Bring on the pixels!
Hey Everyone!
If you've played the 16 room demo, you've been treated to the wonderful, updated, 8-bit-styled artwork by GrahfMetal Games! When I did the original art back in 1990, it obviously looked nothing like this. I created it using a Mac program called Studio 1 and it was done in 1-bit "colors" - basically black and white! We had hoped it would eventually make it to the NES but, alas, it apparently wasn't it's time...
Here's four images from the original design doc that, like I said, were fabulously re-imagined by our friends at GrahfMetal!

The Déjà Vu Stretch Goal is Unlocked!
Thanks again for getting the word out and helping us get to SECOND stretch goal! The main game will now feature a new sidequest where you will find yourself solving all new puzzles in the world of Ace Harding's Déjà Vu!
What puzzles might await on the streets of the Windy City?
$70,000 Stretch goal - The Mines of Mythrok!
For this stretch goal we head back into the world of Tyragon and add a new side quest into the Mines of Mythrok - the subterranean caverns featured in the hit Meta Quest game Shadowgate VR! With this stretch goal, you won't need a VR headset to venture deep into the Dwarven dungeons within the Gatekeeper mountains to uncover the mysteries that it holds!
The Dwarves dug too deep into the Mines of Mythrok!
Support our Friends!
Please check out our friends over at Grimorio Games who have launched their new Kickstarter - Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant! A lot of love is going into this game and we dig the art style and different types of game play. They've hit some big stretch goals as well!
The game is a third-person 3D Action RPG with both dungeon crawling (obviously we like this lol) AND city building. You can also revive your enemies and make them fight alongside you! The battle and companion system are completely revamped from the original where you travel the continent, restore the sacred city of Euda to its former glory and defeat the ominous threat that looms over the world.
The original Sword of the Necromancer was inspired by Roguelike/Roguelite games like Enter the Gungeon and Azure Dreams, and Dungeon Crawlers like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. However, they wanted to leave the dungeon and explore the world around, for a more Adventure/Action feel, like that of Dark Cloud/Dark Chronicle.
Please consider backing these folks as they have been working on the game for a year and a half and need help getting to the finish line.

Ah, the southern belle from Hell! So nice to see you again!

OMGOSH!
Thanks so much to everyone who backed us! Four hours and we hit our goal! You know, it's been a strange journey. I'm 58 now and Karl and I made Shadowgate when we were 20 (started it in 1984). I've worked on many many versions of Shadowgate (can you say Pocket PC?!) but the NES version was always one of my favorites and now, to see the 4 binder Beyond Shadowgate design doc come to life - well, it's wonderful! I want to thank the team here at Zojoi, GrahfMetal and 317 Games for all the hard work on the game so far!
