The game is now available! I'm writing this one day post release since yesterday we already had so much stuff going on. The release seemed to go well and we're getting really nice feedback from all kinds of channels.

Currently we're already working hard on some updates according to your feedback. Thank you and keep it coming! Thanks for all the players so far and also to those who'll start adventuring in the future! We're also working on our first content update, which will add one more enemy type into the dungeon biome: The Bombardier Kobold! It looks like this:




We'll be first posting the updates into a "beta branch". We'll post instructions on how to access this branch when the first patch goes live there. The idea is that the most daring players can try the beta-branch build earlier and the main branch will be more stable.

Someone also was able to turn of the shadows in the game, which can make it look a bit strange. We're not sure how to achieve that, but if you know, comment below, e-mail us at [email protected] or join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/QjhPxzMQ

The game looks like this without shadows:

We'll be having a live launch stream for Skeletal Avenger starting at 11 AM GMT / 14:00 EET and lasting for at least an hour or two. If there are a lot of viewers, we might continue longer.

We have an early access release date: April 28th! The exact time is 11 AM GMT / 14:00 EET.

The Early Access version will have two biomes: Dungeons and Sewers. We're also working on the next two biomes, which we plan to release during early access.

Currently we're also preparing to send keys out to streamers. If you're a streamer and interested in streaming or making videos, contact us at [email protected] with your channel details.
