Some very cool person by the name of Christopher Barrett sent me this
Unfortunately it’s getting to the point where I’m starting to run out of room on the applet for people to thank, I might have to have an ‘additional thanks’ section on the Caverns of Underkeep webpage.
I’ve also been thinking about how […]

List of tasks that need to be completed before Beta 1.0 - Had a go doing some GUI work today, but I’m really bad at interface art. And unfortunately, because Caverns of Underkeep is a free game, my budget doesn’t extend to getting a professional to design the UI.

Enquire - Find out how […]

The alpha 2.0 build of Caverns of […]

I’m back from doing the ol’ Christmas rounds with family, hope Santa was nice to everyone
I usually like to blog about things that I’ve done, rather than what I’m going to do - That way I don’t break any promises when I change my mind or if (when) things don’t turn out. It […]

I’m going away for a little less than a week and I’m not going to have any internet access, so no working on Caverns of Underkeep and no updating the blog. For those of you testing the game, please still give feedback, I really do appreciate it, you can leave comments on the blog if […]

The target date for alpha 2.0 is Jan 15, 2008 and will contain 5 levels of the dungeon.
Over the last couple […]
