Caravel has some great news to brighten your holiday gaming!
IndieGameStand featuring "DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder"
This week, from December 11-14, DROD:GatEB will be featured on IndieGameStand.com. What does this mean? Only good news for anyone interested in buying the game! We sell the game for $19.95 on our site, but once DROD shows up on IndieGameStand, you can go there and pay what you want to buy the game.
Pay more than the average purchase price during the promotional period and also receive some free bonus content! The bonus content we're providing is a lot of great stuff:
* Volumes I and II of the "
Deadly Music of Death"
complete soundtracks for DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold, DROD: Architects Edition and Flash DROD. That's over 90 minutes of game music, including a couple of bonus tracks not featured in the games. You can read more about the soundtrack on its product page here:

* The "
Flood Warning"
expansion pack that comes exclusive when buying "
Gunthro"
. It contains several hours of additional play and showcases the new shallow water and stepping stones game elements. This levelset is by master developer and architect, TFMurphy. It is one of the highest fan-rated expansions, and you can only get it when buying the game.
Share the good news now with all your friends and everywhere online where you'd like more people to get hooked on DROD! Remember, it's from December 11-14 only.
CaravelNet Cheer
To celebrate the holiday season, Caravel is offering a free additional month of CaravelNet service to everyone who has ever had a CaravelNet service subscription. We'll grant this bonus time to your user account automatically on December 15th so you can enjoy CaravelNet during the holidays. If you've never had CaravelNet but would like to pick up an extra month anyway, you can do that buy registering a subscription to your Caravel user account before December 15th.
CaravelNet service lets you download and rate fan-published holds in-game (that's over 25,000 rooms now), watch replays of how other players complete rooms, chat with other online players and compete for high scores on the official CaravelNet scoreboards. You can read more about the service here:

DROD: The Second Sky -- Development news
Caravel is making progress on the climactic conclusion to Beethro's adventure, DROD:The Second Sky. We've developed over thirty new features for the game so far, including over a dozen new game puzzle elements. We've been actively tuning these to work smoothly both with the new and preexisting elements and they're turning out nicely. There are new monsters, room elements, scripting additions, new hold design capabilities, graphical improvements and even some features entirely new to classic DROD.
We're getting ready to release more specific details on these soon. For now, take a look at the DROD:TSS progress bar at the top of the Caravel Forum. It not only tracks development progress for the new game, as any self-respecting progress bar should, it also strives to entertain you! If you haven't tried clicking on it, you should do so now. It's a quirky tradition we have as we look forward to each new game release to get this progress bar to do some fun and odd things, even play some mini-games, based around the Caravel community experience. The more clicks there are, the more good things will happen!

Happy holidays, everyone, and happy DRODing!
