Am I seeing this right? Reforged literally doesn't allow you to run custom campaigns? Feb 1, 2020

    Currently true. I think they loved StarCraft II and its Arcade too much.

  Would be nice to have a representative forum campaign preview for this: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/dungeon-panic.316948/

    Well, you've used a screenshot instead of a logo for the campaign preview. Or at least, the site put the first screenshot since you haven't added any preview.

    I'd have to make a logo, if that's what you mean. I'm not much of a graphic artist. Is there a problem with the screenshot?

    I did not say it was a problem, mainly a suggestion.

    This is neat:

    But there's a bug on the third level so wait for the fix first.

    I started playing Leraux last night! It's very cool and super challenging. I'm on the part with the ballista right now.

    You can do it, trust me, just don't binge. Play it when you get ideas, from time to time.

  I've added more video walkthroughs of the 2nd floor levels! Find them in the Media section here: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/dungeon-panic.316948/

  I recorded a quick gameplay walkthrough for the first set of levels for Dungeon Panic! Check it out: https://youtu.be/3CVEiKmq_tA Spoiler warning - The video includes solutions to the puzzles!

  Hey, is Dungeon Panic completed? And if not, must we start all over to continue what maps you add afterwards?
  
  Jul 11, 2019
  2. Jake Kessler
    The version that's posted now is considered complete, meaning nothing is missing and it should be fully playable. In the current version you must beat the first "floor" (levels 1-5) to unlock the second floor (levels 6-10).
    
    I am intending to release more levels later. Future versions will start with all the campaign buttons enabled so you don't have to replay older levels if you just want to skip to the new stuff.

  Do you want me to make the .BLPs of the edited icons I posted on your campaign topic for you?
  I might find time to put more work into your campaign if you're interested, I mostly do unit portraits though since I feel like icons for abilities are plentiful and you can always find something fitting (I can do edits like I posted on your topic though).

    Honestly they're all really pretty. I'll take .BLPs of the other icons you posted as well if it's not too much trouble!

  4. Scias
    Yeah it's no problem at all, just a couple of clicks on few tools. Here you go:

    I also further touched up the StormElementShield icon, hope you like it.

  2nd melee contest poll started, in the link you can (if you wish) download all the maps from the zip file, see them all and rate what do you think are the 5 best maps. If you don´t have competitive melee knoledge, is okay, you can use other criteria like: enviroment, effort, map shape and others. The general public opinion is important to define 20% of the final score https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/melee-mapping-contest-2-poll.308814/

    A card game? I'm not into those but I'm sure there's a lot of thinking into making them.

  My codesigner Chris and I will be doing a meet and greet for my tabletop card game, Age of Primes tonight on Twitch at 9:30 EST. We'll be talking a bit about the game, the worldbuilding and story setting, as well as taking some questions from the audience! Feel free to tune in and say hi! https://www.twitch.tv/ageofprimes
