Demo 2.1 Preview

Apr 30

Dungeoneers! After further toiling in my alchemical workshop I am pleased to inform that an update to the dungeon shall be imminent with improved lighting to help guide your way. I have included a preview of such a change.

Be assured, though this is something of a subtle update, in my unaffiliated opinion it makes the dungeon more of a pleasing experience.

Additional to the lighting change are numerous performance improvements, and I have cast a spell upon the dungeon to enable highlighting of interactable items.

I shall do my best to have this update for you within the week!

Some thoughts.

Love the gamepad support and awesome pixel graphics to start with. I feel there needs to be a very detailed tutorial since I dont like dying the first minute I am in a dungeon. The attack is so slow and doesnt even work as it should. The dark kills you no matter how many torches you drop or where you stand in the light. You need to fix this so that the light is not an issue anymore. You made the game impossible to play as is with all that is going on in it. Its too wonky you know....

Feb 7

Back To The Dark: Demo 2 is now available for download!

Changes since Demo 1 include:

New mobs! 🕷
New dungeon layouts!
New rooms!
New textures!
New lighting!
Shadows! Everywhere!
More audio fx!
Tutorial Dungeon!
Some quests in "Trophies & Rewards"
Armour!
Necklaces.
New mob behaviours.
Vertical doors!
Updated hit detection.
Updated UI rendering.
Redesigned item detail panel.
Improved support for higher resolutions/aspect ratios.
Improved performance for low end systems.

Save games from Demo 1 are supported, however the amount of new content since Demo 1 is not very big, so previous players might find this release a little underwhelming.

A future "Demo 3" will include more content in a few months, including quests, unlockables, spells, stats, bosses...

Any feedback, problems, bugs, performance issues, or suggestions are welcomed in the community discussions board.

Demo 2 - Trailer

Jan 11

Dungeoneers! I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits. May I apologise for the tardiness of this communication, for I have been busy toiling in the workshop in order to bring you good news.

Behold! A "Trailer" for our next adventure is available to witness:

Alas, I am as yet unable to confirm the commencement date for said adventure, but surely there won't be more than a fortnight's waiting.

See you soon, dungeoneers!

down portals

how many times can you go further down? I used a red portal probably 10 times in a row now and its always the same 2 maps, enemies are the same, loot is almost the same - does it stop getting better after a certain amount of red portals?
