ADOM R70 (version 2.2.4) upgraded to public status
So far we have received nothing but positive feedback regarding our performance improvements in R70. In many cases the new version seems to triple the available framerate. Thus we have decided to upgrade R70 from Steam beta status to public status so that you all automatically will receive the update.
If you activated the beta version please turn the property settings back to the default so that you also receive future updates.
This blog entry detailed the changes in R70: http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com/2016/09/adom-r70-released-as-steam-beta.html
Have fun playing!

ADOM R70 (version 2.2.4) released as a Steam beta!
ADOM R70 now is available as a Steam beta (meaning that you manually need to activate it if you want to try it - see below).
The biggest and most important change is a new internal cache mechanism that should greatly enhance the graphical performance of the game. Try it out and tell us about your experiences!
Here you find all the (short) details:

ADOM R69 (version 2.2.3) released as a public Steam version!
We are happy to announce the release of ADOM R69 (version 2.2.3) as a public Steam release.
You can find all the details of the release explained here:
http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com/2016/09/adom-r69-released-to-both-steam-players.html
All in all it is in itself a rather minor bugfix release with some performance improvements but combined with the features from R65, R66, R67 and R68 (which were only released as Steam beta versions) you get a pretty improved game with many new detail features and bug fixes. You can find the full changelog for those versions here: http://www.adom.de/home/changelog.html
We hope that we have a very stable release with R69 and are checking right now, if we are going to do an R70 version with more graphics performance improvements (depending on results of tests we currently are doing) or continue working on the next major content release. If we manage to improve performance we'll do another small release and only then continue on tons of new content.
We'll keep you updated!
Happy hacking!

You can find all the details in this blog post:

And now enjoy the latest release - it took much too long but we think that it is great :-)

Long overdue update on the status of ADOM
After a far too long period of too much silence I today posted the long overdue update on the status of ADOM development.
http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com/2016/05/the-state-of-adom-long-overdue-update.html
It doesn't contain the answers to all questions but is a relaunch of my activities after feeling sick for much too long.
Sorry for all the silence - I know that no communication is the most stupid communication of them all. I'll try to improve in that regard.
Concerning ADOM development I'm now working to get my job back on track. See the blog post for details and see the next updates.
Kind regards

Steam Trading Cards added to ADOM
Starting yesterday (yes, I'm late - Team ADOM right now is faster than I am ;-D ) ADOM now also sports five Steam trading cards that you can gain for playing ADOM (if you are into such things). In addition we have customized badges and emoticons. Krys has done an awesome job in creating beautiful high-res images for the cards and stuff :-)
We hope you will like them - enjoy!
