Just six months after releasing Soulcaster, MagicalTimeBean are back on the Indie Marketplace with a sequel. Soulcaster II is a cross between a tower defence game and an RPG. You play the game as an old, frail wizard, travelling through various levels and environments. Using orbs you summon the souls of archers, alchemists and warriors to do you’re fighting for you.
Gamesta.com has more indie deals to report on. The Indie Gala site has started its own brand of weekly game deals, with the Beat Hazard and Soulcaster series. This is, no doubt, in answer to the Humble Bundle weekly sales, but that means more deals for gamers.
Examiner recently spoke with Ian Stocker, the founder of indie developer MagicalTimeBean. He told me about the work it takes to create an XBLIG including the certification process, advertising, and sales.
Josiah Renaudin from our sister site PSNFans recently had the chance to chat with MagicalTimeBean founder Ian Stocker. Ian is the man behind the hit Xbox Live Indie Games SoulCaster I & II and the recent success story Escape Goat.
Josiah talks to Ian about how he got into making games, how the process of making a game for XBLIG works and what might be in store for MagicalTimeBean in the future. If you want to keep up to date with what Ian is doing you can check out MagicalTimeBean’s website or follow him on twitter @MagicalTimeBean. If you haven’t checked out his games before then why not download the trials, SoulCaster, SoulCaster II and Escape Goat.

Its a decent indie tower-defence game. Worth the price tag. :)
