Hey my creative friends, I would like to dedicate today's update to very special people from the community who continuously inspire us with their feedback and observe our work with a critical eye!
Attached is a fantastic video from Monster Maze (120k subs), check it out and give him a like. it's really fun to watch!
Very special people who are active on our Discord server every day and support SDM since day 1, I would like to mention here and of course our thank you also goes to ALL of you out there who give us their trust!
Trestos, LagiaLugia, Einfach Nivan, Envao, Kuro Megumi, PatSchi23, Fainspirit and many more!
Currently, the Steam Awards are running and it would be awesome if you have a look at this and nominate us for innovative gameplay 🎮
Super Dungeon Maker is now freely available for university level Game Design students, already used for teaching across Europe and North America!
Yes you read right, we want to give game design students all over the world to learn with Super Dungeon Maker! This means your teacher or professor can write us a mail at edu@rokaplay.com and request keys for their students!
Why we do this?
Thanks to all of you our Kickstarter is successful and we want to give something back to the industry and say thank you! If you are interested in a game code to try the game or want to request a set of codes for university courses, please just let us know.
1st Stretch goal unlocked - let´s reveal a secret!
You guys are just amazing! You have cracked the first stretch goal and thus a new theme on top for all!
At this point, a huge thank you to all backers and also separately to the 3 high-tier-backer who will create through their efforts THREE additional themes for ALL, together with us!
We can't thank you enough, so we thought of a very special stretch goal for you as the next step! When we reach 40k we will add a new character skin for all of you! We know that a lot of people have asked for this as they would like to play “another” character. With this stretch goal, we also want to show that we are hearing our community and follower.
After the Kickstarter, a new character skin will be chosen from a selection we are currently working on, by all of you if we reach this stretch goal, as soon as this is unlocked we will show you different character skins.
Please remember that we have to re-pixelate every movement frame by frame and this process takes a lot of time.
Thumbs are pressed that we can reach this awesome challenge!
First of all, a huge thank you to all of you! You are the most amazing community and your support is priceless! We have achieved our goal together and so quickly! We can't wait to see what we can do together 💙
Stretch goal ahead
You already saw it but I still want to tell you what the first stretch goal is. Another whole theme! Which will be for Nintendo Switch AND Steam! I can't wait to show you which one it will be!
If you could wish for a theme which would you pick? Drop your ideas in the comments! We want to collect more ideas with you together!
There has been some confusion and uproar regarding our Kickstarter campaign so please let us clarify a few things:
Our Kickstarter campaign is meant to fund the Nintendo Switch port as well as some additional stretch goals. These stretch goals, if reached, will be implemented on top of our original roadmap, which we will complete regardless of the campaign's outcome.
This means that as an Early Access buyer you will actually benefit from even more content than we originally planned. As of right now, you will get at least two additional themes as well as multiple pets thanks to two high-tier backers (1000€) now that the campaign is funded.
We also feel that it is fair to offer some exclusive content to those of you who want to support us with more than the minimal amount. If you already bought Super Dungeon Maker you can also pick the minimal pledge and then customize your add-ons to get access to the exclusive theme.
We do understand that this is a concern for some people that may want to pay the extra amount for the exclusive content but may not be able to do so right now. For that reason there will be the possibility to order all items, including the KS exclusive pets +dungeons, after the Kickstarter via the Backerkit store. This would probably be the best option for EA users. We hope we were able to clarify things and address your concerns.
Help us bring the game to Nintendo Switch and add new content for PC and Switch! Drum rolls…we just pressed the button, IT IS ALIVE! OK ok, I´ll stop with these word games ;) Super Dungeon Maker is NOW live on Kickstarter!
Other ways to support us - Let´s get loud!!! 🎉
These first days of the Kickstarter will have a HUGE impact on the whole campaign. Even if it's not a good time for you financially, it would be fantastic if you supported us on your favorite social media platforms.
Now it´s all serious let´s rise to the top and above all together! If you have any questions just drop them in the comment section of our Kickstarter don´t be shy!
Key Features:
Build your own dungeons easily in just few steps
Cross-platform compatible through MOD.IO
Channel mechanic makes it easy to "program" creative or complex dungeons.
The porting to Nintendo is very cost-intensive, as it also has to be done externally, and we would like to cushion these costs with a Kickstarter and deliver great packages to you in time! Since we also have some ideas to improve and expand Super Dungeon Maker (like a Singleplayer Campaign) we hope for your support to achieve more than just the porting goal.
Boys, girls and Fink´s off every age do you wanna see something strange…. Welcome too… well ok it´s not the town of Halloween but this year, for the first time in Fink´s life he has to survive the spooky session!
The golden egg gods, bringing the creeps to town!
Spiders, pumpkins, shadows and more are waiting for you. Build your very own spooky Dungeons and show us who´s brave enough to defeat them! Will YOU survive the thrill?
Disclaimer:
The dungeons built during the event will remain as Halloween dungeons, once the event is over you will not be able to build new spooky dungeons under the Halloween theme! So be quick!
As you may noticed, we started our FIRST in-game-event with Super Dungeon Maker!
21st of Oct - 2nd of Nov
Let´s get spooky with our Halloween theme! The forest has been cursed and turned into an eerie place. Can you build the scariest Dungeon during this session?
What happens afterwards?
Your wonderfully scary creations will not be lost, they will be preserved with the Halloween Theme and can continue to be played. But, when the event is over, no new Halloween dungeons can be built.
At this point, a huge thank you to the greatest community in the world! Thank you so much for your support!
Together we will soon go one step further and start our Kickstarter journey together! With your support we want to port Super Dungeon Maker to Nintendo Switch!
