The Labyrinth Full Version Prerelease is live on the Beta branch!

Just like the title says, I'm very glad to announce that the prerelease for Version 1.0 is now live on the Beta branch! The branch itself is open, so all you need to do is right-click the game on Steam, click "Properties", click the "Betas" tab, and finally on the drop down click "beta". That's all! Once you close the menu it should automatically start the download for the prerelase!

Note that there might be a path issue. If you attempt to launch the game but get an error that says "An error occurred while updating The Labyrinth (missing executable)", you'll have to change the game file locations.

To do this, right-click the game on Steam, click "Properties", click the "Local Files" tab, then click "Browse local files". Check the file directory up top and see if looks like the picture below:



If it does then all you have to do is go into the "TheLabyrinth" folder, copy the game files, and go back to the parent folder, and paste all the game files there. You can then delete the "TheLabyrinth" folder. After all this the directory should look like this:



If you encounter any issues with the game, don't hesitate to post on the game's discussion forum, I try my best to answer all questions as thoroughly as I can! I hope you all enjoy the beta, I'm going to be trying my hardest to get the final product out as soon as possible.

Beta is about to receive a major update!

The time has come! I've finally completed and (hopefully) tested all playable classes thoroughly to the point where I can release an update in the beta branch for you to give a try!

I'm going to touch the game up for a bit longer, but once it's in a polished state I'll update the beta branch to allow those who own the game a chance to play a beta version of full release overhaul.

Some notes about this beta version:
  • Combat is completed, but there is only one enemy type and one boss type
  • All playable classes are fully equipped with their spells and upgrades
  • The game has no end and there are no special final bosses
  • Every other aspect of the game is complete in terms of item generation, inventory and statistic management, and room generation


I'll post an update shortly when I've updated the beta branch, so stay tuned!

Lots of Full Release progress has been made!

Just wanted to throw an update out since it's been a long while since my last update post. Lots of progress has been made! The time since the full release has had major progress. Spells and combat interactions have been implemented and the last remaining pieces are being put into place!

This means some of the last things that are left are completing spells, making all the enemies, and making sure everything looks good for full release! There's still quite a bit of work to be done, but a majority of the framework is done!

I'm getting more and more excited as full release draws near. I'll be making more updates as it gets even closer, so stay tuned!

A demo for full release is live on GameJolt!

I've uploaded a playable version of the demo onto GameJolt for those of you who want to play the teaser of full release and that already own the base game. Steam won't let me download the demo since I already own the game, so I assume the same goes for everyone else that owns it. This is a workaround since I want you to be able to experience the teaser!

Anyway, click here for the link, download it and tell me what you think!

The Labyrinth Demo is released!

The demo is available for download. Now I think if you already own the game you can't download the demo, which I didn't realize. I made this demo with the intention of it being a teaser for full release, but it doesn't let me download or play it. So with that in mind I'm most likely going to release the demo on another site like GameJolt and link it here once it's setup so those of you who own the game have the ability to play the full release demo! Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for your patience!
