Developer's View
Even if Not Another Dungeon?! has not even been released for a whole month by the time we write this, we would like to say a big thank you to all of you. You made this a wonderful year for us developers. It might not seem like it to gamers, but every download, review, and comment made our day better. We didn't expect such a small project to have such a great community.
Whether it's Alex, our Lead Writer, who is really happy about the slightest increase in the number of players, or Tarik, our Lead Composer, who can't really understand the praise for his fantastic soundtrack - we're really grateful for everyone who enjoys this adventure with us.
That gives us the incentive to work at full speed on new content for Not Another Dungeon?!. We really look forward to bringing you more content in the not too distant future!
"The release went better than we could even have imagined. We thank you all for your positive feedback." - Alexander "Archangel" H., Lead Writer of Not Another Dungeon?!
Player' View
Not Another Dungeon?! had two larger, closed beta tests prior to release, which were mostly attended by the Voice Actors and some of our friends.
After the first, longer test phase in June 2021, a lot of feedback had really built up, but we had all worked through until the second, shorter test phase in August. It wasn't a little work, but it was definitely worth the effort.
Minor rivalries have formed on the leaderboards. Content creators have created content on different platforms. It's almost a bit surreal.
"I always found the collaboration to be very pleasant and I love to see how much the community's opinion is taken into account both before the release during the beta phase and after the release." - Brian "Titankämpfer" R., Tester and Voice Actor of Para
Finally
Thank you so much for this fantastic year. We thank everyone who helped us, all Voice Actors, all players and of course you for reading this article! We hope 2022 will be even better! We will do our utmost to achieve this.
With best regards
Tim "Beatless" B., Director of Not Another Dungeon?!
P.S.: We can't wait to send you information about version 2.0.0! Stay tuned!
