EVIL DUNGEON III (C64) is coming!

Posted on by Greg

So, if you haven’t noticed yet. I shortly announced at the Gamescom 2024 that EVIL DUNGEON will become a trilogy!

After some rest, I really thought about how to proceed. Creating a complete new game or make another sequel for EVIL DUNGEON?

I realized quickly that there a more ideas in my head for a sequel, that I really want to bring to live. I really love the ED concept, but as you move on you see more and more possible improvements that could be made. This is why ED3 could be possibly the best EVIL DUNGEON game ever.

I can repeat my announcements from part II and change the title to III 😉

While keeping the general concept of a fantasy story based dungeon crawler, EVIL DUNGEON III will offer a whole new story, maze, monsters, music and also some complete new features.
ED3 will get a nice little polish this time and also some unexpected features.

To be honest, I really love the new cover artwork 🙂

And yes, there will be a physical collectors edition again!

Follow me and the progress of EVIL DUNGEON III here:

EVIL DUNGEON (WiC64-Version) released!

Posted on by Greg

As of today you can also find my adventure game “Evil Dungeon” (English version) free to play in the WiC64 portal!

You find it in the “Online Games\Highscore Games II” section.

What’s different in the WiC64 version?

  • The game loads very fast!
    Game data will partially loaded from my webserver and benefits from the technology of the WiC64 device. It’s a great experience!
  • Online Highscore!
    If you master the dungeon, your experience points will be stored 1:1 as score in the online highscore list. There is a own highscore list for Evil Dungeon and it also counts against the “All games” highscore.
  • The gameplay and main content remains the same as in the offline version 1.1 – no changes here!

What is a WiC64?

The Wireless interface for
C64 – SX64 – C128 – VIC20

The device offers a variety of features: Online portal, chat, demos, games, apps, online multiplayer games, SID-Radio and much more…

More info: WiC64 – The Commodore 64 Wireless Interface

If you don’t have a WiC64, you can order the hardware from the link above or you can use the Kernal64 emulator which includes a virtualized WiC64 device. It’s free!

You don’t like the idea of going online with your C64?

Don’t mess around! Get a physical collectors edition, put the 5,25″ floppy in your 1541/1571 and enjoy it the classical way! 🙂

What or Who is RetroArts?

Posted on by Greg

Hey people!
My name is Gregor, born 1980, living in Germany and since 2022 I’m developing games for our beloved Commodore 64.

Is RetroArts a company or a trademark?

RetroArts is just an overall name for my C64 projects and business. I’m acting as a sole proprietor.

Why coding games for a machine that is older than 40 years?

Grewing up with this machine and still having fun with it is something I’m sharing with a whole commnuity out there. Still seeing a lasting demand on content for games I decided to make my own one.

Why coding in BASIC V2 and not Assembler?

To be honest – I never learned Assembler nor am I a professional developer. But I think with a little creativity and the right concepts it’s possible to create fun games in BASIC too. And finally, I like BASIC, because it’s simple and READY_ to go!

Is there more to come?

Yes, as long as my spare time allows I’m trying to make new games. But please be patient and there will be no fixed dates preannounced.

How can I support RetroArts Projects?

You can do a lot:

  • Follow me on Facebook/Instagram and share my postings (use links right)
  • Donate a few Bits or Bytes when downloading my games on itch.io
  • Purchase the physical editions of my game projects like EVIL DUNGEON
  • Send me feedback, questions, ideas, …
  • Join communities like N3rdroom (german) on Discord

Welcome to RetroArts!

My name is Gregor Schillinger, born in 1980 and since the age of nine I’m an owner of a C64.

In summer 2022 I had the idea for creating a game for my lovely “Breadbin”. The project made me a lot of fun through the last months. Therefore I decided to continue develop for the C64 and I already have some more follow-up ideas. For this reason I decided to put this all together and publish under the name “RetroArts”.

My first game “Evil Dungeon” will be released early 2023.

I hope people have fun with my games and I’m looking forward to get some feedback from you!
