... Fire, Cold, Electrical, Element and Morkal spells  and several other critters that were originally supposed to be able to cast are going to be a little more 'magical'. It's taking a while but we are reviewing, revising and balancing ALL weapons and monsters in Ascension ... so you know we're still working  |

| Ascension BETA testing has been run with a small private group for a couple of months but we are now expanding it to include up to 20 of the applicants that contacted us over the past year. Some of your email addresses have bounced, so if you are still interested and have not heard from us please contact us again at beta @ decklinsdemise.com ... thanks to all that applied, sorry we can't bring you all on board at this time!!

... very busy time for all. BETA testers that applied earlier this year may expect to hear from us very shortly, the beta server and beta build are ready ~ just some paperwork processing still ongoing. Master Server has moved, Demise demo server and Mordor 2 servers are running on new machine on high speed backbone hoping for less downtime now. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year !!! |

Bad news - not ready. Good news - getting closer. The Alpha testers have been working overtime and we think that all the 'historic' bugs that need to be fixed for Ascension have been dealt with ( includes the Slot 1 spell caster bug, an MP/SP game crash, magic user companions can ALL now cast spells instead of just ONE ) However - I am now holding up the party because of some sneaky new coding that's being developed for the Ascension storyline. There's no-one else to blame but me for not being ready! More information is in the full story ... |

Over the next couple of weeks sites and forums will be 'moving' to different servers ~ in theory everything will be 'transparent' but you know how that goes ...  The Master Server was 'down' again recently - this time due to a power outage - but by the end of the move it, together with the M2, demo & Decklin's full version server(s), will be on an improved server platform. So if we lose sites during the process, just try back later. |

| ... so we amended the Ascension notice yet again. Here's the good news ~ Win2K issue seems resolved ( thanks to JP !! ) ... we can install and run under Vista ( kudos to None the Wiser ) ... Slot 1 spellcaster bug fixed ( thanks to bobmarco who made me realise that it actually 'hadn't' been fixed despite comments in the code that stated 'otherwise' ) ... 8,750 + monster groups now work ( thanks to me ) ... problem with 1.03 installer resolved ( thanks to Dave Allen ) ... and on to the full story for the bad news: | ||

|
... we have hit a few new snags unfortunately, so there'll be further delay. Briefly, there's a problem been discovered by our testers with Ascension on Win 2K that we have to trace and fix, a minor problem with the character converter that involves the spell buffers and the installer ( which will no longer use .NET ) still needs some work. Will let you know when these issues are fixed. |

" The best laid plans o' mice and men gang aft aglae ... " ( Robert Burns ) As seems to be the rule with Demise, yet another 'release date' is going to be missed. Although the Ascension dungeon build is essentially complete and the testers have been roaming through checking the geography and are now testing the 'fighting' as monsters are being sprinkled into place ... there are still a few remaining issues needing to be fixed. |

To one and all, may all your troubles be little ones ... Demise 1.04 and Ascension news ~ Release date for both will be March 1st 2008. Details may be read in the 'full story' below and will be posted in the forums. |

|
|
We're in the final stretch of the Demise 1.04 and Ascension work now, working on the last part of the installer and then after a round of 'graphics' tidy-up for 1.04 we'll get ready to set up an upgrade page that will allow registered Demizens either a free download or allow purchase of a CD at a nominal charge + postage. Expect even less Decklin visibility until the end of the year, there's a lot of work going on ... thank you all for your patience !!! |
