Gunthro CDs printed and shipping
At long last, we've received the limited-edition CD print run for "
DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder"
! As mentioned on the forum, everyone who contributed to developing or testing the game is receiving one. Also, everyone who pre-ordered a CD will receive their copy. These ship out next week. If you have updated your shipping address, please let me know so your CD doesn't go to some guy who's never heard of DROD. Though I don't mind getting the word out, there are more efficient ways to do it.
DROD on Desura
"
DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder"
and "
DROD: The City Beneath"
are now available for purchase on Desura. If you're happy to see the games on there, please go and vote on the games or write up a glowing review!
Also, everyone who purchased Gunthro on the IndieGameStand promotion in December may log in to their IGS account and receive a Desura key for the game (as long as you meet their requirements).
DROD History Month
We've concluded another official contest on the Caravel Forum, hosted by forum member Pearls. Contributors designed a hold with areas that effectively capture the feel and flavor of each of the four major DROD titles. There were a lot of great entries submitted. Congratulations to
Lucky Luc for the winning entry! Please claim a Prize from the Prize Pile. And congrats to Chaco, BoyBlue and D.Craven_0ne for placing with similarly noteworthy submissions. And a big thank you to Pearls from everyone for taking Schik up on his dare and graciously hosting this epic contest.
"DROD: The Second Sky" reaches a third
According to the Bar, we're officially over one-third done with the final chapter of Beethro's story. Since the last Illumination, we've developed even more new levels and game features, including more puzzle elements, scripting capabilities, and additional hold design features and graphical improvements.
Especially noteworthy is the addition of Aleksander Kowalczyk to the Caravel team as artist and illustrator. Aleks is a friend of Skell, and he's joined up to create some beautiful new art for TSS and provide an added level of polish to the pre-existing game art. Aleks constantly exceeds my expectations with the fantastic work he does, and I think you'll all be pleased with his contributions when you see it. We're working on putting together some in-game material to show off publicly in the near future that will feature some of his work. Meanwhile, I'd like to share with you the new TSS title logo that Aleks recently designed:
(For those receiving this via e-mail, if you don't see it here, please come see it on the Caravel Forum at

Until next time, happy DRODing!
