Me being a megafan of the first game is super excited to learn that Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees by Silver Lemur Games is going to be released on PC (Steam and GOG) on the 5th December 2023.

New to this year's game jam, we introduced a panel of judges, each assigned to check out all the entries and select their top five favorites. Unexpectedly, we received nearly 200 submissions, which took a considerable amount of time to play through. The judges unanimously agreed that the overall quality was exceptionally high this year, with numerous outstanding games that show great potential to be developed into full-fledged commercial products.

Among all the submissions, the judges collectively selected 19 games, which demonstrates a remarkable alignment in their choices.

The Dungeon Crawler Jam 2023 is done and it's been the biggest and bestest so far! With more than 1800 participants and almost 200 entries it's officially now one of the big jams. I never in a million years would've thought that would happen in such a niche genre and with so many specific rules :)

This year the jam produced an amazing amount of great games, many of which I hope will be developed further into fully fledged commercial games. 

A huge congratulations to the top 3 games from the community voting.

The Dungeon Crawler Jam 2022 has been a great success. I thought following up last year monumental success was going to be difficult but this year we had an even greater submission ratio of 18% (12% last year) and a massive amount of ratings. Not to forget, a whole bucket load of great new dungeon crawlers!

Screenshots from the sequel to The Quest by Redshift Games was just published, and they... look... amazing!

Skullstone has been in development since 2015 and is currently a Steam Greenlight Project. 2015 is quite a bit of time of course, but with the release of a demo on the latest Steam demo “fest” we get a chance to try out this modern crawler. Does it stand up to its potential?
