Game Announcement: Aveyond - Gates of Night
The newest installment in the hit "casual" RPG series, Aveyond: Gates of Night, is now out and available at the Rampant Games store.

Unlike other games in the series, this one is a "true" sequel in this sub-series entitled "The Orbs of Magic." The story is a direct continuation of the storyline begun in Aveyond: Lord of Twilight. You don't need to have played Lord of Twilight to enjoy this game - Amaranth has done an admirable job of getting the player up to speed in a hurry, with the events of the previous game becoming backstory for this one.

However, all things being equal, I'd recommend starting with Lord of Twilight.

And I just have to add that as lush and beautiful the title screen was for Aveyond: Ean's Quest, I think this one is my favorite. First of all, I'm partial to stories about rogues / thieves, and this one has Mel front-and-center. Well, front-and-to-the-right, but that's beside the point. But the whole standoff-in-hiding between her and the mysterious cloaked figure (most likely a vampire...) is just cool.

Anyway, check it out - give the free demo a try. Or Lord of Twilight. Or something. :)
