On May 26th, 2012 Neverdaunt:8Bit's Sever will be shutting down while development of the Unity3D conversion starts. (forum link)

I have been told there will be a party.

Neverdaunt will go live once again with the first Alpha testing of the Unity 3D version. Finalized details of the new Neverdaunt will follow soon on the Dev Blog.

All Subscriptions have been suspended until the new version. (forum link)

Getting things rolling again.

Hey look, its your old friend the News! Last post I have recorded (before our previous web host decided to drop off the earth) was in July... 2010.

Forums were lost, along with the wiki... and at the worst time.

Anyhow, that is the past, lets move forward!

Wizard opened up a new, better then ever Forum for us. He also setup a nifty Bugtracker, which will be very useful for everyone.

The Wiki is ready to be filled with data, and this news area is back to normish.

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 20:25:45 -0500

Added some little things, and lots of bug fixes.

New:
Tronic Displays now keep their text! (that's much cooler huh?
Falling animation
some cool new items by GreenWolf and Kuro in the shop
proper Tronic amount cap.
Heal Bombs now explode green.

Fixes:
made most Tronics not physical (everything except the displays)
Rewrote a huge chunk of the Tronic wiring stuff. much better now (no more bad wires)
That annoying bug where you ran around in a circle and your animation did that funny blip pointing you in the wrong direction? that's fixed.
lots of other little bugs are gone too... and still a few in progress.

Beta Trailer 2

Yep, that is what that is up there on the top of this page. It rocks completely.

Update: Tronics

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 12:02:01 -0500

Behold! Tronics!
Yeah, its a fairly big deal. Remember, these are brand new and experimental. Please report all bugs ASAP to me personally or on the forum.
Shortly there will be a Tronics Instructions post on the forum, so look for that. Also, remember lots of new Tronics will be added soonish, this is just the start.

What else is new:
-Attachable Blocks! Hold Alt while placing blocks to attach them!
-Shader - objects shift hue with the color of the sky
-Updated to the latest version of the 3D engine, had to remake any blocks with particles.
-Beach Block Pack! (mostly thanks to Pillow, and still a work in progress)
-New Pixels
-Wooden Steps

Fixes:
-Made some improvements to combat (it was lagging the server)

What still needs work:
-Using the block menu type in positioning and rotation on attached blocks is totally borked. I mean, it wont crash your game or anything, but it wont give you any kind of correctness.
-Attached blocks do not save... they will load up in the correct position, but they will no longer be attached.
-Tronics don't save.. they will get a separate type of save file.

Mover Tronic and Attaching Blocks!
