I feel abandoned by Dinofarm. There hasn't been a new blog post in ages. Patches are becoming more infrequent, and their prescence on the forum has dropped drastically since about 4 months ago.

Well, it is true, that this "stagnation" of sales is unpleasant, but it is quite logical. I mean every game or application has its customers, but this particular "market" is sooner or later saturated..

Personally I wouldn't press too hard on in-app purchases, because quite frankly, it can disappoint players (you know – you buy a game and then you have to buy other features). But lite version (even without ads) with "full game" unlock might be much better option.

Of course, there are IAPs that have sense even for current customers – e.g. new characters. I gladly purchased Skellyman, 'cause she is really lovely ;) And as far as I know, there were rumors about other characters (like Dino Barbarian?).

Well, one of the best ways how to earn some money is to create another game. Maybe different, maybe similat. I suppose that arrival of iPad2 might be a good time for sth like 100Rogues2 with some changes and tweaks, new levels and so on.

And of course, my good old dream of 100Rogues-inspired full-scale RPG (in style of older 2D Ultima games). Then it will be possible to offer AIP like new larger areas with new quests and dungeons etc.

(and in case of energency, you can try to sell the tickets to that upcoming 100Rogues movie) :))

Is there a donate area on the main website? I actually got my copy when it was featured on Freeappaday, and would be more than willing to donate a couple dollars. I already bought the skellyman, not because I wanted another character (fairy ftw!) but to shell a dollar your way. I mean its not much but Id be willing to donate 5 or 10 dollars as a thank you and im sure a few others on the forum would.

That's exactly what i did, i got it from the "free app of the day", and i instantly loved it so much that i soon didn´t hesitate to purchase the third character, also happy to pay you of somehow for such an awesome game i got for free.

Im sad to hear that the sales hasn´t been very good, specially considering the amount of crap that fills up the app store, which i think enchances the beauty of your game. but unfortunattely, without information, this title is lost in the inmensity of the app store. I've never bought anything more expensive than 3€… usually 0.79€ stuff and so, but now that i know how this game is, I would have happily paid 5€ for it, cause it worths it.

Congrats guys and good luck in your future proyects .

Yeah, that's a good idea. Bring it back up to the base and then discount it again to get more attention.

Hey guys I was browsing app store a bit and I saw 100 Roges in number 41 at RPG Games Category, you are climbing up!!,

I remember las time i saw it, like a month ago or so it was something beyond the 75th, wasn´t it?

I think it would be great if your efforts finally fruit, slowly but constantly, into the well deserved first page of the rpg category, where your sales will improve significantly…

I think its time for a new game. You have saturated the market pretty much. I love this game, its the best thing ever. But from a developers point of view, your beating a dead horse currently. I dont know how many people actually bought 100 rogues, but if you could produce a new game you could make them pay two dollars again. That could be alot of money. Instead of taking a super long time making expansion packs, that half the poeple wont even buy.

No need to get offended. I think a month is long time personally, like a twelth of a year but then again your a one man army and if you can get anything out in a month thats probably amazing. I think I have changed my mind, you should focuse your attention on 100 rogues and get to the top 25, then you will be able to make your logo gold like blizzard, becuase you will be loaded. Program on
