Dungeons of Dredmor: The Game: The New Website

February 4, 2013 by David Baumgart

The new DungeonsofDredmor.com now exists in this world! And it’s new! And Brax would very much like you to buy things from it, why don’t you. The prices are absolutely subterranean! (In, say, a series of dungeons, if you will. We all got that? Good.)

Brax does not agree with Batty’s business sense regarding certain expansion packs.

In all, we’re quite pleased to finally have this all put together. You can buy the game from our distribution partners, including Humble, Steam, and Desura, or perhaps pick up an expansion, order up a t-shirt, the game soundtrack, or perhaps your very own adorable stuffed diggle who hates you so much, but not that much. For those of you who bought Dredmor during our placement in the Humble Introversion Bundle, you can now enjoy high-quality, DRM-free expansion packs purchased directly from us (well, via the Humble Store.)

Props to the good folks of Chestnut St. Pixel Foundry for doing the design (drop them a line if you have need of some sort of graphical design — they also did this site, gaslampgames.com, and the Gaslamp Games company logo). Props as well to our own Derek Bonner for doing the coding and smart server type things.

Posted in Dungeons of Dredmor, Gaslamp | Tagged a very confused chris triolo walked into the office today and does not yet understand our horrifying development model, Brax has a whole new business model, buy something will ya, dredmor, dungeons of dredmor, hey look at more of david's old art, iDiggle, now with 90% more amazon cloud computing, oh right we made another game once, the batty has no business sense whatsoever, the chestnut street pixel foundry ovens emit very square and rather sharp fumes into the air of yaletown, the humble store now has 50% more humility in every bite, these tags now have 10% more meaningless statistics than last week's tags, things we should have done 12 months ago, this would have been launched over the weekend if not for our ratty canadian DNS servers, we asked Apple for a game expansion packaging tool and all we got was a white bat'leth, website, you still have to name the expansion pack

Diggle News!

October 24, 2012 by Nicholas Vining

Diggles are shipping! People have already started receiving shipping notices saying that a “yellow bird with a white beak in a plastic bag” (plus sketches) are headed their way. International shipping should now also be available to just about everywhere, and anybody who has problems with international shipping should e-mail ShouldBee, our partners in Diggle Crime, at international@shouldbee.com for assistance.

ShouldBee has asked us to note that they have been adding one sketch per *order* – so if you ordered twelve Diggles, you will get twelve Diggles and one sketch. This is because there are a limited number of sketches and we want everybody to enjoy David’s fine doodlings (or, alternately, my programmer art.) If your Diggle arrives, why not let us know? Put up a photo on the forums or in the comments and let the world see your new fuzzy yellow companion.

Happy Halloween, everybody! And don’t forget the Canadian Indie Bundle is STILL ON SALE.

The Canadian Indie Bundle Is Here!

October 23, 2012 by Nicholas Vining

Edit: Looks like that’s it folks! Thanks for spreading the word and helping us promote our awesome country of maple syrup, igloos, and great indie games!

We’re in a bundle on Steam right now with a number of other *great* Canadian titles! For only $14.99, you can get Dungeons of Dredmor, and a number of other fabulous indie games featuring everything from Sworcery (whatever that is?) to a bandana-wearing, knife-wielding lunatic, to … some kind of game about quantum waveforms. Quantum physics has never been so exciting!

You get:

Dungeons of Dredmor (obviously)
Capsized!
Shank!
Shank 2!
Waveform!
Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP
Space Pirates and Zombies
HOARD

Honestly, though, these games are fantastic – as are the wonderful indie devs who made them. Buy the Canadian bundle today! And Blame Canada!

Conquest of the Wizardlands EP

September 27, 2012 by David Baumgart

Mr. Matthew Steele, musician & sound artist for Dungeons of Dredmor, has just released his Conquest of the Wizardlands EP featuring fresh-hot tunes from the latest Dredmor expansion pack Temporal Parod(y)ox and Diggle Hell is a Real (Swinging) Place.

Give it a listen on his bandcamp site and if you like what you hear, why not give the man a dollar for putting a little swing in your step?

(And be sure to check out the complete original Dungeons of Dredmor Soundtrack if you have not yet!)

Conquest of the Wizardlands: Pocket Dimensions & Banksters

June 27, 2012 by David Baumgart

What with all this talk of pocket dimensions and wizards and somesuch, we thought it would be helpful to give a little tour of the sorts of things you’ll see in the upcoming Dungeons of Dredmor expansion pack Conquest of the Wizardlands.

Daniel and I talked about how to approach writing this post and we’ve agreed to do something a little different that we haven’t done in quite some time. Instead of just listing the features, we’re going to dig a bit into the game design process and discuss the thoughts behind the decisions we made in coming up with these features and their functionality.

Let’s start with the big feature that may do the most to change how Dredmor is played.

Pocket Dimensions & You: A Room Without a View

Hi folks! I haven’t written one of these in a while. We’ve been busy with some… really exciting stuff related to modding that we should be able to announce soon.

But in the meantime I wanted to showcase two excellent modders’ works, lccorp2 and FaxCelestis.
