This is the last official version of Experienced Pixel Dungeon, Redone or otherwise. No more bugfixes, ports to latest Shattered, or new content. That’s the end of the line.
2024 is anniversary to many things, including this mod, as 4 years have passed since the first release of that silly grinding mod with many things to do; but since then, the tumor has only grown larger…
You might have noticed, that large amount of content haven’t really changed since its first year of 2020-2021. After that, I just fixed bugs and ported Shattered’s new releases, with big things only happening once a year. It almost became an another job, that I did to keep its legacy going further and further, sometimes even at expense of project I actually enjoyed, like Summoning.
And then it really took off in 2023. My email started being flooded with reviews and emails about how it is the best game they played, or reported game breaking glitches. The legacy design didn’t stand up very well, and breaking integer barriers is bond to make things wrong. But I kept going. For honor, for people, to keep the tumor alive…
I hated it, but I told myself, than I should do it. It’s the most popular mod of mine, why I would cancel it? What would happen to those PD fans, that enjoyed grinding? But just like cancer, playing or making ExpPD results in never ending pain.
So I am ending it. For my own sake. You may not be happy. But I am happy. Than the beast is slain.
I’m a very casual Pixel Dungeon player and have never played Experienced Pixel Dungeon (might give the final version a try but I suspect it’s not very noob friendly), but I’d still like to say kudos to you for handling the project’s end so well - so many projects end up simply abandoned or even deleted without warning. And you’ve brought it up to date with upstream for one last time, that’s also awesome from you. Just sucks to hear that you didn’t enjoy working on it.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you end up doing
