[February Public post] About DUEX 2 - The work starts now (Patreon)

Hey, brothers! What’s up?

We had a long Carnival holiday weekend here, so I took the chance to go over Pensant Dream Ascension and Dungeon Explorers to refresh my memory on a few things before kicking off the first update for Dungeon Explorers 2, which will officially mark the start of its production!

I’ve already organized the ideas I had scribbled down, along with character assets, music, and everything else. The only thing left is to get back into the code, because DUEX 2 is a fusion of different gameplay styles: tactical combat, map exploration, first-person dungeon exploration, management, and VN elements. Yeah… think of some complex code 😅 — but I’ll tackle that step by step as the update progresses. I’ll admit I feel a bit lost right now since I have a TON of notes and ideas for DUEX 2, but I’ll do my best to stay grounded.

As usual, the first version of any game is the hardest for a dev. That’s when the paths are just starting to be carved and a lot of uncertainty hangs in the air. Because of that, after this update is released, which should happen around the end of March, I want your honest feedback. Tear apart whatever you think needs improvement from your point of view, and shower me with praise on the parts you liked the most.

Dungeon Explorers 2 is meant to be a long-term project. That’s the initial idea, but you know me, the story kind of writes itself. And no, it doesn’t mean the story is made with AI, as many people seem to think. AI is used only for art and music. I was a writer and screenwriter before moving into game development, you can check out my books here: BOOKSStorytelling is something I care deeply about and spend a lot of time on. It’s my strongest skill, and it will always be my main focus.

What I can promise is this: even if it’s a long project, I won’t drag it out for no reason. If I feel the story is complete, it will be finished. I don’t plan on spending 10 years working on this project only to run out of ideas and start reworking it from scratch, no milking here. No, C.M. Cas Games doesn’t work like that. As I’ve already proven to you with every game I’ve started, I finished them all, and they’re available for you to play from beginning to end here on our Patreon.

With DUEX 2, I’ll be working more closely with the community. You’ll have more of a voice, and I’ll create more polls so we can decide aspects of the game together. That’s why each subscription Tier has a different voting weight. Let’s have fun together in this world that’s coming your way, with new stories, new beautiful women, and lots of adventures.

You are my strength. We’re in this together. Let’s go!

Have fun~~
