We have finally emerged from media hibernation with an all new website!

This new site will allow us to easily grow, change and keep you up to date as we push forward info on the games and apps that are currently under development. This means that despite the nature of secrecy surrounding The Spire, we aim to convert your interest into a community; driving anything that we develop from the input that people share with us via The Hub (forums) and our social media sites.

Since we released the Teaser Trailer on IndieDB last week we have had over 220,000 views which was pretty amazing, given that we haven't showed much gameplay as of yet. Thanks to everybody who has voted for us so far in the IOTY awards, if you have not there are still 4 days left in which to do so. We have been featured on a number of websites including Kotaku, Joystiq, DIY Gamer, Indie Games, 2Girls1Game, The Gaming Volt and Big Download.

There has been some great feedback and we have been reading as much as we can. After all if you don't listen to your audience you can't implement what they want in your game. Speaking of which, if you want to send us a message or ask a question then the best place is on our forums. We noticed some pretty common trends in the comments posted online and thought that it would be good to try and answer some ...
