Game update

Wondering if its Safe to Return....

This adds several improvements:

  • You can now switch between windowed and full screen mode
  • Monsters are slightly easier to hit
  • Wand class weapons have a few (not many) more charges
  • High-tier armors a bit more durability
  • Fireball now work more as intended (though not in the most ideal way)

This update might have come later, with more testing and perhaps a couple more things added on. However, I was trying to separate the Linux and Windows files, so everyone doesn't have both on all platforms, but can't get a second depot (bundle of game files) to upload properly. A proper update (with all files) was then pushed since the last one had removed the Windows files from the depot that actually works.

I am considering relisting, that maybe I was overreacting, assuming every technicality or not requesting and receiving an "age signal" (as some new laws demand). Perhaps going after minor indie devs over DRM-free, off-line, single-player games that do not track, collect data, sell microtransaction, allow communication with anyone, have any "adult" content, or anything else things they are concerned might harm children. So, its being considered. But, I don't want to flip-flop, I need to treat it seriously and in a businesslike way. So bringing it this back would be permeant (baring actual legal action or news of a rash of indie-devs being charged over such technicalities). It will also happen when I'm sure of making it as a permeant decision.

So maybe later this month, or maybe sometime next year (once the first of these laws is out and its real effects are known), this might have a kind of re-release (of the now improved game).

Game update2 Sep 2026Version 2.1.0Big improvements to enemy collision and movement. Spectres now have attack, pain, and death sounds (they will never have idle/aggro sounds, as they are stealth mobs). Some UI beautification. (Unfortunately, winged imps still don't really fly :( ) Probably last update, at the very least for a while.Game update25 Aug 2026Added Save-ResumeProgress is now saved each time you complete a level, and can be resumed later if you stop playing (as long as you don't die, permadeath is still there). Just because I'm no longer selling this doesn't mean I want to leave obvious problem in the game for those who have it.Sale27 Apr 2026Final SaleAs mentioned previously, Caverns of Evil will be discontinued at the end of this month due to my inability to comply with the various age attestation and age verification laws that are being passed as a solo developer with basically no money. (Se the previous announcement for details). There will be one final thank you and goodbye sale, starting tomorrow, April 28, 2026, and ending April 30, 20…
