Ooooh, this is exciting news! The winner of last year's game jam just informed us that the Steam page of Dawn of the Ashen Queen is now live, and it's something to get massively hyped up about!

Our dear friend Sabbas Eleftheriadis aka vlzvl has informed us that his dungeon crawler in development is now out on Steam as Early Access. Furthermore, it will feature on the next Steam Fest on 10-17 of June.

This is great news for all you crawlerheads and especially those of you that enjoyed the first game! Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees has now been released for PC!

Me being a megafan of the first game is super excited to learn that Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees by Silver Lemur Games is going to be released on PC (Steam and GOG) on the 5th December 2023.

New to this year's game jam, we introduced a panel of judges, each assigned to check out all the entries and select their top five favorites. Unexpectedly, we received nearly 200 submissions, which took a considerable amount of time to play through. The judges unanimously agreed that the overall quality was exceptionally high this year, with numerous outstanding games that show great potential to be developed into full-fledged commercial products.

Among all the submissions, the judges collectively selected 19 games, which demonstrates a remarkable alignment in their choices.

The Dungeon Crawler Jam 2023 is done and it's been the biggest and bestest so far! With more than 1800 participants and almost 200 entries it's officially now one of the big jams. I never in a million years would've thought that would happen in such a niche genre and with so many specific rules :)

This year the jam produced an amazing amount of great games, many of which I hope will be developed further into fully fledged commercial games. 

A huge congratulations to the top 3 games from the community voting.
