Spiderweb No Longer Developing for iPad for the Time Being

With a brief post on the official Spiderweb Games forums, Jeff Vogel has announced that the developers won’t be working on iPad versions of their game for the time being, citing the current levels of competition, his inability to keep up with rapid pace of new iOS version releases, and a critical bug introduced by the latest version of iOS that would force him to change engine as the reasons. However, Vogel doesn’t rule out coming back to the platform in a few years, in case conditions get better:

After several years of good time, we at Spiderweb have come to the sad conclusion that we can no longer develop new games for the iPad. The iPad titles currently on iTunes will still be available as long as we are able to support them. As soon as Apple makes changes that makes it impossible to support them, they will be removed.

We know a lot of fans will be disappointed in this decision. Believe me, we’re really unhappy about it. And this may not be permanent. In a few years, we can look at the marketplace and the technical requirements and rethink things. For now, though, this is the only decision that makes sense, and we apologize to the fans we’ve disappointed.
