This April 1st, Caravel has the best news it has had in ages. Read on!
"DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder" is released
DROD:GatEB is now completed and available for purchase. The game costs $19.95 and can be ordered on the Caravel Games website.
http://caravelgames.com/Articles/Games_2/GatEB.html
All who preordered the game and registered their order to a Caravel Forum user account can download the game by logging in on the forum and clicking "
Downloads"
at the top of the page.
I am happy to say that player feedback about the new game has been quite positive. A demo version of the game is also available for download from the above page if you'd like to try out the first part of the game before buying.
DROD:GatEB is available in Windows, Linux and Mac OSX Intel 64-bit versions. Hopefully we can also have an OSX Intel 32-bit version also made available relatively soon. You can select the version you want when ordering, and then you will receive a registration email from Caravel following a successful order. This e-mail will let you register your game license to a forum user account so you can download the game again from the forum in the future. You will also receive a free month of CaravelNet service.
As mentioned before, producing this game was a community effort, and everyone's effort shines. As DROD is an experience that continues to grow from year to year, it's hard to adequately credit everyone who has ever had a hand at some point in producing something that went into this latest game. Still, we'd like to recognize each individual who is getting credited with contributing to some aspect of the game, and my deepest apologies if there's anyone that we missed. This game likely would not have been released this year -- and definitely would not have ended up at its current high level of quality -- without the help of everyone here.
