Hookshot Inc – Interview with Charles Cecil

We are excited to come across Hookshot Inc, a fresh new website that covers downloadable games that cost less than $15.

Hookshot Inc’s Keith Stuart caught up with Charles when their paths crossed at BAFTA in London recently and here is the interview

Happy New Year!

The Revolution team would like to wish you all a very happy and successful new year.

2011 has been a watershed for Revolution. The two Broken Sword games have been downloaded by over 4 million people this year. Strong sales have allowed us to self-fund our next adventure game which will be completed around the middle of 2012. This is an exciting opportunity for us and we thank you for your support throughout the year which has allowed us to do this. Once we’re sure of the completion date, and have decided on the name, we’ll let you know. Thanks for your patience.

We are proud that Revolution was named as one of the world’s top 50 development studios by Develop – given how small a team we are, we were delighted. Charles was honoured to be awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). We are sad that Eoghan Cahill, a layout artist who drew many of the layouts for the original Broken Sword game, passed away this year – he will be greatly missed. On a trip to Paris a few days ago, Charles climbed Notre Dame and took this photo, a view similar to the one Eoghan used as the basis of the opening for the original Broken Sword game.



We wish you all the very best for 2012.

Holiday Cheer!

With the Christmas holiday fast approaching we have decided to reduce the price of ‘Broken Sword – the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ on the iTunes AppStore(iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) to just $1, £.69, €.79 for a limited period in order to encourage more people to discover the Broken Sword games.

If you know of any waiverers then please let them know that they can get a bargain. Same price reduction for all localised versions of the game including French (Les Chevaliers de Baphomet – les Boucliers de Quetzalcoatl: Remasterisé) and German (Baphomets Fluch – Die Spiegel der Finsternis: Remastered).

Broken Sword: O Espelho Fumegante – Remasterizado

We are proud to announce that “Broken Sword: O Espelho Fumegante – Remasterizado” (‘Broken Sword 2 – Smoking Mirror – Remastered’ localised into Brazilian-Portuguese), has just released onto the App Store for iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

If the game does well in Brazil then what a great excuse to visit that wonderful country.
