Deluge
Deluge PHYSICAL COPIES are now available!
I'm doing a short run of physical CD-ROM copies of DELUGE in order to fundraise for my current project, GENTLE! You can now own a shrink-wrapped, physical copy of my skeleton game, and every order entered before the end of day, June5, will have their name or username included inside the booklet!
I've been having a blast revisiting the game to create the perfect traditional CD-ROM edition of the game, and have been updating the game one last time to make it even more robust and functional, which you'll be able to experience on the disc and via Steam/Itch if you already own the game, so stay tuned for that!
All proceeds from this disc will go to helping me fund and develop my latest project, GENTLE! I've been working with programmers, artists and more on this one and can't wait to start sharing more information on it.
CLICK HERE to grab yourself one!
Thank you everyone for your support! It means the world to me!!!!

One year of DELUGE! - 50% off + V.1.6.2 out now!
I HAVE FIXED MORE BUGS
First thing's first... there's a new, minor update to the game. I started to see this error pop up in a couple of new playthroughs, so I had to jump at it and fix quickly! When you would leave an unlocked area (after the 'chest room') the game would crash and identify "Invalid Map Event ID: 69" which, while a funny error, this was breaking the game, so it had to go!
v.1.6.2 - Thanks for sticking with me through the development cycle! :)
- Fixed a funny bug: "Invalid Map Event ID: 69" :)
- Fixed a couple of mapping inconsistencies
- Minor updates to dialog speed/expressions
- Minor graphic updates
Thank you to everyone who pointed the errors they saw out to me and for sticking through the game despite it!
DELUGE IS FEATURED ON RPGMAKER.NET FOR OCTOBER
I'm really grateful to RPGMaker.net for choosing DELUGE as the featured game for the month of October on their website. I've been a fan of this site and a member of its community since its inception and it means a lot to be supported by such an awesome community. Many other RPG Maker 2003 developers (and beyond) have become genuine friends, and for that I am grateful. Thanks guys!
DELUGE IS DISCOUNTED ON STEAM
Furthermore, starting today, the game will be available on Steam for a short time for 50% off! That's a nice, spooky horror RPG for the season for only $1 USD! The sale lasts for a short time only, so if you haven't picked up the game yet, I hope you'll consider doing so!
