Dungeonland’s First Developer Diary Explains its Origins

The first ever developer diary for Dungeonland explains the game’s origins.

The first entry in the series of journals will detail the developers’ philosophies in designing the game for co-op gameplay from the ground up. The folks at Paradox will release a new journal every couple of weeks.

“When we sat down to think about what would be our first big game project, we had no bosses telling us what to do, no investors asking us questions about monetization and no marketing gurus instructing us about the latest trends. We wanted to do something we were passionate about. And we all love killing monsters with spells and medieval weaponry.
