New Ultima-Like Game in Development - Contract Terminated

I'm working on a new retro-style game inspired by the Ultima series that includes standard DRPG first-person dungeon crawling combined with overhead map traversal.

It's called Contract Terminated, and is a scifi-themed game where you need to survive on a hostile planet.

It's here on Steam if you'd like to take a look:

I really don't know whether the Ultima-type games count as DRPGs since they're half first-person dungeon crawling and half overhead map traversal. I guess that makes them half-DRPG? Is there a category/name for hybrids like that?

New DRPG Release - Toward The Ice

I released a new Norse-themed DRPG called Toward The Ice.

The gameplay is inspired by the 1990s DRPGs (Bard's Tale, Wizardry, and Might and Magic). There's turn-based combat, grid-based movement, quests, lots of monsters, a ridiculous amount of equipment drops, and a full original soundtrack. And a manual.

There's a free demo of the first quarter of the game if you'd like to give it a try, and saves transfer to the full game so you don't lose any progress if you upgrade.

This is a standalone sequel to the Navigating The Labyrinth DRPG that I released last year.
