As some of you know, we’ve been trying to move for a long time. Our old office had no AC, no heat, lots of bugs, and was generally just too small. Goodbye 160 sq ft; Hello 1000sq ft!!
Not only is this upgrade amazing, the rent is just about the same. However, moving always costs a lot of money and we really want to hire on another employee. So, the answer is clear… WE MUST FUNDRAISER!
In the old days, we took donations for Auditorium and were able to stay true with our promises and make it into a fully developed title. Now, it’s on the web, iPhone, iPad, and coming soon to the PS3, XBox360, and PSP! This time, we’ll be offering both Auditorium and Fractal for 50% off, lowering both titles to $4.99 for two weeks. This special moving sale promo will end on July 30th, so act fast! You will also receive a free audio track with either purchase during the sale. With Auditorium comes Autumn, our first single. Fractal comes with Iterate!, Fractal’s theme song.
Now, we must ask you all for your support (trust me, it means a lot). Here are some of the great ways you can help us keep making amazing titles.
- Tell your friends and family we exist! Get them to play Fractal or Auditorium, tell them we’re a small team. Pass on our great luck story.
- Write to your favorite magazine, forum, or gaming site and tell them you’d like to see some info on our games. Press is so hard for us and we really rely heavily on word of mouth. So, if you can… put in a good word!
- Grab a copy of Fractal or Auditorium for 50% before the sale ends on July 30th.
- Grab an Audio track for $0.99 if you already own Fractal or Auditorium. Get Autumn (Auditorium). Get Iterate! (Fractal).
- Write us! Tell us who you are, what you liked, what you hated. We want to get to know you. You’re here, so you mean a lot to us already.
- Subscribe to our Mailing List, RSS Feed, or follow us on Twitter so you can know when our new titles start coming out. You’ll also be notified about upcoming indie game bundles!
- Beyond anything else, enjoy!
If you did anything on this list or even thought about it, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We’ve made it over two years with the support of the community and we cannot thank you enough!
You are all rock stars. Namaste.

I purchased Fractal. I'm glad I can contribute to your costs. Hopefully, this will allow you to make more of those beautiful games you'll be known for (already are, for me).

@Neil Autumn is actually a track in Auditorium. Checkout the demo levels =) Completely different level sets from the full game.

@Saya We can officially say, we are actively working on the soundtrack now.

nope. no autumn act in auditorium. i checked the demo and the full version. demo levels are only hajimemashite, winter, spring, and preview (rain in the full version) so where is this mysterious act?
Barry Owen
July 17, 2010 at 3:06 am
Any chance of ordering more than one copy of more than one game at a time? I'm on a Mac, using Firefox, and I'd like to order two copies of each game, one set for me and one for my kid. I hate to do four card transactions when one will do. I think it costs you more, too. Thanks, Barry

I was going to buy both Auditorium and Fractal in a single transaction, as I'm purchasing in the UK, but your cart doesn't allow me to add a second item! Am I wrong, or do you need to fix this? Awaiting a solution. Thankyou.

[...] Auditorium and Fractal are at the top of the list of the list of games that I should have bought but haven’t yet. Honestly, I’m not sure why I hadn’t bought them before now. Their normal price was decent and the demos were excellent. It’s moot now, because I snapped them up today after seeing Tesh (thanks Tesh!) mention that they are both 50% off. [...]

Love Auditorium. Would love it even more if i could take it and play where i don't have an internet connection. Or how about a DS version? (don't own a PSP, but if I can get Auditorium for it, i may have to get one) It is such a great game, I purchased it anyway! Just got done playing the demo of Fractal and will probably be buying it later tonight. Painfully addictive games! Keep it up! Looking forward to pics of the old and the new spaces. Thanks for such incredibly well done games!!!

Any chance of a downloadable version of Auditorium later? It's the only thing that's putting me off buying it. Getting Fractal right now though :)

why isn't auditorium being ported to the wii? :( the wii is actually the best platform for auditorium! since u can move the controls around with ur wiimote. also wiiware is THE place for indie games!

Great work guys @HSalgo I also didn't get the single, but "will" has made a previous post regarding it, see following "@Anyone not seeing free tracks after purchase We'll be sending all those out at the end of the sale for anyone who did not receive them immediately for some strange reason." will

Great work guys. Please create more levels for Auditorium for purchase on itunes. Also, I would recommend doing more with your facebook to get the word out there too. I'm officially fan #4 and I think it is a easy free way to promote the product to another audience. Throw some screen shots in the photos sections and then link out to the game websites.

July 27, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Hey...after you guys move in, you should create an update to Auditorium (or maybe Auditorium 2???), that includes a level editor. Then the users can either use pre-seperated tracks that come with the game, or add their own, to create new levels.

The old blog looked a little boring (besides the cool flash banner). otherwise the new site looks great. I like how the blog blends into the cipherprime website. before it was two completely separate sites. Also I'm not sure what font this is but I like it. I think that the CP homepage should have something other than the most recent blog post (unless it's a very important post). The CP store still isn't much of a store. It's more like a locker since you sign in to get your stuff. A store should have items to buy. I'd be nice to see some Auditorium and Fractal merchandise on the CP store (like tshirts and stuff).
