... 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 !!! |

A little while back we mentioned some changes would be taking place as we get closer to releasing 1.04 and Ascension. We have more details for you ( see the full story below ) but first we'd like to extend a big 'Thank You' to JP - and here's why - One of the problems with using a 'well-known' bulletin board like phpBB is that it is always a hacker's target and as we are in the process of transferring the Devil Whiskey site(s) and forums the fact that they receive nearly a hundred bot registrations per day emphasises the debt that we owe JP for his work on this board that has shielded us ... |

... as does Ascension. The Alpha team for Demise 1.04 have been very busy finding bugs in the existing game versions ( both the A-E and P-P varieties ) faster than I can fix them  but there's some progress to report The long-standing bug in MP where the server library cannot be viewed has been fixed. A similarly problematic bug with player chat when in MP, DirectX and in full dungeon view ( no panes ) that causes a 'Stop Statement Encountered' crash has also been fixed. Ascension related news follows ... |

Best wishes to one and all for the coming year ... may all your troubles be little ones ;-) By now you will have noticed we are testing version 1.04 ... apologies to those experienced prior contributors that I haven't contacted but we're not into the real nitty-gritty, we're testing versions that are fully independent of Artifact Entertainment and Pharaoh Productions .... more details follow: |

From this point on ... if you wish, you can set the Master Server address to "dms.decklinsdemise.com" as we will be switching IP addresses periodically while testing some of the components required for the 'new' download version of DEMISE and Ascension. You may also see some servers referencing versions 1.04 or 1.05 - you won't be able to connect to them - they are tests of the Decklin's Domain version of DEMISE and ASCENSION. Please note: Regarding unauthorized mods of this game - illegal copies of the game are being freely distributed by Archi / Rose using redirection from Slovenia to servers in Amsterdam - versions 1.52 will NOT be compatible with DEMISE 1.04 or ASCENSION 1.05 |

 I have no sense of time ... but it is clear a quarterly update is long overdue !!As you Demise world-weary longtimers probably guessed, it looks as though I won't be able to release Ascension before the end of this year as I had hoped. The good news is that I have recently received aid from a significant contributor to the original Gold release and so I can at least now let you know what's going on in more detail ... |

On the road ... April 2006 To all Demise and Mordor fans here is an update and a request for help ! After three months of operations a number of issues have arisen that we will have to deal with and some decisions have been made about the future of Mordor and Demise ... |
