if the market share is much bigger. Games that aren't "freemium" are much harder to sell on Android, people are reluctant to pay for games. And the market is also extremely fragmented so it is hard to make a game that works on the huge amount of models and operative system versions that exist. Quote
simonh Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Six Ages was game of the day on Wednesday on the App Store! Just noticed it, a bit late. At least it was here in the UK anyway. Check out the link for their write up on it. Edited September 13, 2018 by simonh 3 Quote Check out the Runequest Glorantha Wiki for RQ links and resources. Any updates or contributions welcome!
