| First let me say that this is awesome news. One thing that I would like to suggest is since the Windows version of these games are going a way. Why not make these titles free. Then those who have never played those games will have that chance. I own most of these titles myself.
This sounds really neat, though I'm incredibly sad that those of
us who don't have any apple products are being completely shut out
now. I use windows and android, so pretty much out of luck it
sounds like.

It's been a long while, but it's finally time
to announce the start of a new chapter for
Draconis Entertainment, LLC. The dragon is
awakening yet again!
This new incarnation of the company brings big
and exciting changes. We will explain those
and some of our plans for the future here, but
know that we aren't spilling all the beans
quite yet. What fun would that be!
The world has moved on!
Our first announcement is that we are bringing
new and enhanced versions of our classic
games, along with brand-new titles, into the
modern age and on to Apple platforms, with an
emphasis on iPhone! Thanks to VoiceOver, the
overwhelming majority of the visually impaired
community has access to at least one of
Apple's operating systems, and this will make
our games available to the widest possible
audience. It's hard to believe sometimes, but
that little rectangle of glass we all carry in
our pockets has infinitely more power than any
of the PCs or Macs that our legacy titles were
developed on, and with the tight integration
of Apple's operating systems, we will be able
to easily make new releases available for
iPhone, iPad, Mac, or AppleTV going forward.
This approach means that we can integrate
newer technologies like full 3D spatial audio,
touch and accelerometer interaction, and
support for console game controllers and
advanced haptics.
What does this mean for our Windows products?
We know how beloved these games have been over
the years—we love them too—and we want to
bring all of them, with expansions and new
features, into the twenty-first century, so
they can be enjoyed by new and old generations
of gamers alike. The support cost for the
original Windows games, some of which were new
when Nintendo 64 was the hot ticket and Xbox
didn't yet exist, is simply too high to manage
for a small company like us, while also
investing in the future.
We will be bringing our Windows development to
a close and giving these games new life on
iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AppleTV. That said, for
the time being, we will continue to offer
downloads of the installation packages for our
legacy catalog on our site, and customers who
purchased them may request replacement keys
within reason. (For more details, see the
Legacy section of our new website at
https://draconis.llc.)
Back in March, the legacy Draconis Score
Server (DSS) and Draconis Online License
Factory (DOLF) for the Windows versions of
ChangeReaction 2 and SilverDollar, migrated to
a new host and received some modernization. As
you've already seen, this brought much needed
stability to both of those services.
So what’s up first?
With all of that in mind, we're pleased to
introduce major updates to the Mac versions of
ChangeReaction and SilverDollar. Freed from
the cross-platform constraints of developing
for both macOS and Windows, we have been able
to add some new features to these titles. The
most exciting of which is full-support for any
of the console game controllers supported by
Apple platforms. These include the PlayStation
DualShock 4 or DualSense 5, the Xbox X / S
controllers, the Nintendo Switch JoyCons, any
MFI controller, and others. SilverDollar now
includes a great deal of new and remastered
audio, support for Apple Silicon, and
countless bug fixes and tweaks.
These upgraded titles will be available as
free updates to anyone who purchased them
previously from the Mac App Store.
SilverDollar 2.0 is out now and is available
for free. ChangeReaction 3.0 will have its
price reduced to $4.99 in the US when it is
reintroduced in the coming weeks. (Prices will
vary based on exchange rates.)
Looking forward, the development to bring a
mix of new and familiar titles to life is
well-underway, and we can’t wait to show you
what we’ve been working on! The future is
bright.
We know the dragon has been sleeping for a
very long time. We appreciate your patience
and support more than we can say. Thank you
for the last twenty years. We hope you'll join
us as the dragon is reborn.
Cheers!
Cara
