- Community Poll - Concepts: help us prioritise our future! - 3 July 2018
So, here at Templarius Studios, we spend the month of July brainstorming our plan what we should do and where we are headed. This process helps us figure out our plans and ensure we remain on track with development and we have plans for the future. Now on top of finishing Yoltrund and releasing a new unique game, we have some more stuff for our development team; 2 new concepts that we think will be amazing and we want your input on what we should prioritise! To be clear, you're not voting on what game we should make over the other; both concepts will become games to be released. You are simply prioritising our efforts, making sure we prioritise the game you guys want more. If you don't like either concept, that's fine; there's an option for that. The brief version will take only a couple minutes to complete and asks one question. The detailed version will ask a lot more information if y…

- Internal Game Development is Delayed - 5 November 2017
Internal Game Development is Delayed To accommodate the holiday season KANSAS CITY, Missouri—November 5, 2017—After coming on 1 month after the release of Don’t Die!, Templarius Studios has been looking hard into upcoming games for the future. However, after reviewing the team, scope of the projects, and schedule of releases, it has been decided to delay any internal development from Templarius Studios until February 14th to accommodate our staff as well as the holiday season. While not an easy decision, this is a decision we feel is best to prevent any issues from erupting from within the studio, many of this issues will be addressed in the post-mortem for Don’t Die! which will be released to media outlets within the coming week. To summarize these concerns, Don’t Die! had too small of a budget and too short of a schedule, not to mention the mistake of releasing the day after Middle-ea…

- Dev Diary 9/25/2017 - So close!! and other news! - 26 September 2017
So, who's excited for the hardest challenge they've ever took part in? Yep, it's almost that time; just a couple days over 2 weeks until launch! This means some exciting stuff that I want to take a second to announce. Recent developments and changes There's a lot of stuff that has changed so I'm going to sum up as much as I can. In the background of the current ongoing beta, I've been adding more levels to ready for launch. While never in the actual beta builds, they do exist and will be available upon launch. The music for the game has changed to a different song that more fits and is a bit more groovy. Don't worry, if you liked the "King of the Shadows" track that was in the game originally, it will come back.....in a different game. ;) Sadly, there will be no level editor as the engine isn't capable and is beyond scope. (Not sure if I've announced this or not) It will be considered a…

- Announcement in the wake of Irma - 6 September 2017
So, as we all know, hurricane Irma is headed towards the US Eastern coast, possibly hitting Miami on the way. This brings some issues when it comes to Don't Die!. As a National Guardsman, and a guy with relatives living in the Miami area, it is my duty to go to Florida to help with recovery efforts and help those affected by Irma. With this, the development of Don't Die! will be halted until I return. The game will still ship on October 11th no matter what hurricane decides to torment my country; I will cross that bridge with all of you when the time comes. My heart goes to everyone affect by Harvey and I wish I could help out there. And to those in Florida, please be safe out there and I'll see you all down there. Michael Cox.

- Update Alpha 0.2.1 - The Gauntlet - 26 August 2017
As of today The Gauntlet has been added to the game. Prepare for the ultimate challenge of your skills. You pick your goal, and you go until the very last second! Developments and new additions The Gauntlet added. Sacrifice your well-earned Dust for the chance to obtain even more in a challenge of speed, practice, and reflexes. In The Gauntlet, you pay how much you want to spend in the Gauntlet (minimum of 120 Dust, or 2 minutes) and you race through an assortment of levels. You must complete as many levels as you can and earn as much Dust as you can in the time you paid for. There is no end and level order is randomized so we hope you practiced and came prepared. You also don't gain the Dust you could have earned until you run out of time and receive a 1.5x multiplier. Deaths do factor how much Dust you earn, but the moment you run out of time, your run is over. If you completed at lea…
