• Essentially, v0.4 is a new game! - 12 January 2026

  When I saw the surprisingly low interest in the heroic fantasy adventure game I made, I was somewhat surprised and discouraged, as I genuinely thought I had created something unique and interesting, worthy to be played regularly. But numbers don’t lie, so I had to accept reality and decided to focus my efforts as a solo game developer elsewhere.I couldn’t completely abandon all hope though, and my mind worked tirelessly to figure out what could have gone so wrong and what I could do to give Dragon Riddler one more chance to shine.Then I made the decision and simply removed what I felt was not as good as it should have been. The Journey act was either too easy or too hard, but seldom in between. Realigning the focus on what worked – the word duel – was clearly the sensible design pillar, but it needed to be put into a framework that has become the system of Regions.Regions are self-conta…

• Development Resumed! - 25 October 2025

  Rejoice! Good news!Even though I've been focusing on a completely new game project, I've decided not to let a good year's effort go to waste. Despite the odds, I will complete and release Dragon Riddler too.Based on feedback I received, it seems to me that the Journey act, in which the adventurer searches for the dragon's lair, was either way too easy or frustratingly hard.Over the couple of months I had the development of Dragon Riddler on hold, I kept thinking about it a lot. I believe I have figured out how to make the game better in every regard.The concept changes a bit. Don't worry: it's still very much about seeking treasure and fighting dragons of various breeds and age categories, so let me explain what's coming.The word-duel system will dominate the game, and your adventurer will fight the kinds of enemies you'd expect in heroic fantasy. You've already faced some during Journe…

• Dragon Riddler Development Halted - 15 July 2025

  Since launching the Dragon Riddler demo, Steam engagement and wishlist growth have been minimal.As a solo creator, I have to be careful with where I focus my time and energy, so I've decided to cut my losses and pause development indefinitely.Many thanks to all who tried the demo and offered their thoughts.Sandor

• Hotfix for Steam Deck - 20 June 2025

  Despite testing thoroughly on Windows, Mac, and Linux, I didn't realize the game was unplayable on Steam Deck. It couldn't detect the correct screen size, so only the top left corner was visible.After finally getting my hands on a Deck, I discovered the native Linux build was causing the issue. Strangely, the Windows version via Proton worked fine.It took a lot of investigation and trial-and-error, but I eventually worked out a solution that makes the native Linux version run properly on Steam Deck, while still behaving as expected on desktop platforms.If you previously launched Dragon Riddler on Deck, your settings might still force the wrong resolution. To reset them, tap the top left corner of the main menu and press the green confirmation button.This hotfix should install automatically, so you don't need to configure anything.Please let me know if you find any bugs!Cheers,Sandor

• Hotfixes and some pleasant adjustments - 1 June 2025

  Critically annoying bug fixed: The primary objective of this update was to correct a bug, which prevented some boons like the Farstrider Boots from activating. A minor annoyance was squished too: The game failed to remember the correct display on multi-monitor setups. Earthquake & Crystal Obelisks Earthquake is a new game event in v0.3, and I realized that it'd be neat if the tremors actually harmed Hazard-type encounters (i.e. Obstacles and Foes), in addition to shifting everything around a bit. Crystal Obelisks have also been added in v0.3 as a new type of Obstacles that subtly hint at the lore of the fantasy world of Dragon Riddler, but it seemed logical to me that these crystal structures should be more vulnerable to Earthquakes. Now they are. Severe Wounds & Fierce Determination Severe Wounds is a status effect, which was present since the first public release. When the dragon ridd…

• Version 0.3 Released! - 30 May 2025

  Better dragons, a new Joker system, more turn events & encounters and boons. NEW FEATURE: DRAGON COLORS & BETTER TACTICS As a purely aesthetic and very apparent change, dragons now have colors. But the real improvement here is that they are now much more tactical, and when in a desperate situation, will intentionally focus on defending themselves until they can retaliate. And they will retaliate, as these are evil beasts! Additionally, Severe Wounds is now only applied to Hatchling dragons. There is a new status effect, called Fierce Determination, that activates when an Adult dragon or the Hero (or Heroine) loses 70% of their Life. When this happens, the character gains +1 Word Builder capacity to resist defeat as sheer willpower triumphs over the failing flesh. NEW FEATURE: REGULAR & MERCY JOKERS It was already possible by spending Providence to use Joker letters that could stand in f…

• Version 0.2 Released! - 13 May 2025

  Announcing the release of a new major feature and several changes: NEW FEATURE: TURN EVENTS Both Journey and Duel have their own, unique turn events, which mostly, but not always, present extra challenges for the player. The next turn event is shown near the top left corner of the screen. Hover that area to learn more and to see what further turn events you should expect. More turn events are coming soon. NEW BOONS Miner Kit Watcher of Signs A NEW FOE Barrowmidges CHANGES An in-game changelog, as it is more convenient to see the updates right in the game. Thief now attempts to flee after a successful theft. Some Foes are now slightly stronger. Dragons start a bit smarter. Hall of Fame shows the total adventure time. New Journey music: Children of the Forest by Alexander Nakarada (see Credits) New music for the Fallen screen: Hymn of the Mountain by Alexander Nakarada (see Credits) Confi…
