Dungeon Explorers 2 will bring the story of the Black Prince of Bertania.


The game will have 3 gameplay styles.

Tatical Battle
First Person Dungeon Crawling
The good and old RPGM style

It will have some base management. I haven't decided yet whether it will be a camp, an airship, an extra-dimensional base, or something similar. But unlike Dungeon Explorers, in DUEX 2, you'll travel across different locations, more like Final Fantasy IX, where you use an airship to explore the world.

Ahead in the game, my plan is that you can have a small city, a new born kingdom, where you can hear some people to help them or not, gaining bonus. Like the game Yes Your Grace.

Of course, the main point to get strong, get money and gain reputation, will be the dungeon. The game's name is Dungeon Explorers 2 because of it.

DUEX 2 still in early game design yet. My plan is to release an small public demo, not more than 15 minutes, without story, only gameplay for people testing, in the second half of the year, and together with the public demo, an exclusive Alpha version, with the story, longer and as the game is intend to work, for my top tier supporters.


The images are still AI-generated. Yes, I know I just lost half of you now. Unfortunately, my Patreon earnings aren't enough to commission artwork regularly, at most, I could afford one original piece per month. But I promise you, I've worked and studied like crazy to get the best possible image results for this game.

Some familiar characters from my previous games will make an appearance, and the sons and daughters of past protagonists will also show up.

Some spoilers now.

Unlike my other games, Dungeon Explorers 2 is a long-term project. So far, I’ve been developing two games at the same time. I started Dungeon Explorers and Prayers of Distorted Minds in April 2024. I completed DUEX in the second half of 2024 and then started Lukestria Family. The plan is to finish Lukestria Family in the first half of 2025 and have all the datable girls for Prayers of Distorted Minds ready. This way, I can focus only on refining PDM, adding details like pregnancy, children growing up, and city festivals. Once LUFA is complete, my full focus will be on Dungeon Explorers 2.

Did you like the management system in Dungeon Explorers? It’ll be in DUEX 2.
Did you enjoy the dungeon challenges from Peasant Dream Ascension? I’ll bring similar events and mechanics to DUEX 2.
Do you love the slice-of-life dating aspect of Prayers of Distorted Minds? Of course, that will be part of DUEX 2 as well.
Do you appreciate the deep storytelling in Lukestria Family? Yes, DUEX 2 will have a strong narrative.

All the best aspects of my previous games will come together in DUEX 2.


And… I’ll stop here for now. If I could, I’d turn this into my personal "Dear Diary" because I have so many ideas for DUEX 2! But for now, I’ll leave you with this info.

Dungeon Explorers 2 DEMO

This demo has a lot of cuts and is raw, since it's just a showcase to present the voting results. Soon, I'll be releasing the Alpha Test version for supporters of this tier.

Download:

Here’s a quick recap of the results:

Message Window and Dialogue: With a border and face image. I decided to show the character’s portrait in the text box when they're not visible in the scene and leave it out when the character is already shown in the image.

Gameplay: Tactical Battles like Fire Emblem and First-Person Dungeon Exploration like Wizardry. You have no idea how hard it was to get both systems working together. So many headaches, sleepless nights tweaking code, and endless testing… but they’re running smoothly now, and that’s what matters! There are still a few details I want to polish, but overall, things are looking great.

Have fun~~

Dungeon Explorers 2 will feature several original tracks. As they are introduced in the game, I'll upload videos of them on YouTube so you can listen to them whenever you want.

The exclusive Alpha Test for DUEX 2 will be released this Sunday. Stay tuned!
