Constructive criticism is welcome :) Drop me your ideas, complaints and suggestions in the forum.

Magic
  • 12 elements form 4 trinities of elemental interactions.
  • Dozens of status effects are available and many more are in the works.


Items
  • All items may carry an element and a status effect, though several items do not invoke elemental and/or status attacks.
  • Set traps made from nearly any item, including spells.


Dungeons
  • Infinite persistent dungeons may be researched to explore. Flexible random dungeon generation creates limitless maps for players to explore, but if they choose to come back to an interesting place later, it will still there.
  • Subscribers may own personal and clan estates and spend their money to build them any way they desire.
  • Unused dungeons will automatically be purged on a time scale determined by the server host.


Critters
  • Tame critters to make them loyal pets that will grow in power and experience as they do your bidding.
  • Summon critters to command for a short time.


Unique Worlds
  • Server hosts have control of a wide variety of settings to tweak the game experience.
  • Game Masters can create new and unique critters to populate dungeons and even allow any of them as player character races.
  • Game Masters may design unique items for their server and make them an integral part of their Darke Dungeon world through the item prototype system.


Interface
  • Multiple input methods (keyboard commands or mouse actions) for commonly used commands.
  • Low clutter HUD display may be positioned where you like it.
  • Turn command panel(s) on and off.
  • Select your preference of 4 movement styles.

Yep, even BYOND members get a free 6 months of GM subscription, so you both enjoy them and show me what sort of nifty things you can do with the beta engine.

You can play mimics just like any other race. I'll walk you through the steps a GM must take to make it happen.
  • Use the ?-critters command to bring up the critters dialog.
  • Click on the Critter Sets tab.
  • Click on the Edit button by "player_races".
  • Click the "Add a Critter Type" button.
  • Select mimic from the list.
  • Click "Ok".
  • Click "Save".


  • Now your players can be a mimic. Unfortunately the mimic graphics don't seem to work quite as they should so it won't look right until I track down that problem, but you can waddle around and freak out your friends.

This game is great, I love how you can play as any monster (except mimic, those can't do anything) through simple savefile editing(and GM)... Everything is customizable and you can add monsters, shame non-members can't host. I bet the game wouldn't be dead like it is now. Could you please make mimics playable (through savefile editing(and GM))? It would be fun to ambush people as a chest :) It's very sad this game is forgotten and the only server that is up right now is pretty much dead. Also, if you play as a pyrogeist, you can buy free firebursts and burst spells.

@Corpusbeast: Hmm, I still like to encourage people to get BYOND memberships, so I don't plan to do away with that. However, I will give the helpful fellows who have posted here previously and the next 10 people who post here with a positive message about Darke Dungeon a free 6 month GM Membership. Then I'll try to pop onto each of those servers before the 6 months expire and if I like what I see (your various customizations and such) I'll give those folks a full lifetime subscription.

Sound like a fair compromise? :D

Hello Shadowdarke! If possible, can you allow non-byond members to host servers? It's a shame that this game isn't hosted 24/7 and I feel that unrestricting the hosting and world features would breathe a fresh breath of air into this game for people whom can host.
