After plenty of waiting, the Ravenstone Mine expansion for Ravenwood Fair is finally available. Though the game was initially purported to be a seperate release from the main game, it turns out that it's actually an in-game expansion, much like the English Countryside add-on for FarmVille.
It's been a while since we've heard anything about Ravenstone Mine, Lolapps' sequel/expansion to Ravenwood Fair. And while we still don't know exactly when the game will be released, the developer has at least shown us what it will look like with a new teaser trailer.
People often complain about the quality of games on Facebook. And it's true, there's a lot of junk out there. But there's also a lot of great games, and things are only getting better. With the rise in prominence of Facebook as a game platform some of the most influential developers of our time have decided to test the waters and create new and innovative social experiences. They've already created some of the biggest games on the platform, and it doesn't look like they're about to stop anytime soon. Here are nine of the most prominent PC game developers who are now crafting games for Facebook.
Just yesterday we brought you word of Ravenstone Mine, an ambitious expansion for LOLapps' popular Facebook game Ravenwood Fair. It was expected to launch later today, but the developer has told us that it's now being delayed. On the plus side, it looks like Ravenstone Mine will be even bigger than originally anticipated.
Starting tomorrow the world of Ravenwood Fair will be a little bit bigger. Developer LOLapps has revealed that the game will see an expansion pack called Ravenstone Mine that will transplant the familiar gameplay into a new setting.
It's been two weeks since Facebook removed the apps and games by LOLapps for a weekend for breaking its privacy rules, but that was apparently only a small part of the punishment. Facebook has slapped a much bigger and far-reaching punishment on LOLapps: a six-month suspension of access to all viral channels. This means, users will not be able to make any wall posts, send invitations, or share content within the feed for any of their apps. Essentially, Facebook is cutting off all of LOLapps' viral channels.
Kabam has upped the ante in its battle to take on the Zynga's of the world by acquiring WonderHill. Kabam is on a bit of a tear lately based on the success of it's strategy game Kingdoms of Camelot. The company has expanded from 30 to 200 employees in the past year and has the ambitious goals of releasing a new game a month and becoming the Blizzard of Social Games according to an article in TechCrunch.
