Version 1245

This is the second public release of the game.  There’s still a lot of work to be done, and you’ll probably find some bugs.  The good news is that there are also some fun new features to play around with (well, at least one)!

The maps, music, and enemies are the same as before – preliminary.  Normally I would wait a little longer before releasing another demo, but I’m excited about some of the improvements I’ve added recently.  The main changes are as follows:

  • improved timing code for a steadier framerate
  • added an online battle mode for playing against friends (still needs work)
  • improved launcher app with settings that make more sense and a new screenshot tab
  • sped up loading of save slots

As always, we appreciate comments from anyone who tries it out!  The feedback has already started steering me in the right direction.

Version 1194

Here’s the first public release of the game.  Please understand that it’s still very much a work-in-progress.  You will probably find some bugs.  But give it a try, and have some fun with it.  When you’re finished, please give us your comments/suggestions/whatever.

The maps, music, and enemies are all very preliminary.  There isn’t a story yet, and there are no tasks for you to accomplish.  But there are 4 test maps and plenty of enemies to beat up!  Once you find the Long Sword and Firestorm spell, you’ve basically done everything there is to do – but you could always keep playing to level up your character or try to get rare item drops (have you found the Forest Cloak?).
