We are sad to say that after many hours of work and preparation for another patch we have come to a complete halt.
Recently we lost another member of our team and we wish the family our full condolences. Since we started this project we have lost 4 team members now and each time it has been more and more difficult to keep this project going.
We apologise to anyone who is disappointed and it was never our intention to do this to our fans but under the circumstances it has become impossible to continue this project. We could not even resort to our old backup files because they were damaged 12 months ago from an electrical fault that also destroyed years and years of irreplaceable work. So even if we wanted to continue this ourselves independently we have lost too much data and experienced staff. Sadly some things must come to an end.
Therefore, due to our current overhead running costs and lack of staff who were part of the original project, we have to sadly say farewell to our project "DASM Spell Quest".
A huge thank you to all the people who were involved in this project. The game will be "as is" for now and we will try our best to add some files in the workshop that will open all the levels and help anyone who wishes to unlock certain achievements.
Leaving on a positive we do have other projects being created currently that use the UE4 engine and will be released later this year.
Thank you to all the fans who supported us over the years!
IBT Island and IBT Island Origional
WARNING!... AUSSIE SLANG BELOW! (A dictionary may be required.)
An Aussie game designed by legit Ferrals!
From the creators of the World of DASM Spell Quest series and still "Under Construction" we proudly introduce to you "IBT Island". It is currently being tested in a small but quaint community, IBT Island is a survival based game from Australia. With real Aussie terrain and native foods including a combination of introduced species of animals and true blue Aussie animals.
So where are we going with this blinking story?
You wake up on an abandoned Island somewhere off of the coast of Australia. You have no idea how you got there or why you are there. One thing you do know is that you are in a lot of bloomin trouble cobber. You can seek help to bugger off of the island by building various types of signals or even hang around if you wish. While on the island you can find answers to why you are there or just be ignorant and live life like a Bogan. The choices are yours to make mate.
Gather resources for your esky so you can eat and drink or you will be thirstier than a dingo and hungrier than a starving crow but its always best to remain Chockers.
Be like a Tradie and build a Humpy or Wurley to live in or one of those big rich places.
Watch out for nasty little critters.
Visit the dunny or long drop from time to time. (I don't have to explain this.....do I?)
Wear your Togs and be a Grommet and live on a beach but don't be a Shark biscuit.
Wear Speedos and Stubbies during the day and chuck on the Flannie and Dacks during the night.
Learn to be Fair Dinkum and don't whinge or sook.
Avoid being a Drongo or you might get crook, deadset.
Check out the native Olah Woop Woop Straya outback. Chew on some Salt Bush, make a Damper or wack on a Quandong pie.
There is a bonus game chucked in too and that's all I'm sayin so be really stoked about it.
I'm swishing the flies away till the cows come home but can't see where IBT Island is?
The Mozzies too loud mate? Like we said IBT Island is still being whacked together and is at its joey stage. Just be patient and it will all be sweet as but we are known to chuck a sickie and have a lot of smoko's from time to time. Sorry if your stumped about what's been said, but you need to chuck a shrimp on the barbie and chill this arvo and veg out a bit listening to Accadacca.
Overall we are checking out if we can raise a large enough mob interested in giving IBT Island the thumbs up. If we get a big enough tribe we will pop into STEAM and say "Here ya go!, are you still interested or are we going to bail?" Lots of hard yakka did go into this and we really love Straya and if we can get into STEAM we would be totally Rapt. If nobody is interested we will feel a bit like a Wally.
This game shouldn't be too iffy for ankle biters also.
Catch ya later.
So far so good.
Hello people!
No bugs have been reported since the full release of DASM Spell Quest!
Though, before releasing DASM Spell Quest we did go through a lot of painful and time consuming testing and fixed (or patched up), any bugs as we came across them.
Please, as a reminder contact us if you come across any issues at all. We are more than happy to take a look at anything that has been reported.
Have fun!
World of DASM, DASM Spell Quest Release.
Hi people!
Yes!.... Today is the day we release DASM Spell Quest from Early Access!.
To celebrate our release we currently are selling the software with 40% off!
The software has been through a number of tests and only a few bugs have been reported but we have fixed them to the best of our ability. If you do come across any bugs or issues please leave a message here in our forums https://steamcommunity.com/app/543910/discussions/0/1354868867706525555/ or email us at contact@worldofdasm.com
We hope you enjoy our "educational game" and the unusual twists and turns that it contains. There is no other software that uses our methods of teaching anywhere on the market. What makes it so unique is that it uses a combination of modern humor and old fashioned styles of learning. The visual environment of DASM Spell Quest has an old ancient feel to it but also has a combination of modern technology to give the player/user a feeling of familiarity but also mystery.
So sit back, relax...and enter The World of DASM if you dare. But be aware this software can be addictive to adults, so let the children play.
Have a great day!
No we are not Abandonware!
Hello everyone!
For some reason a Curator has posted that we are Abandonware. We do realize it had been quite some time since our last post but it would have been courteous if they had of Emailed us or contacted us first to see if this was a fact. We would have been more than happy to reply!!
So no, we are not Abandonware and we will attempt to fix any reported bugs or issues if reported. Currently we have not received any Emails or messages on anything that may be buggy or not working correctly. Also, since our release we have not had any complaints. Therefore, everything must be working fine!
We will continue to support our product for as long as possible but as always technology changes constantly and some newer hardware may no longer or will not support this software in the future without some form of emulator.
Please Email contact@worldofdasm.com or message us here in the community forums if you have any more questions. We will be happy to help!
Have a Great Day!!...
DASM Spell Quest leaving Early Access. (6th June)
Hello people!
Due to having no major bugs or issues DASM Spell Quest will be leaving early access. It has been 2 years since STEAM was kind enough to release our Software on their platform and we feel its now time to release it, "as is".
We have added the most common Questions and Answers below in this post that we have been asked over the past 12 months. Please feel free to message us here in the community forums or email us at contact@worldofdasm.com if you have any further questions or issues.
But what if there are still bugs??
Don't panic! We will attempt to fix any bugs that have been reported. We will not abandon our product and will do our best for our customers.
Will there be any more expansions/changes?
Depending on the popularity we may add extra features. Though, since UDK is no longer supported by Epic Games, it is likely that there will be no further development. This isn't by our choice but modern operating systems and hardware/drivers are always changing and don't always support older software.
I have a good idea, still interested?
Yes we are! Especially if its to do with Education. We would love to hear any ideas that you may have. There may even be a DASM Spell Quest 2 in the future, who knows!
I heard that DASM Spell Quest is Abandonware, is that true?
No, it is not true.
Thanks for your support!
Fix for windows 10 (Save files not saving.)
Hi everyone! Thanks to one of my good friends Mr Nikolov (Thanks mate!), has made me aware that DASM Spell Quest or even the save system it uses does not work correctly with Windows 10.
Here is what was in the e-mail:
Windows 10 users by default have on the system Microsoft .NET Framework 4 or 4.5 and up. But for the save system to work, windows 10 users will have to install, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and possibly after that install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 service pack 1 and the save system will work once more!!
Or you can try these links below and follow the instructions:

The World of DASM, DASM Spell Quest exe sometimes shows as a possible virus but isn't.
Every time you run the World of DASM, DASM Spell Quest exe you have to agree with the license agreement.

Thank you.
Patching will happen shortly. (2nd attempt.) [12/02/18]
Hi people!
The patch is ready to go very soon! Unfortunately when we tried to release the first patch of this type (which was similar), sadly it had a few issues so we had to roll it back to a previous install.
When bugs are either found or reported we really do try hard to fix them. Overall we have been extremely fortunate that there are very few bugs found since the release of DASM Spell Quest.
Currently we are having difficulties patching DASM Spell Quest because we are trying as hard as possible to create patches that allow players to keep their save files. If this patch fails we will have to consider uploading the software from the beginning again but with all the fixes added.
If this does happen we will explain to you how to back up the save files and add them again after reinstall.
Thank you for your patients and we hope to have any issues resolved as soon as possible. For now the game is fully playable and you can view the reported bugs here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/543910/discussions/0/1354868867706525555/
Please leave us a message if you find any bugs that are not listed here at the above link or Email us at contact@worldofdasm.com
DASM Staff
Another patch to be released soon. [UPDATE 31/01/2018]
Good News!
The new patch has been completed and is currently being tested. During patching we came across some other "minor" bugs and decided to fix them also. Unfortunately because of this things are taking a little longer than expected. The new patch is quite large and we are trying to compress it so DASM Spell Quest does not have to be fully installed again. If we have to do a full reinstall you may or will lose previous game save files and we don't want that to happen!
Thanks to everyone who contacted us at DASM HQ and reported these problems. If you find any bugs at all please post the issue in our forums or Email us at feedback@worldofdasm.com
If you need to report a bug or problem please provide us with as much information as possible.
For example; Name of level, what you were doing at the time, location etc.
