We have big news for DROD RPG, so I'm going to focus on that in this issue of the Illumination.
DROD RPG on Steam
We're happy to announce that DROD RPG is prepped and ready for Steam release this Friday, Feb. 12!
The Steam version will feature:
* Achievements
* Leaderboards
* Auto cloud-sync
* OST DLC
* An improved version of the game engine (version 1.2.3) with some better graphics, performance enhancements, stability improvements and bug fixes
It will be available on Windows, Linux and OS X. You'll be able to get the game for about the price of lunch, and at a 10% discount the first week of release. We are also offering a deluxe bundle that includes the OST at a discount.
For registered RPG forum users, we're working on providing automated Steam keys in your forum profile around the time of release.
Get the latest version of DROD RPG on the forum
We've also released the new version of DROD RPG, version 1.2.3.199, on the Caravel Forum. Registered players can download the latest full version of the game. As mentioned above, it contains some better graphics, performance enhancements, stability improvements and bug fixes. Non-registered players can get a new version of the demo installer. We recommend all RPG players install the latest version of the game.

What genre is DROD RPG?
DROD RPG, as the name belies, is not necessarily an RPG. It has novel gameplay that is hard to pin down to any single established gaming genre. Share your feedback in a poll on what genre you would include DROD RPG in.
