If you ever played paper RPG Death Maze, Citadel of Blood or Labirynt Śmierci then you already know this game. DG is a tribute to this RPG (three names but game the same). In Dark Gates you lead your team of 6 heroes into dungeon where they will fight their way through in order to destroy Dark Gates and evil mage who is the master of the dungeon. Main feature of the game is dungeon itself. This is no predefined layout and every time you play, map is always different. Dungeon creates itself as you play. In your quest you will find monsters, magical items, trap, puzzles and treasures. Glory awaits one who destroys Dark Gates and evil mage. Game is in alpha stage, lot's of stuff missing or not working as intended.

any chance you have debug info from console on crash ? I will try to track it down.

As for fight. If your hero dies, your team will got into team movement phase where you need to fill 3 top slots. Otherwise game will not let you to skip this phase. Dos that sounds like it ?

Thanks for you feedback.

HI, it makes no sense to me :) but thanks. I will compile next windows version with console, so when you will run it from command line and game crashes, it will give you an python error, which i can easily track. Or will build some dump to error.log file.

Thanks for your feedback. Next release will be in week or two, as I got already some fixes to implement.
