- Steam Recommends - 25 November 2020
- Milestone Achieved! - 3 November 2020
And I owe it all to you! Thankyou my loyal patrons. For those that do not know: Steam DOES pay out, but only after you have hit multiples of at least $100 (less their many deductions...) Be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! Ha! Meanwhile, please do enjoy this little mod:- Dungeon Master - re-skin MOD Seriously thanks - as you can tell I'm not in it for the money, but Free games get ZERO store exposure, thus the DLC idea to promote this game. I still think the combat could be simplified and the artwork style needs to be made crisp and clean... but hey. It's been emotional. X Dave.
- Mod Released - 30 March 2020
AVAILABLE HERE: Mod DB link This mod replaces all artwork with the original Atari ST artwork by Andy Jaros. This mod also replaces all music with Wayne Holder's awesome FM Towns score. 1987 saw the release of DUNGEON MASTER.

- Thankyou to the patrons! - 10 March 2020
Do you remember 2017? Well I do - that's when I started this madness... Super Dungeon Master was released with very bad art and unintuitive controls... however it played a lot more like 'Gauntlet' - and some did prefer this. So it is now available for those who want it as a thankyou. PS: if you still want it without purchasing DLC, let me know and I'll host on dropbox and post link here. :)

- 3.40 - improved timed combat - 27 March 2019
v3.40 - improved combat: - combat timed attacks now graded, being more varied - XP bonuses improved: leaders and those with high luck gain extra xp - rebalance of initial levels - more bonuses for solving puzzles and unlocking achievements - torches: now light up level fully when light levels max'ed. So now as you progress, the timed blocks should vary more: - when you are doing well, the timing gets very tough - on the first level and when you are low HP, you tend to avoid the big hits XP bonuses also rebalanced: so the leader gets a slight perk, and LUCK adds a perk too: so LUCK items effectively help level progression thanks to my stalwart testers for all the feedback :)

A modest update: Game assets optimised to improve performance HUD: now when facing DOWN, HUD minimises PARTY: team now chatter to indicate any needs, eg: if hungry or hurting INTRO: extra ghost tutorial at start to set-out basics of NPFW. Balancing of some combat LOOT: previous build - loot was virtually impossible for the unlucky, so boosted. Thanks for the QA and feedback dudes! Dave
- Build 3.01 released - 27 January 2019
Actually a minor update, however wanted to share: This build allows players to see their NPFW stats. ??????? some explanation: ============= RULES OF THE GAME Wanted to start explaining some of the hidden rules within the game logic: Firstly, there are 4 main secret values - Ninja, Priest, Fighter, Wizard ... All character classes have a mix of these values when picked, ranging from 0-4, usually. Usually, 4 points in total are spread across the NPFW stats for each starting character These values do not change throughout the game, unless class is changed. Accessories DO change these values however, often doubling them. Accessories can be changed in equipment window. Team leader can be changed by rotating party with 'A' (even a party of one, used to update) A party of champions uses a TOTAL of NPFW stats while on-map, however chanigng the leader will amend the value depending on the leade…
