Don't worry, there are no teleporters in this game to make mapping and navigation easier -- one of the goals is to get more people into manual mapping.

I think exploration is the game's greatest strength, thanks to having no automap. It's likely also it's greatest weakness because some people just hate mapping with a passion.

What did you make the maps on the previous page with?

I was hoping for a teleporter level.

Also no spinners so far

Oh, I forgot to mention, no spinners either. There are enough pits, one-way doors, and hidden passages to drive people crazy, though.

Level design is definitely fun

Please update the GoG version with the hotfix. Thanks.

Please update the GoG version with the hotfix. Thanks.

I've been trying to release updates on GOG every few hours since yesterday, but they're experiencing issues with uploading and downloading (and apparently there's some sort of corruption of uploaded builds?).

I'll try it again right now and see if it's working.

EDIT: Still no dice, waiting for support to get more information or ETA. In the meantime, you can PM me proof of purchase, I can send you a Steam key -- both versions are DRM-free, and save files are compatible between versions, so you can download it and continue playing.

Thank you for your quick response and no worries. I will wait for the latest update on GoG (was very happy it was released on GoG and actually cheaper than Steam!). Also the update only affects the end game from the description and I am no where near!

Just pinging to let you know that GOG told me that hopefully things will be resolved by next week. I'll post here as soon as the update is available on GOG.

Everytime I quickly scroll the Gen section I see this title but I see it as Lemon Lord.

Does it support 4:3 aspect ratio? It'd be neat to see it on my CRT.

16:9 is the only supported aspect ratio. It'll work, but you'll have to deal with black bars.

I've started playing Wizardry 1 very shortly after trying this, and I find it interesting that my reaction to DLR was so negative in comparison, given that it's a clone of Wiz1 with minor twists. I suspect the major contributor to this is how long the fights take while being about as equally hands-off. If you run into 5 kobolds on level 1 of Wiz1, you'll be done in 10 seconds tops because they all have 2 hp, but if you run into the same 5 kobolds on level 1 of DLR, prepare for 2 minutes of pressing the enter button.

To be fair, that sounds awful.

That's the thing, it looks like Wizardry but works entirely different

Yes, it should be out by the end of the month unless I get swamped with additional work.

It's similar on the surface, but the underlying systems are completely different. If you go in expecting a typical Wizardry clone, you will be confused and disappointed.

DLR is more of a marriage between SaGa-style systems and DRPGs -- more focus on learning and developing skills and growing characters to increase their survivability.

Wizardry mostly handled progression through levels / equipment / spells for magic users, while here it's done through stat gains / skills / spells.

I've managed to update it to the latest version. The offline installer will be updated in a couple of days, but the latest version should be downloadable via GOG Galaxy.
