The Forgettable Dungeon: Early Access Release

[Katadeus]

I believe there's a snake boss too? So we have to think of a celebrity name that isn't Monty Python because that's lame as hell.

All this time and the only thing that I've come up with is Chilly Crystal (referring obtusely to Billy Crystal)
actually it's growing on me.

We may have to take a vote on boss names because I stuck to one currently for testing...

Chill Crystal is hilarious though lol.

Edit: it does bother me a bit that the physics aren't being pushed by his minions, wonder what's causing that.

Also when recording the intro I was listening to a song my friend sent me which lead to a funny coincidence,

If I ever do switch to more "serious" names for the monsters I'm going to add a cheat code to switch all boss names to celebrity puns.

Bump, I put out the ice world update for the beta testers.

Also included is a bunch of gameplay changes and groundwork laid for future stuff.

There's going to be a few rough edges but it's playable so I wanted to get it out to you guys as fast as possible.

I'll write up a proper change log tomorrow.

The first floor seems a lot harder now than it used to be, primarily because I keep running into a room that is consistently filled with ice guys and skeletons.

Edit: Lighting in adjacent undiscovered 'dark' rooms will flash into visibility due to the illumination of traps inside the room.

Character froze (no pun intended). Left and rejoined to make it work again. Someone else probably knows more about why this happened then I do, just reporting the bug.

This is now the Unforgivable Dungeon with the increased difficulty.

Like your player character froze or the penguin itself froze?

Thanks for reporting that though.

This is now the Unforgivable Dungeon with the increased difficulty.

I balanced it for me, this may be a mistake.

I'm going to be constantly adjusting difficulty as we go, testing out new mechanics as well.

I'm thinking of balancing the game for me as like a hard mode, then I can tone it down a bit for a normal difficulty.


I'm going to get started on the changelog and the new kickstarter post. Keep reporting anything you guys find.

That's very strange, any more info is appreciated.

Sorry I was making a joke.

There is no humor in game development.

Health bars are removed, I thought they were redundant since you see the bosses life chip away pixel by pixel.

Spiders jumping out of locked rooms is annoying, I need to fi xthat.

There's still only two bonus rooms :/, I laid the groundwork for more with this update but I wanted to get the ice world out as soon as possible.

Next update is going to feature a lot more bonus and secret rooms.

That is very strange regarding the teleport staff, I'll look into that. Honestly the teleport staff is kind of "meh" at the moment, I need to rethink a lot of the staffs.


I posted some patch notes on steam here:

Yeah and on this, when we were playing on the server...we defeated the ice boss within about three seconds.
