DRL 0.9.9.8 Released, Jupiter Hell Classic Announced!
6 August 2024
EDIT: 0.9.9.8a released, Linux versions available!
First up, we’re thrilled to announce our new project – Jupiter Hell Classic! This commercial total conversion/expansion brings the venerable DRL (formerly known as DoomRL/Doom, the Roguelike) into the Jupiter Hell universe! While modernized in terms of user experience and visuals, it retains all the beloved features of DRL, including (but not limited to!) readable and bright 2D sprites, corner-shooting, shotgun-scouting, gift-dropping, weapon unloading, and of course, DIAGONAL MOVEMENT :D.
You can wishlist Jupiter Hell Classic on Steam now!
But wait! All improvements will also be backported to good ol’ Doo^D^D^D DRL, which you can test RIGHT NOW! Head to the downloads section to jump right in! Note that you might need to download the installer from github if your antivirus flags it. Oh the pain of modern direct app development _.
This release not only includes the usual DRL updates but also modernizes the game with new APIs, in-game settings, improved UX, new graphics, idle animations, and the ability to save and quit the game at any point.
See version.txt for full info!
Future development of Jupiter Hell Classic will benefit the open-source DRL, so if you want to support it (or other classic ChaosForge roguelikes, hint, hint), help us by promoting Jupiter Hell Classic!
Finally, to celebrate, Jupiter Hell is on its biggest sale yet – grab it now at 70% off on Steam!
Finally, join us on the Jupiter Hell Discord to celebrate!
