Version 1.99 is now released finishing up The Dagger From The Next Dimension series. This release contains all the updates and bug fixes done to the game in 2023. Here is a recap of the changes:
- Adding mechanics to support a future 3D version of DarkDIRE:
- Land elevation mechanics.
- Climbing and falling.
- Support characters facing 360 degrees. (Not noticeable in the 2d version)
- If your playing a character that can fly, double tap forward (like your are jumping) to fly up a foot. Double tap back to fly down a foot. If you stop flying in mid-air you may fall to your death.
- NPCs can now spawn flying high in the air. They will appear as shadows on the ground.
- Siege hammer can now lower ground elevation when striking dirt. Using dirt on already existing dirt will raise the elevation of the ground.
- A new hint system.
- The Empyreans of Wintenydd will now be seen invading the lands. The Empyreans are from another plane of existence and have a different culture than the current nations of the game. They have a unique character skill system with 5 unique classes.
- Gallant (Strength-Based Damage Class)
- Duelist (Dexterity-Based Damage Class)
- Shield-Bearer (Tank Class)
- Seer (Magic Class)
- Oracle (Healing Class)
- Added a new quest line in Swampstone focusing on the Empyreans.
- The game expanded to many new types of Aleya Wisps (one for each damage type) as originally intended.
- Menu text updated.
- Chat bubbles will use different fonts of text depending on the language being spoken.
- Windows client will now be 64-bit (Requires a 64-bit OS).
- Adding different skin colors for races.
- NPC Appearance will always spawn the same.
- Bug fix with boats.
- Reproducing livestock.
- New AI mode that makes character move and talk more. Currently only two characters are in the game using it, Aden the Guard Command and Crazy Pete just outside of the City Clerk's Office in Swampstone.
- Added some insects: butterfly's, dragonfly's and bees. Butterfly spawn in nature biomes. Dragonfly's spawn in swampy biomes. Bees are rare (they like roses).
- Certificates of Pardon are now a thing. This item can be used to be pardoned of your crimes.
- A magic reflecting effect can be added to shields. Time your block just right and you can reflect direct damage spells back at the caster. Doesn't work with AOE spells.

Few have not heard the legend of the Knight of Torn. Using a magic sword containing a powerful angel, Sir Tomas Weryn the Torn defeated many evils during his lifetime. He led his life dedicated to protecting his kingdom from evil.
But his day did come eventually. He fell during the Battle of Blackshield. He died fighting beside the great King Blackshield himself. Fighting against the Dark Remnant's undead army.
After the battle, his body was returned to his home kingdom. It was laid to rest in a grand mausoleum with his powerful sword. But this was not to be the end of the story for his sword.
Rumors have begun to be spread as of late. Sir Weryn's magic sword has been said to have returned from the grave. But it is no longer the righteous blade it once was. It is now said to be cursed with evil. Death eventually comes to anyone that attempts to use it.
Several evil factions are seeking the blade. And unfortunately for you, this cursed sword seems to have fallen into your possession.
Inspired by old-school rogue-like and RPGs, DarkDIRE uses simple graphics/animation to build a living world. Explore endless procedurally generated kingdoms and dungeons. Gain loot by raiding enemy kingdoms. Sell it to become rich and powerful. Maybe even powerful enough to rule your own kingdom.
DarkDIRE has rich character development. Choose any four of the fifty plus skills to build any type of character you can imagine. Craft armor and weapons specifically tailored for your character.
No save games. Your world is shared across all your characters. Also, adventure with a friend or enemy. Other players on your local network can connect and share your game world at any time.
