Just stopping by to say that despite our website no longer existing, three quarters of the team being inactive, and no "real" updates in a while, Maerchen is progressing remarkably well, both in graphical content, and in actual code. In fact, I can confidently say that we expect to release a demo of sorts this summer, with ModDB exclusive quests and items. The content of the demo will likely not reflect the content of the final game, beyond the resources it uses, but will instead give the community an idea of how the final game will play.

For those curious on why I am suddenly announcing this, it is because of the incredible progress that I made last week on the game world navigation, movement, and gameplay. We now have fully functional tile-based maps in place, and random map generation well underway. We will not release any screenshots until the demo is released.

Until next time,
