Hello everyone!

Mari and the Black Tower was my first completed game. Originally designed for Android in mind, I it released on Steam in October 2017, more than 6 years ago! How time flies...

To be honest, I've wanted to retire Mari for a long time, but I held off on it because two of my other games, Finding Light and Knight Eternal, are technically sequels, and retiring the first game could cause problems. That said, the gameplay and art styles are so radically different that I don't see this being an issue--plus I will probably be retiring its sequels within the next year or two as well.

Anywho, as with Roguelite 2 and Roguelite 1 before it, Mari and the Black Tower will officially be retired from sale on Steam. My target date for retirement is January 5, but this could change.

Before its retirement, I'll hold one last discount sale for 72% off (the maximum possible discount I can set!)

A couple notes before I sign off:

-Mari's Steam retirement is not up for discussion.
-I will not be distributing keys for it before or after its retirement. And just as a side note, I don't accept random friend requests.
-I'm still debating on whether to keep its Android version, alternately titled The Black Dungeon, available for sale as it's an updated version with better dialogue and less bugs.

I'll make one final announcement before the last discount with an official date and whether or not Mari will remain available on Android.

Thank you everyone and have a great holiday season!

Heya! A bugfix update was released today:

-Gravestones covering stairways on the Crypt floor were removed to prevent a bug that could cause them to be un-movable.

-Various other minor bugfixes

-Achievements should now work properly. Additionally, once you've reached the final floor, you can speak to the old man in the Westvale Church to activate *all* achievements regardless of difficulty or other progression.

I apologize for not keeping up with discussions involving Mari and the Black Tower. While I generally respond to emails ASAP, I only very recently started keeping up with Steam discussions, especially with my latest release Roguelite 2. This is why I've been very slow, and in most cases haven't at all, responded to bug reports.

If you encounter any game-breaking issues or still can't seem to activate achievements, feel free to email me at Jkweath@gmail.com. That said, my focus is on developing my next game, Knight Bewitched 2, so I will likely not release any further updates to fix minor problems unless a game-breaking error is discovered first.
