QoD 3DS/Wii U port devlog 1

So how are the Nintendo ports coming along? It’s been sometime since I announced Quest of Dungeons for 3DS and Wii U, so it’s time to talk about what’s been happening in the “backstage”. I’m working on both versions at the same time, potentially for a simultaneous release. But this adds some extra challenges since both are very different and well, I’m juggling between two ports on my own. From a technical point of view, both are already up and running, graphics, sound, input, all of that is working (as far as I tested anyway. bugs yikes). ...

year review log 2015

Can’t believe it’s almost new year again. It became a habit of mine to to hit pause for a couple minutes, look back, write about it and think about what’s next, this helps me to sort things out. Thank you I have to start with something, a big Thank You for all the people who purchased QoD, everyone who helped spreading the word, the ones who wrote emails, tweeted and help my solo developer work became an even better thing to do. This wouldn’t be possible without everyone who supported me, in one way or another, so even if I do work a lot to make the best possible I can, if no one cared, it wouldn’t be possible, so thank you. ...

My first ever console game is out

Hey, it’s been a while. For the past few months I’ve been working on porting Quest of Dungeons to Xbox One, and I’m super happy that it’s finally out.

If you wanna read more about the new stuff on the XO version you can find the article here. ...

Quest of Dungeons coming to Xbox One on September 4

Hey everyone! You know that thing you’ve been asking me these past few weeks? I finally have a release day.

After months of development I’m very excited to finally be able say that it will be available on your console on that day. Quest of Dungeons is a turn based roguelike game, featuring that good old 16-bit art style we grew up with. An evil Dark Lord has stolen all the light, so your mission is to enter his lair and defeat him. The dungeons layout is procedural so you won’t find items/enemies in the same place each time you play. ...

Necrodancer is joining

Hi! I’ve been keeping this one a secret, but there’s going to a be a new class, a Necrodancer. Yes you guessed it, it’s an homage to Cadence from the awesome game Crypt of the Necrodancer, you should buy it btw! I’ve been thinking about adding a new class for some time but never quite found anything interesting, each character, in my mind has it’s own personality and charisma and I was having a hard time finding any other interesting class. I had the crazy idea of bringing Cadence to the game as an unlock-able and not one of the main starting characters, talked to the devs of CotN and the liked the idea (thank you again), so it’s happening. So among the things that you unlock when you finish the game, you also unlock the Necrodancer, she’s going to be a mix of several things, close combat, magic and debuffs. ...
