Looks cool. What are the controls like? Mouse or keys?

I like the Ghosts and Goblins style look to the main hero. The portcullis and stairs going down are nicely designed too (its a right sod trying to get the perspective right on stairs going down...I tried for ages on my own game, then instead gave up and settled for a sign that said 'exit'.)

The lighting effect is working nicely too, and the creepy crawlies certainly gives the Crawler aspect a whole new meaning. I will watch the games development with interest, and will be happy to give it a test when you have a demo.

Keep up the jolly nice work!

kingpenguin I'm working on supporting keyboard ,joystick ,touch and now you mention it ,mouse too I think control options for the player are a very important feature ,thanks for interest.

Dave hailwood Ah Ghost and goblins...what a classic game!

But any similarities to Arthur from G'n'G is purely coincidental...promise

Yes the perspective can be a pain in the arts department!...

It never 100% looks right....but as long as it doesn't look wrong...I'm happy

Thanks for your detailed comments ,and I look forward to hearing more as I add more features.

The game looks nice and by te style, I?m sure will be fun. Continue on it! <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Kuso thank you...I'm hoping it will be fun..in the Arrrgh...just one more go ,kinda way... <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Update 1

Joypad now supported

locked rooms ,requiring key are working (most of the time)...

Adjusted loot spawn rates

some level music added

Something I would like some feedback on is the title of the game....

Somehow seems a bit of a mouthfull ,all of a sudden like...

You could just shorten it to Doomdire Depths, as that's an intriguing enough title in itself.

hi there, like the look of your game, cute little knight..

seems like there is a lot to explore..

Doomdire Depths sounds good

look forward to your updates.. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Dave hailwood I think your right ,that's what was in my head,just to remove the demise...Great word though "demise"...sure I can squeeze it in elsewhere! lol

mineet ..Cute Knight?...Mmm ,he will have to go!...lol

Updates soon,Thanks for comments

Perhaps you could have a terribly English game over message that, instead of stating Game Over whenever you die states: YOU HAVE MET YOUR DEMISE!

I look forward to the updates.

Update 2

After a little more thought ,I have decided to officially change the games title to "Doomdire depths"

At the moment working on a teleport system ,I currently have one ,semi working ,but it needs to be more reliable

also working on some enemy graphics ,namely ,rat (every dungeon needs some!) and centipede

Thanks for all the comments so far...

A game like yours is very hard to make, and have a lot of work with graphics. Really looks very well, I wait patiently can play some of it. I�m sure will be great!

Kuso thank you <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Update 3

Mostly working on loose ends,over the last few days...those irksome little bugs, that you just think, "easy fix" and gets sidelined for ages.

Cobbling the demo into a presentable state, is proving to be a bit of a quest in itself....

I have added a few features, be it in a basic form.

Player levelling system now in place, needs more work,but will do for demo purposes.

few demo exclusive features added!...more on that when I actually upload it.

Thanks for feedback, more is good.
