Welcome to the forum! Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book once you get stuck in.

The Kindle version will essentially be a straight port of the book, although hopefully with hyperlinked entries to take you between pages. The app version will be fully interactive - with icon-driven combat, stat-keeping etc. Still early days so details are incredibly sketchy I'm afraid.

Hello to everyone, as a huuuuge FF fan of yesteryear (I'm as old as a wizards scroll at 36) I stumbled accross this today and can't wait to get a copy. I digress, quick question, does the Kindle have the functionality to enhance the gamebook experience?

Happy orc hunting

Hawk

They'll definitely be coming your way at some point My next news story will have a rather humongous update concerning the future of DQ, including apps and ebooks - I just need the go ahead from my new publishers to share the good news. I'm hoping this week...

Any updates on the ebook/App version of DQ? I know I would jump at the opportunity to get an interactive app through iTunes.

Please let us know if/when this is still coming!

Thanks

@ Darth Fluffy
Yes, it will be for all I-devices/web-enabled devices. Obviously, we're still in the initial set-up/development phase, but it is all very exciting! I suspect that the bonus downloads will be available as a separate 'expansion pack', for those who want to bolt them into their existing game. Same goes for 'The Four Generals'.

@ StarScream
Drool! Tell me about it! I can't wait to get clicking and playing

Sorry Bishop, only just spotted your question. It is sadly not something I have direct influence over, as my publishers are working with a third-party company to create the ebook versions. I've not received an update for about three weeks now. When I last saw it, it just wasn't of a high enough standard. I guess they are still working on it... ;)

On a side note, there will be a fully interactive app version coming out later in the year. The way things are going, it might beat the regular ebook versions!

Wondering is there an update on the Kindle versions yet? Wasn't it meant to be out last month? Perhaps you gave it the kiss of death again heh!

No worries about the ebook delay, not your fault and thank u for the updates. I bought one of your collectors set because I'm eager to get playing now! Look forward to getting my copy and the two loot cards. Happy to support such a fantastic project.

I promised you an eBook update so here it is:

The eBook should be available from retailers such as WH Smiths, Waterstones and Tesco at the end of this week.

The Amazon Kindle is a different eBook format (.mobi format) so is being developed/converted separately. However, this should also be available end of this week or early next week. (That includes the UK and US Amazon Kindle stores.)

No problem Silicon. I've asked my publisher for an update, so as soon as I get any concrete info I'll post it here. Promise!

Sorry to pester but is there any news on the kindle version of Legion of Shadow? I am tempted by the print copy now, but wondered what date you had (if any) for the ebook? I ask because I can't wait to play!

Found out about DQ via the Fabled Lands blog. I'm overseas at the moment and can't get the book shipped to me, but I eagerly await the Kindle edition. Cheers! This looks amazing.

Short answer: yes.

I'm not sure when the ebook version will be available to purchase/download. I wouldn't have thought it would be too long after the release of the paperback (1 Feb).
