Darkmoor Dungeon received its final release today. If you've played the game already, there's nothing to get too excited about, but now is the best time ever to play it for the first time. The palette is updated for easier menu browsing, the spells have descriptions for greater ease of use, and the last of the bugs has been squashed (Ether2 targeting enemies).

Furthermore, Darkmoor Beckons is in production. It takes place about a decade before the events of the original and details the story behind the dungeon and all of the characters in the first game.

I am pleased to announce in conjunction with this news that I have "inherited" the Deviant Hearts soundtrack and most of its monster graphics for use in Darkmoor Beckons. Because DH was abandoned and the games are thematically similar, Ajora agreed to let me use the material in this game. This is fantastic news because it gives Darkmoor Beckons a beautiful, all-original soundtrack and dramatically reduces the amount of graphics work required.

I am, however, still hoping for a tilist and/or battle backgrounder. If you are interested in lending a hand to improve the graphical quality of this game, drop me a line.

Darkmoor Beckons will release in Q1 '07. I had wanted to release it by the end of the year to co-incide with the one-year anniversary of Darkmoor Dungeon, but my plans are too big for the game and my life is too busy anymore.

I could be a potential tilist if I actually knew what my limits were. I have never made a background in my life (I would likely use tiles to make them anyway, heh). It would be pretty nice to contribute to a game guaranteed to exist and be so much better than what my imagination is capable of.

Thanks! Of course I will ask that anyone volunteering to help provide a sample screenshot for whatever he's volunteering for (tiles or battle BGs).
