An update! No new content or anything particularly fancy, but this is one I've been working on for a while; Finally upgrading to the newest version of Game Maker Studio instead of using the pre-2.3x version that is - at this point - over two years out of date. It was one of those situations where upgrading to the more recent tools fully broke the game, but continuing to use the older engine was gradually accumulating its own slew of problems, to the point where at last it became imperative to make the jump regardless of the cost in time and effort. So for the past few months that's what I've been doing! I wish I had more content for you but alas, it's mostly just the invisible kind of progress; rewriting old bits of code that have obsolesced or depreciated into non-functionality. In any case, the upgrade has gone relatively smoothly and has also given me access to a huge number of new engine features that I'm eager to use, which should help hasten along the rest of the game just that much faster. I did also manage to fix a bunch of crashes and bugs -- including one elusive crash in particular that had been hounding the game for years! And now that the engine update is mostly out of the way (I'm sure there are still some issues here and there that need addressing, but hopefully nothing too major) I'll be refocusing my efforts fully back onto finishing and releasing the Deep Dark.

The Origin Of Dungeons
500 Years ago the demon sorceress Abys was sealed away beneath her fortress by 4 legendary heroes and a 5th forgotten one. Over time, no longer held stable by Abys' magic, the fortress sank into the earth, becoming a haven for foul creatures, dark magicks, and the refuse of the Over-World. The fortress, now deep beneath the earth, became known as The Catacombs, and kids from all over found themselves drawn into its shadows - seeking riches, power, knowledge, and escape. Now, coming-of-age ceremonies and criminal sentences alike all revolve around plumbing the depths of The Catacombs, and the legend of Abys has been all but forgotten. Some say she yet sleeps in the dark below, the seals that keep her contained growing ever-weaker.What Lies Beneath
Catacomb Kids is a procedurally generated platformer, with an equal emphasis on quick reactions, tactical engagement, and strategic character growth. Wield swords, spears, axes, and daggers -- unleash powerful magicks to burn, freeze and poison foes with -- overcome traps and beasts both deadly and unrelenting.The game is streamlined but not "simple", featuring a system where basic elements interact to create complex outcomes and stories. Lure monsters into combat with one another or take advantage of environmental hazards to trick your foes into their own bloody demise. The world is your crafting space, allowing you to create new items and tools from within the game-space itself, never needing to farm materials or navigate a menu to demonstrate your cleverness.
