The dungeon engine is almost ready. Because it's going to be a long time before ZXodus is complete I've teamed up with another coder to attempt to make Dungeon Crawler Construction Kit available for 48K machines this year. This will be a commercial release and we have a publisher lined up. It will include a level editor that runs on the Spectrum and outputs a game file that can be used with the engine. As well as the level maps you'll be able to edit the monster sprites. There will also be an example game file. You'll be able to distribute your game files, but a copy of the original will be required to play them (legally). Think of it as a simpler version of Bard's Tale Construction Set. My share of any profits will go towards the development of the game I'm writing for ZXodus.
