Dungeons of Belemar / Blog: Recent posts

Hello traveller!

18 days ago I started the next expedition down into the Dungeons of Belemar. Today, after 18 commits I am back and successfully recovered the latest release from the vile depth. On the way several bugs were sqashed so that Multiplayer is now really playable. Believe it or not, I took a half-an-hour match with another daring adventurer.

Hello monster-basher!

It has been some time (almost a month) since the last release for a reason: Very much has changed in Belemar. Nothing in what you see directly (though you might see some bugs as a result of the heavy code changes involved). No something far bigger has happened:

Further we added a game menu for starting and restarting the game.

So lots of things have changed while others, mainly the game mechanics, have not changed, yet. Work on this will probably start for the next release.... read more
