Firstly, an apology, I was hoping to get the remainder of the Community Crypts completed and too you last weekend. Time got away from me, plus the final few crypts are a little more complex than the first lot so they're taking longer to draw and create some accompanying rules guidance. I'm away this weekend, but will have them all finished at some point next week. Thanks for your patience.
What else have I been up to?
Well... the Word Dungeon app is coming along nicely. We've got a healthy team of about 20 beta testers who are busy putting it through its paces. We're finding (and fixing) bugs as we go, plus getting to play a whole load of dungeons. I'm hoping soon I can do an official launch.
Word Dungeon on Desktop
I am looking for more beta testers, so if you'd like to play Word Dungeon on your phone, desktop or tablet and give feedback when it all goes wrong please click this link and drop me an email.
If you're not sure what I mean by Beta Testing... you'd be playing a version of the app that's still in development, part of your role as a tester would be to play and spot where things aren't working quite right. It's a a great way to help shape the app with other testers and me. Testing is easy, you email me, I send you a link and then you play on your phone, tablet or pc, then you email me and let me know how you got on. There's nothing to install, it runs from your internet browser.
Word Dungeon on a phone!
There's also the next kickstarter, 3 new full games for you to enjoy, you can find details and follow the prelaunch here.
Thanks for all your support, I hope you're enjoying the games!
Four more dungeons have been added to the Community Crypts this week. Thank you to: Lee Hennessy, Pizzp, Magikmilk and Zoltan for their submissions! You can find all your dungeons in your Backerkit account, if you want a step-by-step guide, please see this previous update.
More crypts will be ready next week.
Seeking Beta Testers...
The Word Dungeon App
I've been working hard this week on a new strand of the Word Dungeon universe - an web-based app for desktop, tablet and mobile. Lots of people have been asking for it and a few have even offered to build it so thank you for spurring me on to have a go at building it myself. This image above is from the working prototype.
Here's what it does:
Let's you play Little Word Dungeons on your phone
Checks the words you play
Records your score
Allows you to save progress
Has a global leaderboard
Have 10 little dungeons in the preview
Is currently running a daily dungeon (a la Wordle)
There’s a lovely group of people beta testing this version - poking it, playing the game and breaking the game before I release it more generally.
If you’d like to be involved in testing future versions, can you please drop me an email and let me know. I’ll add you to the testers list and email you in the coming weeks with something to try out.
Another weekend and another 6 dungeons for you. They can be found in your downloads as updated versions of the Community Crypts files (details here on how to access them).
Thanks to: Lee Hennessy, Zoltan, Space Slug Games & Ford Alpha for their contributions this week!
An apology from me first. It seems the link I've been sending out to you to quickly find you digital files for Word Dungeon was the wrong one. I mistakenly thought that the section in Backerkit called 'Your Digital Rewards' would contain your digital rewards - it doesn't 🤣 (you might understand how I made the error).

I've just set up the prelaunch page on Kickstarter for Word Dungeon 2. A series of 3 new full Word Dungeon games due for release in July plus some exciting extras . Please head to the new prelaunch pageand support the project - link here.
