Isolated Storage on Windows Phone 7

Turns out that Isolated Storage DOES exist for Windows Phone 7. A port of Saint is much more likely now :)

Immagickus Snowflake

This will be up on the manual at some point in my relative near term:

The Tome of Immagickus Snowflake

The tome known as the Immagickus Snowflake is a gateway into a world that the wizard Immagickus created within a snowflake, bound in parchment, and sealed for eternity. Immagickus created the tome as a means to study the common animals he had captured in the parched lands known as Makican. The Order has long sought the tome, but all who have dared to open the book have never returned. None know the boundaries of the world within the tome, but all agree: it is highly dangerous.

The Red Saint: Snowflake

Rather than try to aim for a full-blown sequel for The Red Saint on the android platform, I've ported over the new snowflake mechanic as a free mini-add-on to the Saint.

In order to activate this particular mechanic, you must first acquire the snowflake from Gin after completing the tome of Rat Immagickus. From there, the snowflake world is accessible by using the tome from the player menu. The boundaries of the worldspace aren't well defined in the tome, as Immagickus enfused a snowflake with his twisted magic. Your existing spells may (hopefully not) behave a bit differently inside the snowflake than expected, so be careful.

According to the manifest file, this is CE 1.0.20 of The Red Saint: Lamplight (Now known as Snowflake). My intent is to have this up on the market by tonight.

Thanks!
