Yes my fellow Urizen Shadows of the Cold Deluxe Edition fans this is the December update after taking that long break as of September. First of all I'd like to thank Efe Tozan, my digital musician very much for providing me with some very cool soundtracks. Thanks.
Down to business...
I have been working very hard on further removing
unwanted bugs and errors, while also creating new stages, they are
The Road to the Light Temple stage
The Light Temple stage
The Graveyard stage
Bloodgore's Castle stages
Outskirts of Bloodgore's Castle stage
Azurite stages
Mystic Falls is in the works.
I've redone two of the Ancient Seas ship stages... it kicks toittle arrrse.
A two player vs mode will not be coming out anytime soon, but it might be implemented in future updates, along with a stage creator that we'll might be full fledged, and of course, sweet.
We have two new warriors, Rampage a Kickboxer Monkey, and
Shunuai, so far.
The Travelers Guide is complete. Except for the Hut of Hero's and Villains. Coming Soon.
The Bazzar (store) is basically finished.
The multiple life gauge I believe still needs work.
The boss battle finale has been revamped, and is in the middle of a complete redesign.
Now as you can see coins and food lie on the floor in bags, precious stones, lives and continues in treasure chests.
I've zoomed out the view, giving the player more room to "see" what's going on.
There's two new power-ups you can now purchase, invincibility and the elixir.
Stage design is in the process of being looked at and re-imagined.
I have redesigned the map stage select, now when you go over a certain land it will flash a red transparent color outlining the area that land belongs to, for easier identification.
And sure enough unfortunately the game will not be available until mid 2017, but for now it's half off.
A complete cut-scene based story-line will get built.
A new website is done visit www.bloodshadowgames.net
There is an Android version readily available but it works without on-screen buttons. I'm gonna try to implement them, and put it on Google Play... Luck with that.
I'm working on customizable key input.
I've added a "continue" icon that resembles a crown, giving you an idea of how many continues you've stored.
As for now my fellow Urizen warriors you can all see I've been pretty busy, and now more than ever, you all can see my artwork has improved and is getting much better. I hope keyboard implementation wasn't everything, but like everyone wanted keyboard implementation...it has been effectively implemented, so no worries there. Remember if you obtained the free Orlygift gamepad only version we'll it's time to update on www.Steampowered.com. Oh and GFX wise I found that Game Maker Studio was readily available to sharpen the GFX out, truly bringing that pixel quality I'm striving for. Anyhow this concludes the December 15, 2016 update... 'till June 2017 or earlier. Keeping it 16 bit, with no artificial flavors or fancy gimmicks. Merry Christmas!!!

Raise your battleaxes Urizen DX is coming.
Yes at this point I'm glad to say Urizen Shadows of the Cold DX is starting to look pretty frosty at this point. I've got the layout on how the Urizen bazaar is going to look like, I'm happy to say it looks pretty cool with all the neat stuff you can purchase. I've got potions, warriors, stages, lives and other things that will raise the replay value up a level.
There is now 3 modes of play Warrior Mode, with the usual set of rules. Conqueror Mode which inflicts you with twice the damage and there is no auto kill (this is yet to be implemented). Then there is Supreme Mode where you basically get one life per warrior, if he/she dies, he/she remains dead. Here's a picture...
Long ago I had made a neat stage creator for an older game, I am sure I can replicate the same process but this will take a lot of effort, so give me a chance and it will be all worth it. Also, there are talks on a versus mode. I want to say it's going to happen, but it is too early to say. I will see that the stage creator is made solely for the versus mode if I do decide to make it. And like I had mentioned before there will be more warriors and they will include "Rampage"; a cybernetic chimpanzee, "Blu Claw"; an alien feline, "Firerunner"; an older warrior removed from the Urisis game early on, "Kotto"; makes her debut in Urizen The Serpents Fang, and The Emperor of Sands.
And Lastly I'd like to introduce the names of the new stages, they are the Bloodgore's Castle of Vampires, the Temple of Light, Azurite Waters, The Enlightened Road, and finally the Graveyard. This is a lot of work, and yes you are all probably wondering if I will be able to complete it, god is willing I put too much effort and I am not stopping now. :) So raise your battleaxes Urizen DX is coming.
Hello there fellow warriors, I'm sorry to say that due to change of code capability, I will not be able to add that cool create a warrior I've been wanting to implement in Urizen Shadows of the Cold DX. I will though add 4 new stages they are the Dragon's Lair, Bloodgore's Castle of Vampires, the Light Temple, and Azurite Lake. The new warriors being released will be Rampage - A cyborg chimp, Blue Claw - A blue alien feline, Firerunner - an older warrior I made, Kotto - she's in Urizen Zero, Arguine's Ghost -also in Urizen Zero, Kidd - a young ogre. More GFX updates will be available, and SFX will be adjusted but not replaced. But wait there's more, there will be a stage creator available...one will be able to download and create fan made stages.
We'll that's all for now.
I'll keep you guys posted.
URIZEN SHADOWS OF THE COLD DX COMING SOON...
That's right my fellow warriors, Urizen Shadows of the Cold will be getting a big upgrade. It will include a Create a Warrior like I had designed early on. A Urizen Shop where you may buy projectile power-ups, warriors, etc. New warriors. Some new stages. Revised Graphics. New Intro plus a new "cold ice" theme throughout the game. Better unique SFX's. Mouse capability, small tutorial in the first stage. More cut-scenes featuring that mystical shaman we all care about and maybe more. I want to say I will be adding a versus mode...but that may come along later.

Hello everyone, this is the 04/15/2016 update bringing in 3 new updated stages, a new User Interface with easy to read text that includes a glass sphere health meter of blood indicating your health, fixed a few more bugs, updated some sprites, removed the crappy map and added a more visually friendly stage select and behold you got something to look forward to.
