| Another year... another solitaire game ;) The Christmas season is upon us and so is our brand new game: Santa's Christmas Solitaire.  Available now at GameHouse: http://www.gamehouse.com/download-games/santas-christmas-solitaire Coming soon to iWin, BFG and Steam :) |
| ||
| Looks nice - but that tree is a bit too "vibrant". No "charming/warm" look as the fireplace and "that red clothed dude" promise. But hey, nitpicking at christmas time isn't the worst what could happen. Hope you got a "bake cookies"-minigame (or a "decorate the gingerbreadman"-game) :-) bye Ron |

| Congrats...But the tune reminded me of this lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMKsR_wUSfA Power to the people!! Not sure how Christmassy that is ;) |
| ||
| Nice game :) |
| ||
| Thanks for the comments guys :) @Steve - lol! Released on iWin yesterday: http://www.iwin.com/games/santas-christmas-solitaire  |
| ||
| Looks nice and good timeing ;) I will try it. |
| ||
| Out now over at Big Fish Games: http://www.bigfishgames.com/games/11633/santas-christmas-solitaire/?pc |
| ||
| And Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/561680/ :) |

| Hey Steve, the most profitable place to purchase for you is Steam, correct? |
| ||
| Hi Steve, Similar question, why not having released on Steam yourself rather than thru BFG ? |
| ||
| BFG has a HUGE customer base for this type of game, Steam, not so much. |
| ||
| Hey Eric, purchase the game from where you want, what ever client you prefer :) Thanks for the support. @Pingus - Two reasons, time and convenience. We finished the game in the middle of October, Big Fish Games gave us a deadline of the 31st October (to ensure we got a Christmas/December release date). So that gave use 2 months to go thru Steam's Greenlight process which is very time consuming and we still may have missed December! SCS is currently #1 in iWin's Top 100 and #17 in Big Fish Game's Top 100 :) |
| ||
We've made it to the Top 10 on BFG's Mac Top 100 charts! And we've been at #15 in the PC Top 100 charts for the past 3 days :) Also we've released a TriPeaks version using Monkey-X on the Android Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.therevillsgames.scstripeaks&hl=en |

| Well done therevills ;) Great looking game, well timed ;) |
| ||
| Congrats again! I know you have been here many times before, but are you finding this a worthwhile endeavor? And do you feel that this will have a long tail(next Christmas) or does it have to be new each year? |
| ||
| Thanks :) are you finding this a worthwhile endeavor Very much so! I know solitaire games are not going to rock the world and never will be a Steam hit or make me into a millionaire, but they do at least pay the bills pretty well. And do you feel that this will have a long tail(next Christmas) or does it have to be new each year? Honestly, I've go no idea how well the sales will last for this game. It's the first time we've done a seasonal game. I will ask the portals to repromote it each Christmas... but I guess a new game would do better than a re-promoted one. I'm actually really surprised on how well the game is going over on the portals. It's gone up again on BFG, now #14 in PC and #7 in the Mac Top 100. Still #2 in iWin's Top 100 and #1 in Gamehouse's popular Card games. WOW! |

| are you finding this a worthwhile endeavor? Very much so!...they do at least pay the bills pretty well. Just a nudge of encouragement to people saying you cannot make money from games anymore. |
| ||
| I believe you can make money from most things but therevills has done an amazing job looking at the quality of the product. @therevills, you need a Halloween version! |
| ||
| you need a Halloween version!
