Heathcliff's Battle Arena

While crossing the world in search of the Malice King, you'll come across the Battle Arena. It's run by a retired war general who gathers monster from all across the land to test people's combat skills. The tournaments here involve you fighting waves of monsters in a confined arena, and depending on how strong Heathcliff considers you, you'll have access to up to four different tournaments.

Additionally, there are a group of challenges designed to improve you skill level.

Challenges feature fighting a group of monsters while confused and going an entire battle without being hit. Not all the content here is unlocked the first time you visit. You'll want to return later to see what else is available. Read More!

Unlock Shop

Many of you who played the demo have probably been wondering what the Unlock Shop is and why it did nothing when you selected it from the menu. The Unlock Shop is a personal shop for each player, where items never run out and the stock is based around what achievements you have unlocked.

Items are unlocked for doing things like killing rare enemies, beating bosses, and doing large amounts of damage. Everything you buy from the shop sells back for the same amount, so you can easily try out items. Read More!

Item Spotlight: The Wayfarer's Wand

This expensive, store bought wand has a very powerful ability. Instead of just one special attack, it uses a random magic special attack. One attack may be a powerful magic blast, while the next may steal health. There's even a small chance the staff may buff you! But of course, not all effects are positive, so you better hope luck is on your side.

Check back later this week for a big announcement! Read More!

Quest Spotlight: The Depths of the World and the Forgotten Scroll

While traveling through the deepest dungeon, you may discover a wounded mage struggling to move on and asking for your help. The setup for this quest is simple, buried deep underground is the tomb of a legendary mage, and buried with him is a forgotten spell scroll. The quest giver is too weak to move on, and asks you to venture into the tomb and retrieve the scroll for him.

The challenges you have to face in this quest change with the random layout of the dungeon. The screenshot shows off a scenario where you must traverse a deadly obstacle course to reach the inner tomb area where the spell scroll is kept. Read More!

Item Spotlight: Bomb

This weapon was suggested by Dawnbomb, and I thought it was a really neat idea so I made sure to include it. Instead of a direct attack, the special attack of this item sets down a bomb. It counts down from 3, then blows up, damaging anything nearby. Even players suffer damage from the bomb, so make sure to stand back! This weapon is very useful for clumping monsters together and hitting them all at once. The bomb is quite special and can only be bought from an in-dungeon merchant. Read More!

Quest Spotlight: The Maestro

This is more of a minigame than a quest. The Maestro is a master composer known throughout the land, and lucky for you, he is willing to offer his services. He is willing to train anyone interested in music.

There are seven notes on the floor. The Maestro will play the middle note for reference, followed by a random note. Players must choose the right note to gain a point; choose wrong and you lose. Once you earn ten points, the party wins a reward, and the highest scoring player wins a bonus. Read More!

Item Spotlight: Fire Sword

This unique burning sword can shoot a powerful fireball attack. When a hero picks up this weapon, they have the versatility of switching between melee and range attacks at a moments notice. And being a sword covered in flames, it naturally has a chance of setting enemies on fire with each attack. No merchant can get a hold of one of these elusive blades, but treasure hunters say you might be able to spot one in the Catacombs. Read More!

Quest Spotlight: The Lost Sword

Since I'm working on quests and items, a couple people have suggested I post some updates showing off some of the quests and items in the game. So here is the start of short series of updates that will last until I'm ready to release the final game.

This shady, villain-like man asks you to pick up his lost sword, but refuses to explain why he is too afraid to do it himself.

The task seems simple enough. The sword is resting on the ground, surrounded by four inanimate stone statues. I bet nothing bad will happen when you pick it up. Read More!

What could it be?

What is this strange monster?

It took away over half my HP while trying to take a screenshot! You'll have to be at full attention if you want to come out of this challenging battle alive. Read More!

Title Screen

Ashingda 27 was kind enough to draw Dego a new title screen!

The title features a party of four facing off against a group of monsters, led by the Envoy of Malice. Read More!

Over 150 Items

Here's a screenshot showing a custom weapon made by razerx. Each set of weapons add new special attacks, giving a variety of ways for combat to play out. Many of the best items are found only as quest rewards, so always take the time to help an out NPC.

And keep a lookout! There just might be a secret shop hidden inside one of the dungeons. Read More!

The Catacombs

I've begun working on the Catacombs, Dego's penultimate dungeon. This level features the strongest, most unique enemies so far and has the most drastic graphic change between dungeons 1 and 2. Just what is burried in the depths of the Catacombs?

Be careful, skeletons and zombies are looking to add your corpse to the unkempt piles. And keep a close eye out, who knows what else haunts these narrow halls.

Explore the crypts and the burial mounds. Just watch out for traps!

Think your character is strong? Face off against the deadly vampires, capable of sucking the health right out of you and then transforming into a bat to make their quick escape. Read More!

Yeah, progress has been slow...

The last two weeks have been very busy for me, giving me only a brief chance to work on Dego. It didn't help that the NPCs for the latest dungeon required several new features added to the event scripting system. Not to mention the items given out as quest rewards required several new features to the item system.
