DWD #4!

Hey Patrons,

Thanks for waiting on this one! We’ll be back more this month with some insane shenanigans never attempted before. At least that we know of.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this!

-the dudez

P.S. we’ll be getting caught up on deck giveaways in the next few days. The gremlin in charge of those was apparently just eating them. It has been sacked.

See you tomorrow :)

Don't Wake Demon #1 | New Gameplay Episode!

Ahoy, Patrons!

We're trying a new game-only episode format called "DON'T WAKE DEMON". The hopes are that, if people like it, we can get more games out there in between story episodes. 

Let us know what you think! 

Thanks, as always, for making this possible :)

BI-WEEKLY(ish) UPDATE: Party Time

Ahoy, Patrons!

Daniel here with a few fun items: 

I. THE GATHERING

We had a lovely time in the dungeon with a handful of you this past weekend. Thanks for hanging out and slinging some jank with us. It was really fun to meet you in person and see what vile concoctions you brewed for the occasion. 

(except for Alex's muffins and Jason's scotcharoos...those were both decidedly not vile)

HAPPILY NEVER AFTER

The time has come to return to the Netherrealm.

Thank you for your patience as we dealt with some technical issues.

We’ll give you an extra day with this one to make sure you have the chance to check it out before wide release. It’ll go public on Thursday.

Enjoy, dear patrons!

xoxo, the demon & co.

BI-WEEKLY(ish) UPDATE: Posing a Question

Greetings, fine Janklords.

We’ve returned from Tier1Con Malmö with smiles on our faces and fresh fire in our hearts. It was so lovely to meet a few of you across the pond, and we can’t wait to get to more in-person events in the future. It was truly a delight.

Now, on to business.

This week will be spent sculpting the piles of narrative footage we’ve amassed for the Season 3 premiere. I don’t want to underestimate what remains to ...

BI-WEEKLY(ish) UPDATE: Almost There

Janklords! 

We're all COVID free and returned from vacation, so the work continues! We're finishing up some narrative filming on Sunday and Thursday of this coming week, and then we'll be off to the races. 

Filming together again has been such a blast and we can barely wait to FINALLY share this episode with you. So close now.

Thank you for being along for the ride with us!

Talk to you soon,

Bi-Weekly(ish) Update: COVID Delays :(

Hey Janklords, 

After successfully avoiding COVID these last two years, a few of us have come down with it--forcing a delay on production of our new episode. We are definitely bummed, but glad that the parties involved are alive and mostly well. 

To be completely transparent, due to this and some vacation timing, we won't finish up filming until the week of June 6th. However, we have a lot done already, and I'll be working on editing so we don't have too much to catch up...

The Demon is Enraged

Hello my obsequious patrons,

 It has come to the Demon's attention that a whole batch of the Wheelmaster's proxies were being held by one of the dungeon gremlins who liked them so much that he "claimed" them as his own. The proxies have been recovered. They will be in the mail in the next few days. The Demon offers his deepest condolences and will see to it that the gremlin is punished appropriately. 

May your day be as vile as the night I was spawned,

-A humble se...

Bi-Weekly(ish) Update: MUNCHEE APPROACHES

Hullo Patrons!

We just dropped a little tease for a new supporting cast member on the show: MUNCHEE. Munchee is one of the fabled gremlins that have long contributed to the demon's technological woes.

We have some fun footage of the making  of Munchee that we'll release to you once the new episode is out!

SOME UPDATES

  • We're filming narrative for 3.1 this weekend (YAS!)
  • Target release date is May 12th (the 11th for you). I'll keep yo...

THE TEST GAME IS LIVE

Intrepid Patrons, 

Behold: our first in-person game in nearly a century. 

It's not our prettiest effort (mismatched lenses, wonky angles, out focus humans, etc.), but we consider it a win--and a necessary step in cleaning off the cobwebs. 

But now those cobwebs be cleaned. And it's time for us to annoint our new space with the first official episode. We're shooting that game TOMORROW. Narrative shoots happening the rest of April.

Special thanks to the l...

BI-WEEKLY UPDATE: Incoming!

Greetings, Janklords!

We gamed. We filmed. We conquered? 

Before I get into details, know this: I'm editing a new game for you RIGHT NOW, and you'll get it within the next week.

We've completed our first filming session in the new studio and we came away with a useable game! Just how useable is the question. 

On the day of the shoot we ran into some camera & lens issues that led to a look we aren't 100% satisfied with for our big return...

BI-WEEKLY UPDATE: The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

Janklords.

The board is set…and the pieces are moving.

This Saturday, we’re shooting our first in person game since 2020.

(I can hardly believe I’m finally getting to type this)

Over the following weeks we’ll be shooting the narrative for Season 3, Episode 1. Barring any major setbacks, you can expect our return April 9th or 16th. We are so incredibly stoked.

Prepare yourselves. It’s the deep breath before the plunge.

Greetings, Janklords. 

It is I, Daniel, purveying this week's bi-weekly update. The biggest news of the week,

Congratulations to the Imps for maintaining control of Eiganjo Castle. The victory was hard-fought, and won by the skin of their collective teeth. After 16 games played over the week, here's the final tally:

BI-WEEKLY UPDATE: Catching Up

Ahoy, Janklords! Daniel here with your tardy bi-weekly update.

I was at the studio last night with our set designer and things are shapeshifting into place quite nicely. I'm stoked by the mix of familiarity and freshness in the new dungeon, and I think you will be too.

Here's what's currently cooking in the Janklord's kitchen:

BI-WEEKLY UPDATE: Ducks in Rows

Greetings to Janklords new and old!

Thanks for being here. You make us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Now that the Age of Isolation is officially behind us (RIP to the OG dungeon), let's look to the future...to Season 3.

As teased at the very end of the latest episode, we're launching the new season within the first quarter of 2022. We aren't setting a hard date yet, in case we need some cushion to iron out the technical kinks.
