Dungeonmans is a truly top-tier roguelike developed by Adventurepro Games (Jim Shepard), released in late 2014. I had the opportunity to write the soundtrack for the game and even contribute a few kibbles worth of content. If there's a single game that has been a big inspiration for Tangledeep, it would have to be Dungeonmans.
Jim has also been a game programming and design mentor to me from the start, before Tangledeep was even a twinkle in my eye. Without his extensive experience and valuable advice, this game simply would not have been possible.
So, it's with great excitement that can announce Jim is joining the Tangledeep team as a full-time programmer! This is a huge deal since I've been the only one writing code so far, and there are so many things I want to do. He'll be squashing bugs, collaborating on awesome new features, optimizing the engine, and doing prep work for ports to other platforms yet to-be-announced.
Exciting times!
If you're a fan of Dungeonmans, you'll want to read his update announcement here about how this will affect future Dungeonmans dev. (Spoiler: It will slow down, especially compared to the 2+ years of support the game has already received, but Dungeonmans is NOT dying and there is more to come!)
