Dev Diary, 28 October 2016: LIVE!!!!!

  It’s been months of blood sweat and tears, but we keep our promises and here it finally is. The Living Dungeon now has complete Xbox Live support. From this point onwards you can slaughter your friends in cruel ways from the other side of the planet. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! There was also the benefit of fixing a […]

Dev Diary, 27 June 2016: Well look at that!

Given the timing of this post I imagine a lot of people might expect us to talk about Brexit. It’s an anti-climatic thing that happened and now we pretty much need to get on and try to do the best we can going forward. Ok. Moving on… More importantly than that, or maybe not but certainly more […]

Dev Diary, 05 May 2016: What have we been doing?!

We’ve been playing X-Wing miniatures! Really?!?   Really?!?   Really?!? Yes!, but that’s not all we’ve been doing. We (and by we I mostly mean Chantelle) have been busy fighting along to get the multiplayer working on both Xbox and PC. I did of course going to write up a dramatic post about that epic star wars battle on the main […]

Dev Diary, 22 February 2016: Doing Things Differently

I’m going to try and stay as serious as I can possibly manage for this blog post, because it’s about something that’s been genuinely interesting: releasing an unusual game and seeing how people react to it. I hope you all find it at least a little thought provoking. Before we get started I have to […]

Dev Diary, 1 February 2016: Finally! Death for everyone!

On the 29th of January 2016, the unthinkable happened. The Living Dungeon was released on Xbox One! As everyone always says, it’s been a long difficult journey. I’d like to say we got there in the end, but this is not the end. We are adding to the game in the very near future and […]

By get down, I of course mean ‘get The Living Dungeon on Xbox One!’ Awwwww Yeah! You heard that correctly people, The Living Dungeon is being released on Xbox One in less than a week. Just in time for the weekend. That’s right! On the 29th you can own The Living Dungeon. The Living Dungeon!  The… […]

Dev Diary, 27 October 2015: STEAM POWERED

There are a million (that’s an exaggeration I really mean about 5) things I’d like to talk about today, but there is really only one that’s important right now. The Living Dungeon is coming to Steam on the 2nd of Novemeber. That’s it. It will finally be out for everyone to play, and not just […]

Dev Diary, 4 September 2015: Finishing Touches

It’s the fourth of September so you all know what that means! You don’t? Me neither actually. I was hoping someone could tell me. Maybe it’s not that important. One sec and I’ll check Wikipedia… Turns out that’s the day the electrical age began. That’s kinda cool. I’m still kinda waiting for the space age […]

Dev Diary, 28 August 2015: Happy Day!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Nope. Despite being very close, we haven’t released The Living Dungeon yet, and I’m not celebrating our complete neglect of the blog while we get the game finalized either. That was just us being rubbish at blogging. As all but the most dullard-tastic of you may have guessed due to the huge picture of […]

Dev Diary, 17 July 2015: Behind The Scenes

Hey everybody, Just wanted to let you know that we managed to break everything when we tried to make a submission build. The particularly impressive thing was that it took 2 days for the brokenness to catch up to the rest of the game and stop it working. Some black magic must have been involved […]

Dev Diary, 10 July 2015: Wonder what happens if I touch this?

The picture above has no real meaning or purpose, nor is there any significance to Meru’s crazy glowing eyes. Other stuff is breaking so I’m using cheap distraction techniques. You know that thing that happens when you reckon a game is nearly ready to submit, then everything breaks. That’s what we did this week. And […]

Dev Diary, 06 June 2015: Op..i.t-mi…satio…n! Optimisation! OptmIztn!

This picture shows off nothing in particular. Maybe we’ll say the shadows on the cogs under the dungeon look quite nice perhaps. Not even sure we’ll keep those given what we’re up to right now. I was meant to do this post on Friday but we were busy eating ice cream.  I suppose we spent […]

Dev Diary, 26 June 2015: yokusel, the Agile Accountant

Bio Yokusel is the loyal accountant of the Tae family and has worked with them for many years, despite never developing the skills to speak a human language. Still, he manages to communicate through a series of “Yak” sounds and this has led to him being referred to as Yakky by many, which is very […]

Dev Diary, 19 June 2015: XBOX ONE! STEAM!

ANOUNCEMENT TIME! Yup. We’ve been sitting on this for a while.  Microsoft decided The Living Dungeon would do well to be on their marvellous XBox One Console. Today they let the world know it by uploading our announcement trailer, and putting a little silver ball in the corner. It’s fair to say that although we’re still […]

Dev Diary, 12 June 2015: Sajotir, the Ancient Puppet Master

Bio Sajotir knows more about the dungeon than anyone. This stru was there when it was sealed two hundred years ago and went into a deep sleep until he was recently awoken. Stru are odd creatures and seeing them in an anthropomorphic way can be dangerous. They do not think like people, or behave like people. They have […]

Bio Aralynne is the half sister of Meru, and although the two girls both followed the path of their respective mothers, they are still close and value their familial bond highly. Like her mother before her, Aralynne decided to follow the path of the Barossa Knights: an all female group of warriors bound by a […]

Support

Welcome to the support page for The Living Dungeon. In all honesty we’re sad that you’ve ended up here. I realise that board games can be complex to pick up, and also that sometimes software can go wrong despite our best efforts to make it bug free. If it’s help with playing the game that […]

Dev Diary, 29 May 2015: The Devout, a Reason to be Unreasonable

Bio The Living Dungeon holds an entity which has power beyond understanding. It wishes only to see suffering and to this end even prolongs the natural life of those who enter. It’s no surprise that a powerful being which offers immortality is sought out by many. The order who worship it are known as The […]

Bio Chantelle was once an expert con-artist who used her looks and charm to steal from nobles across the region. Unfortunately, she ended up getting caught by Lord Serflower whose lack of interest in women meant that her wiles were of no use to her. Her partner suffered a brutal death at Lord Serflower’s hands, […]

Just a short diary today since I did one earlier in the week already. I’ve been trying to fix a minor issue with the wretched. That’s the monster in the picture: also known to players of the original board game as ‘Party guys’. Recently I had to castrate them all as they were breeding out […]

Bio Many people end up in the dungeon because they have no other choice. Ashon isn’t one of them. He’s just here to pull off a heist. Ashon was born a wealthy noble, and orphaned as wealthy noble. Since his estate and business run just fine without him, he was left with a lot of […]

Dev Diary, 24 April 2015: From Concept to Final(ish)

Some people, for reasons I can’t fathom, are really interested in the process of how things are created. I’m one of them, and I still can’t figure out why I’m interested. As far as I can tell, understanding exactly how the mechanical timings of a clock function, doesn’t help me tell the time better, or stop me being late… […]

The title says it all really. When you make games. Stuff goes wrong. In the particular instance above we were recording some of the level transitions to add sound and ambience to, unfortunately Ben’s software also recorded the music he was listening to in the background. The results are not that great for the actual […]
