Yesterday, Big Fish added a small workaround to Diana Fortune: Lost Temple of Gold. In the past, tokens were not being added to a player’s account when they gained a level. Here’s what they’ve done to ensure you get your tokens:
We have discovered a problem with Diana Fortune in the Lost Temple of Gold. Your tokens may not be saving correctly between levels. We are currently investigating this matter. Until this has been resolved, you can save your tokens by selecting “NEW” when a level is complete. This will update your tokens with your latest winnings. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Remember the concept art we showed you last week? Well, we’ve got a whole lot more to show you now!

The game will be called Diana Fortune in the Lost Temple of Gold (or just Lost Temple of Gold for short). It’s a puzzle game in which you have to place tiles in order to help Diana cross a temple floor made of quicksand. For more information and screenshots, check out the help pages for Lost Temple of Gold.

Use your puzzle-solving skills to help Diana Fortune recover treasure in an ancient Mayan temple. This exclusive game includes rank-based team bonuses and a dozen challenging achievement awards!

There are a couple rumors floating about in chat these days, so I thought I’d go investigate a little today to get some more insight on what’s really going on.
I’ve been hearing for a few weeks now about a new magical creature in the Riddle O’Day forest: a phoenix worth a whole lot of tokens. This harks back to last Spring’s red queen rumor (and gold unicorn rumor, et cetera). I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: screenshot or it didn’t happen!
Jewel Quest was removed from the site. I didn’t get a lot of information about this, but it’s true that the game is gone. It had to do with the game being under contractual obligations so it had to be removed. If you’re really missing it, you can still play Jewel Quest at Shockwave.
And finally, a bit of great news: Big Fish seems to have made a New Year’s Resolution that will benefit us all! Starting this week, they plan to release one new game a week. The first new game might even be released today.

This week’s Community Update brings us a sneak peek of the new game in development for Big Fish Games’ Game Community. Take a look at these pieces of concept art:

After seeing these sketches, what do you think this game will be like? I’m reminded of the obvious: Ancient Egypt, archaeology, et cetera, but I don’t have a clue what type of game is in store for us (pleeease let it be a puzzle game)!
Update: this game is going to be called Lost Temple of Gold and should be released soon!
