EVIL DUNGEON III (C64) is coming!

So, if you haven’t noticed yet. I shortly announced at the Gamescom 2024 that EVIL DUNGEON will become a trilogy!

After some rest, I really thought about how to proceed. Creating a complete new game or make another sequel for EVIL DUNGEON?

I realized quickly that there a more ideas in my head for a sequel, that I really want to bring to live. I really love the ED concept, but as you move on you see more and more possible improvements that could be made. This is why ED3 could be possibly the best EVIL DUNGEON game ever.

I can repeat my announcements from part II and change the title to III 😉

While keeping the general concept of a fantasy story based dungeon crawler, EVIL DUNGEON III will offer a whole new story, maze, monsters, music and also some complete new features.
ED3 will get a nice little polish this time and also some unexpected features.

To be honest, I really love the new cover artwork 🙂

And yes, there will be a physical collectors edition again!

This time there is again an exciting story, which seamlessly connects to the events of the first part and continues them.

The game concept remains the same, but is also expanded by a few innovations.

What awaits you in EVIL DUNGEON II?

  • Two alternate endings!
  • Quick save function
  • English and German version on one disk/image
  • Physical Collector’s Edition

Pre-Order for the Collector’s Edition is open now!

Why a pre-order?

As I’m sure you know, I’m a “one-man army” and I’m managing the project almost single-handedly, alongside family and work. A pre-order enables me to order and produce the necessary materials such as sleeves, disks, cover prints, etc. in sufficient and realistic numbers and to better coordinate the later shipping/logistics. You support me and the project in this way too, without any additional costs for you! And don’t worry, everyone gets a game! It’s not about creating a limitation.

Thank you in advance for your trust and support!

    Game data will partially loaded from my webserver and benefits from the technology of the WiC64 device. It’s a great experience!
  • Online Highscore!

EVIL DUNGEON (C64) Version 1.1 released!

What? A new version of EVIL DUNGEON?

Let me explain. I really like my game and there are no plans to release further versions in the future!

But there were some little things I like to see fixed/changed, for a better overall experience. Some of that is direct feedback from you! Thanks!

What about the physical copies on floppy?

There is no absolute need to use version 1.1!
If you like the game as it is, stay with it.
If you want to upgrade your version to 1.1 just download it, delete the MAIN.PRG file from the original floppy and replace it with the MAIN.PRG file from new .D64 image. If you have Ultimate or similar devices you can also mount the new image and copy the image as a whole to the floppy. You are done!

Update: All new physical shippings will include the V1.1 already!

Changelog (Version 1.1 EN/DE):

  • Changed menu: Added toggle button <F1> (YES/NO) to switch introduction on/off
  • Changed menu: Added toggle button <F2> (YES/NO) to enable/disable door sounds (for faster experience)
  • You have to hit <RETURN> in menu to start the game now!
  • Clock improvement: less and more effective code, more precise time calculation for playtime. Please don’t care about highscore times, they are not evaluated for ranking, it’s just an info.
  • Little adjustment in balancing regarding fire vials and healing potions. Prevents the game to become too easy in some cases.
  • Typo: “wodden” -> “wooden” in english version
  • Fixed translation error: ‘C’ for (c)heck in intro reacted only to ‘N’ like in german version.

Downloads have been replaced with V1.1 now!

And yes, you can still get one of the physical copies if you like. Just ping me: kontakt at retroarts.de
