- New adventure begins... Dreamspring. - 23 November 2024
Dreamspring... A new project which has been long in the works is finally announced. While it may seem similar to Necroslayer, nearly every system has been rewritten from the ground up. New weapon, quest, codex, inventory systems, and much more. Play testing will begin shortly and a demo is planned for February. If this new project seems interesting to you, feel free to add it to your wishlist and try the demo when it's ready. If these new systems are popular enough and the demand is there, then Necroslayer may get a new update to reflect this new system. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see. Check out Dreamspring Steam page here.
