Hey guys,
It took longer than expected and my Retro Dungeon Crawler Kit is still not fully finished. But im happy to announce that a very first "Early Bird" version is available at a greatly reduced price on my online shop.

There might still be a few minor bugs left, but the Kit is already full to ...

@boyflea Thank you for the kind words!

So, I plan to release the Beta this autumn.

This being said, I have to address a few shortcomings the Asset still has compared to games
like Dungeon Master or Wizardry. These games feature a enormous complexity, too much for a
spare time programmer. My asset ...

thanks for your words @buyflea !

Its not as complex as DM (yet), especially not in terms of putting stuff on pressure plates etc. I always admire how many features they put into good old Dungeon Master, a true masterpiece. My Kit is for oldschool Dungeon Crawlers anyway and not a exact DM clone ...

The last sentence was a bit confusing (why can't I edit my posts?). What I meant was:

Thanks for your kind words!

Its already been a hearty welcome - not like on other boards.

thanks for the kind words guys!

Im currently working on a WebGL demo, I'll tell you when its done.

Uhm, okay Im new here - I hope it's okay to advertise this little pet project of mine: The Retro Dungeon Crawler Kit (RDCK)

Im not a big company, not even a indie-company, Im merely a single, part-time developer who has been working hard on a somewhat DM/EOB/Wizardry/Might and Magic kind editing ...

Hi, another newcomer here.

40 years, former Atari-ST user and die-hard DM/DM CBS/DM2 fan. Also EOB as well as Wizardry and Might and Magic (Although those are a bit different in terms of the engine/combat). Grimrock was also quite nice, but the original games where much better.
