- Forgettable Dungeon: Update on Current Events - 25 June 2020
Hey I just wanted to give everyone another update, I keep waiting for good news to share and it just keeps not materializing. As some of you may know I got very sick after PAX, with breathing and muscle complications. (I still don't believe this to be Covid-19, just a weird coincidence) Unfortunately the side effects from this just haven't gotten better. Due to complications from being sick my sleep is now greatly disrupted, and now working from a computer randomly causes my chest to tighten up bringing the breathing issues back. I was hoping this was just a slipped disc and it'd go away but it's sticking around for far too long. So with all this progress has been slow. I am still working on the game as much as I can, however I have to try and keep my health as my main focus. That's sadly it for now. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves during all the crazy events of the world.
- Forgettable Dungeon: PAX and Crazyness - 25 February 2020

If you want a more extended writeup of what's been going on, you can read it at the kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rotondo/forgettabledungeon/posts/2657363 The tl;dr of things is essentially: Bought house, no longer homeless! Bottom floor floods 4" first night we spend in it. Pay lots of money, remove a little mold, partially remedy problem Slowly repair/rip out parts of the house. Try to get back to a somewhat normal dev cycle. With this development has slowed the past few months, however I'm hoping it's going to speed up once things calm down a bit. I'm working on an update though, taking into consideration your feedback. If you have any suggestions or critiques please post in the forums. It really helps. In more positive news I'm going to be showing the game at PAX East th…
- The Forgettable Dungeon: Spooky Changelog - 31 October 2019
Happy Halloween! Today I have a special spooky themed update to The Forgettable Dungeon. https://i.imgur.com/lMLKiCF.gif The summoner will now appear in the graveyard at night conjuring spooky scary skeletons to fight his battles for him. If you can manage to beat him you may be able to harness his powerful staff to conjure up some mayhem yourself. https://i.imgur.com/Tz1nQqB.gif There's also a new tree...? I'd be careful turning your back to this tree at night. In lighter news fall has hit the forest in the overworld, and even brought along some jack o' lanterns to light your path! https://i.imgur.com/lz26rtb.png Beyond these spooky changes I've also fixed a few crash bugs that some people were experiencing thanks to a lot of help from users in the discord. If you run into any issues, have questions, or just want to say hi be sure to join the discord here. https://discord.gg/0wDrfggwJY…

Water tiles/swimming: http://i.imgur.com/VP4uXUw.gifv Finally an answer for how a flat piece of pixels swims. I mostly covered everything here, but there's a few more…
