| NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT! Designated Demigod, from 1/2 of Team Soda Dungeon. | 2024-05-13 | Hey everyone! Shawn here from AN Productions. I’m the programmer/co-designer of Soda Dungeon, and I wanted to share my new project with you: Designated Demigod! It’s a turn-based combo RPG about a girl and her dog setting off on an adventure filled with gods, warriors, and a menacing research center. It's sort of a Paper Mario/ Street Fighter hybrid featuring hand-drawn animation, vivid environments, and high-energy combat. I've been working on it for almost five years now and I'm excited to finally be able to share it! While it does contain the turn-based DNA of Soda Dungeon it's not quite the same idle/farming experience. Consider it more o |
| Version 1.2.2 Released | 2022-09-20 | Version 1.2.2 makes for another maintenance update. We fixed a few more small bugs and made some stability changes that should improve the mobile experience. But of course we had to toss in a few new gems and an oddity just for fun :) Three new gems can be crafted: Uranium, Platinum, Copper. Seven new legendary/mythic gems will now drop in the Primal Lands. New oddity available: Treasure Trasher. Fixed some small bugs and reduced memory usage to improve crash rates. Before I go I wanted to drop a quick plug for a new project I'm working on called Signy and Mino; It's a fighting game RPG! It's... much different than Soda Dungeon, but Soda Dung |
| Version 1.2.1 Released | 2022-03-10 | Version 1.2.1 is what I like to call a "maintenance" update that addresses a lot of small requests, bugs, and balance changes. We hope everyone has enjoyed discovering new mythics in the Primal Lands; we still have more content in the pipeline so stick around! Reduced the max scroll speed of the town and purchase menus Added protection against relic level overflow Added "max relic level" option for late-game players (credit to caviyacht) Ore will no longer be considered for script checks involving MP and will also be ignored for the "has no essence" trigger “Remove Enemy Death Animations” now also applies to ore veins Blacksmith’s “Lure” will |

New story content and quests. 50 new items, including MYTHICS! 7 new minable ores and related plating effects. New stats to tinker with: Essence Multiplier, Withering (reduces enemy stats), +Battle credits per boss defeated, and Enemy stat boost (stronger enemies drop more gold) New statuses: MP Drain, Frozen, and Delirium (chance to atta |

| Soda Dungeon 2 Has Launched! | 2020-07-09 | We're proud to announce that Soda Dungeon 2 is now available for Steam (WIN+OSX) and mobile! We want to give a heartfelt thanks to all the users that have helped us during our testing phases, as well as those of you that have just been patiently waiting for news. We have a ton of updates planned for the game and will be looking to start on new content as soon as possible. Please leave us a review or comment with your thoughts on the game, we'd love to hear it! We're also excited that we're able to launch the game in six different languages: English, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. Localization is no small task but |
| Soda Dungeon 2 comes to Steam on July 9th! | 2020-06-29 | This announcement has been a long time coming, so we'll keep it brief: Soda Dungeon 2 launches on Steam, Android, and iOS on July 9th, 2020! Thank you for being patient! We're eagerly awaiting initial feedback so we can start developing new content as soon as possible. In the meantime, join the conversation on our Discord, Reddit, and Twitter: https://discord.gg/sodadungeon https://twitter.com/SodaDungeon https://www.reddit.com/r/sodadungeon/ PS it's entirely possible that we meant to post this update last month and just forgot to click the publish button but who could ever really know, not us that's for sure. |
| Changing The Formula | 2020-05-08 | As we've touched on before, our goal has always been to maintain the feel of what made Soda Dungeon 1 enjoyable while adding to it and improving on it in any way possible. AKA "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." While this has been a guiding principle of ours, it also doesn't mean we wanted to copy Soda Dungeon 1 verbatim. We've talked before about brand new features and mechanics for the game like crafting, quests, and custom battle commands (Soda Script). But I also wanted to cover some of the smaller changes we've made to the mechanics moving forward into part 2. You can hire six team members There was always room for six, why not let playe |
| Before There Is An Endgame, There Must Be A Game | 2020-03-20 | Hey everyone- I hope you're staying safe and quarantined out there! It's a weird time, for sure. So the endgame for Soda Dungeon 2 is something I see players ask about every now and then. In the interest of transparency, I wanted to give a short and simple answer: we have a list of content ready to develop but we need to see how you play the game first! See, Soda Dungeon 1 didn't really have an endgame until we realized that players were pushing far beyond the game's core 1000 levels. The relics + essence system were our way of saying "go nuts! have fun!" It wasn't until later that we added caps, the dimensional shop, the Lair of Despair, and |
| February Progress Report | 2020-02-17 | As we do our best to get Soda Dungeon 2 ready for launch we'll be looking to roll out more frequent updates. It's been about a month since our last announcement, so what's new? Bugs First, and probably least exciting: bug fixes. Although the game feels very solid now it's getting harder to add and update features without affecting other code that was written 2-3 years ago. Shout-out to the QA team at Armor Games (Ivan + Tasselfoot) for keeping us in check! Stables Last time I mentioned finalizing the stables and pets, which is now complete. Ten new little friends await! Items All items are now in the game. By my count we have about 170 total: |
| Soda Dungeon 2, 2020 | 2020-01-16 | Happy New Year! ..ish, sorry, we're a bit behind on that. The year is 2020 and that's exciting because Soda Dungeon 2 comes out this year! Here's what we've finished up recently: Story Mode All dimensions, quests, and character interactions have been taken care of. Bosses have more dialogue and more attack variety. We've also added little intro and ending cutscenes for the game, something that's a definite improvement from Soda Dungeon 1. We also tried our best to make new dimensions look more unique this time: All Characters Most characters and most skills were present for the final beta update but we finalized the tenth and final launch cha |
| Custom Music | 2019-11-01 | In Soda Dungeon 1 we searched the internet for tracks that we thought complimented the game really well. But for Soda Dungeon 2 we decided to produce a completely original score! Most tracks have been composed by David Orr (Castle Crashers, Sonny, and more). Check out a small preview below: You can also hear some more in our official teaser trailer: We even tracked down the composer of the original Tavern theme, Andy Robison, and asked him to create a new one for us! Audio is just one of the many pieces of the gamedev puzzle, but we hope this soundtrack lives up to the original. We should be able to upload and share the rest of the songs afte |
