New Game Announcement: I hope you all had a great holiday season. As it is the start of a new year, I thought it would be the perfect time to announce my new game! Arena Monarchy is a standalone expansion to Dead Monarchy and in some ways, you can consider it a spin-off title. In Arena Monarchy you are put in charge of a ludus and must train up a stable of gladiators to defeat the legendary cha…
Hey guys, What's this? Snow? A brief teaser at next year's major post-release content, "Northern Expeditions". More info will be released later towards the end of this year. New maps, new armors, new enemies (from early to end-game), entirely new weapons and abilities. Cheers, Kevin.
Hey guys, So firstly I know things have been a little quiet on the development side but rest assured things are going smoothly and I am still working on Dead Monarchy. Firstly for the past month or so, I've had to shuffle around my plans again as the freelance modeler that I work with was free to do more work, that work being putting together new armour sets for the post-release content. Becaus…
Hey guys, So with the full release of Dead Monarchy, I've crossed a significant mental milestone. I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me over the years and to everyone that has bought the game. I especially want to say thank you to everyone that has left a review. Reviews are naturally hard to come by. I don't respond to every review as sometimes there isn't anything further to say or…
Hey guys, After several demos and a complete rebuild of the game, 6 years of development has flown by and Dead Monarchy has now been fully released. I've put my all into this game, I didn't abandon it and even chose to completely rebuild the game midway through development. I feel like I can say that as a developer, I held up my end of the deal. Let's now take a look at the entire journey that…
Hey guys, Special Caesar has been streaming a let's play series for the rebuilt Dead Monarchy. He is the first to stream the rebuilt version so if you are interested in checking it out, head over to his YouTube channel. It's always interesting for me to watch players play my own game and I've taken on some of his feedback as well. I'm always grateful to streamers who take the time to showcase D…
Hey guys, It’s time for another update and this will be a big one to round out the year. There is quite a bit to talk about, but let’s start with the big question first. I still don’t have an exact date but more or less by the end of this year I will be releasing the first update since I decided to rebuild Dead Monarchy completely from the ground up. The update will first be available on the be…
Hey guys, Following up a couple weeks ago when I posted the first look at combat, I want to show you guys the huge improvements I've made to lighting and the general look of the game. I've spent a few weeks delving into post processing and optimizing shadows etc and I'm pretty happy with the look so far. Of course the screenshots are still heavily WIP, I'm showing off the improvements I've made…
Hey guys, So I'd like to show you all a first look at the rebuilt combat, this is just 3 weeks of work so there is a lot that has not been implemented yet such as the UI and the environment. This also goes for sound effects and animations, I'm only using 1 sound effect so it will get a bit repetitive. The main things I want to show off are the new effects/features that I am adding to combat to…
