Walking in Dungeon
Lathmar: The Fallen Depths is a dark fantasy Dungeon Roleplaying Game focused on exploration, dangerous multi-dungeon delves, and a near-roguelite sense of risk and discovery.
Lathmar is a direct descendant and reimagining of Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol, an old-school Windows classic from the 90ies.
It has a rich historical foundation and backstory, from which we're also developing free role-playing material.

Wanted: Alpha-Tester for alpha-8
Time for a quick update. Lathmar: The Fallen Depths is in alpha, and I'm already rolling out release 8. I'm looking for alpha testers who aren't put off by bugs and enjoy contributing their own ideas. Since I'm very busy with work next week, today's your chance to send me a message or join the Lathmar Discord server.

I'm an illustrator who made this guide to helmets of ancient Greece.
It's a work in progress, and I'm open to get some feedback on it.
Thanks very much!

Water-Creatures
Many game worlds feature underwater creatures. Of course, you can't just copy the templates. Therefore, for its underwater levels (yes, water levels are finally back!), Lathmar gets the Rhovesh race, a malevolent fish-lizard-whatever kind of people who are not exactly friendly towards the player. Why, I wonder?

Sabnock Works in Lathmar
Today, my business registration for "Sabnock Works" was approved by the authorities. My hobby activities are now consolidated under the SW label, allowing me to report expenses—and hopefully, one day, revenue—to the tax office separately from my primary profession. My main focus is the completion and ongoing expansion of *Lathmar: The Fallen Depths*, though there are—and have been—other projects and ideas as well. These include a remake of *Chaos Wizard* (75% complete; development currently paused) and another passion project: a successor to *Heart of Africa* (currently in early development). I plan to use the SW label to apply for funding for both of these major projects next year.

Lathmar in August – The Closed Alpha is here!
August was a pretty important month for Lathmar: The Fallen Depths: on August 22, the first Closed Alpha finally went live, followed by three updates before the end of the month.
And the testers are already doing exactly what testers are supposed to do: finding bugs, breaking things I thought were working, and coming up with some excellent QoL and feature ideas.
Meanwhile, development continues. I’m currently rewriting the MDI window management to finally get the infamous scaling issues under control. The next builds also bring 100+ additional monsters, expanded loot tables, a dynamic trading system, and further work on the D100-based ruleset.
Monsters are becoming much more dangerous as well. Spellcasting, stealing, sneak attacks, invisibility and other abilities from the original Mordor: Depths of Dejenol are being integrated into Lathmar’s combat system.
Loot is changing too. Giant spiders no longer mysteriously carry a purse full of gold. Monsters drop materials appropriate to them, while actual equipment and valuable treasure are primarily found in chests, which may be locked or trapped.
So August was the month when Lathmar crossed an important line:
It is no longer just a game being developed. People are actually playing it.
And now we make it better.
Full August Dev Log is available for free on Patreon.
