You Guys Are Millionaires Right?
A very good article to read if you want to understand an indie life."So you guys are rolling in money right?
No. In fact we’ve been losing money for the last 6 months. By losing money, I mean literally every month the amount of money in our bank account has been going down."
"People will spend hours researching a $2 purchase, browsing reviews, emailing the developer, checking online forums. Then they will go to a coffee shop they’ve never been before and buy a $4 coffee. From the developer they expect unlimited support, unlimited free updates. From the coffee shop they expect nothing except mediocre coffee."
"The real problem is that when you’re a company of 2.5 people, piracy really hurts. "

Stuck in Secrets of Da Vinci HD
As many people, you maybe noticed you're stuck in two different places in Secret of Da Vinci 1.0 on the iPad :- day 2 near the carriage
- inside the pigeon house.
There are 2 knowns bugs.
We're very sorry for this issues but the bugs were introduced at this end of the development process and, as you can imagine, we didn't see them. We fixed them as soon as we discovered them.
An updated version of the game has been submitted to Apple on January 28th, but as of today, we're still waiting for the review and validation.
We hope the new version ( 1.0.1 ) will be online on monday.

Nostradamus: the Last Prophecy trailer
Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy transports players to 16th century Provence, in a country ravaged by religious wars and devastated by the plague. Despite the end of her rule as regent three years ago, Catherine de Médicis still holds the reins of power, making her the target of repeated attacks by the French nobility.In March 1566, upon falling victim to a terrible curse, she turns to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus. Too old and weak to take on such a mission alone, the famous prophet sends his daughter Madeleine to serve the Queen in her hour of need. However, as there are no female astrologers or doctors in medieval times, Madeleine must disguise herself, assuming the identity of her younger brother, César.
Alternating between Madeleine as herself and Madeleine disguised as César, players are plunged into a thriller where political scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined.
