Update #119: Game Engine Updated
It’s a busy time! We have successfully upgrade the game from Unity 5.6 to 2019.3 and will now continue to track with the latest Unity versions. Dungeon tech continues to develop as we add grime and staining to the walls. Finally, we will soon start working on Build 13 - Combat, where you get to participate in the design discussion.

Update #117: Let’s Play 3d dungeons (Build 12.1)
Today my good friend Neil joins me for a totally unscripted playthrough of Build 12 and the 3D dungeons. When I say unscripted, everything that could go wrong, did! Audio problems, gameplay bugs, 10 foot poles, live code editing and game recompiling, all in the unwavering quest to find The Grigg Ring!
Every other Let's Play of Archmage Rises will be better than this one!
