Hello! Today I'm announcing my next game, Terminal Reign. I've been working on this for a few months now, and I'm really excited to start showing it off and posting about it more, especially to players of my other games. So please take a look and maybe wishlist. If you like Directory Dungeon , you might like this similarly interface-driven game. Terminal Reign A vast empire struggles to maintai…
A fix update in response to a funny little player reported crash. When putting NPCs into boxes (or any container), if you did it again after they climbed out then the game would crash. This was happening because after the NPC climbed out the game wasn't restarting the encounter, so when you put the NPC back in the box the game attempted to resolve an encounter that wasn't currently taking place…
Small update with regards to a crash reported by a player, massively helped along by the logs they provided (thanks again!). The player was getting intermittent crashes which, from the logs, were caused by the game accessing one of the shortcut files while it was being used by another process. This was on a shortcut that the game had created less than a second ago, so most likely the approach I…
Quick update before InterfaceX26 starts tomorrow. A bug report from a player highlighted something which has been in the game since the start, but only very very rarely hits. The bug is that if you move an NPC while you're in combat, the game can crash. This is something I've tested many times before and found working fine, but when I tried to reproduce it myself after reading the bug report, i…
Hello! Today I get to announce that Directory Dungeon will be part of the InterfaceX26 Showcase! But what is InterfaceX? InterfaceX InterfaceX is a developer-led initiative and Steam sale celebrating “Fake OS” games - titles that take place within digital interfaces such as desktops, operating systems, chat logs, and devices. A grassroots initiative by more than 150 developers and publishers, I…
Small quality of life and fix update for v1.17. Yesterday a player popped in the Discord with a crash report (they provided full logs so I got to reap the benefit of the recent additional logging I added) caused by a nice corner-case. They had teleported between two rooms which were adjacent but had still-hidden doors. The game crashed when it attempted to remove the "(back)" tag from one of th…
Very small v1.16 update after a user reported an interesting bug. When verifying changes to shortcuts the game was comparing file paths with case sensitivity, which it shouldn't do since Windows' file system is case-insensitive. On this particular user's machine a path was sometimes being read with some changes to character casing, but not the overall file path, so the game thought the path was…
This update is to cover some gaps in the game's robustness. I watched a stream of the game earlier today and saw the streamer really enjoying the game and discovering how it all worked, but then they died and kept getting an exception when entering the 'restart' command. The problem was that when the game restarts it deletes the "Game" folder which contains the game world and then re-creates it…
Small update for a few days after release. Thankfully so far there haven't been any bugs to fix (except one potential one that's still being investigated) and mostly it's been typos and small tweaks. Turns out that when I updated Visual Studio recently it turned off my spell check... at least that's my excuse. v1.13 Changelog - Fixes for typos in tutorial and room name text. - Updated demo and…
Hello! The full version of Directory Dungeon is now released and available to purchase and play on Itch and Steam for the incredible price of $1.30! (That's $1.99 discounted by 35% for 2 weeks!) If you'd prefer, the demo is still available and offers a sizeable chunk of the game. I was originally meant to release earlier this month on the 4th, but I had some travel plans change and then I wante…
Hello! Version 1.8 of the demo has been released with a bunch of quality of life changes (some pretty tricky to implement, I'll have you know). The demo will be taking part in Next Fest in less than a week's time, and then soon after that the full version will be released! Exciting! v1.8 Changelog: · There was an issue revolving around the fact the player's health is represented in their folder…
Hello! The demo is now released! You can download it right now here on Steam ! The demo is probably about 30 minutes long and lets you experience the whole "file explorer" thing, along with being a little replayable due to randomness. The full release is coming in March , just after February's Next Fest ends, so look out for that. :)
