You could use the clip of Ty hitting that dude with a shovel too :)

As far as I understand, they actually update the existing game, so the breaking your game part is free, you don't have any chance to opt out. I should point out that this only would hurt people who use certain mods, but modding is pretty popular so it seems like a lot of players were effected.

So glad to hear it! The original is already released so you can check out the free demo (or the full game). store.steampowered.com/app/2958790/...
Cyclopean: The Great Abyss on Steam
Cyclopean: The Great Abyss is a small scale, mechanics driven CRPG/Roguelike in a retro, monochromatic style, that takes place in the underworld of H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands.

Bad RPG perhaps, but definitely a quality script for a low budget sci-fi movie!

It makes me very happy to hear this. Thank you.

Thanks for providing such a cool platform to share our passion!

Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands is the much anticipated follow up to Cyclopean: The Great Abyss. An old school CRPG in the vein of Ultima, Questron and Legacy of the Ancients, based on H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.

You will have to wait until Cyclopean III... (not that I will ever be able to make it! ... but maybe)

I really like how it seems to emulate a tabletop strategy game!

Nice looking map!

I love the squid beast ... more squid beasts!

Working on my overworld map. This in not an in-game screenshot, just a work in progress in the level editor.

Wishlist Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands! Maybe I will produce some more finished looking screenshots in the near future. The level design process is filled with weird little artifacts, that I am too tired to explain.

You can team up with them and fight zoogs...

Inside the level editor, the display does not show transparent sprites, hence the weird white blocks. When it runs the game these will be transparent and will look more natural.

Fantastic!

Nice combat! Meanwhile this guy seems to be suffering needlessly :)

Ah, yes I see it more clearly at the beginning of the video. The second two overworld scenes feel like they are just going in a straight line. But the first one I can clearly see they are being controlled/changing direction.

In any case it look great!
November 2, 2025 at 6:53 AM
Are you controlling the characters in the overworld area, or is it more like a cut-scene?

Honestly I think X did a better job at keeping me connected to the other developers. I often feel people who I regularly would have interacted with are not present here, but then I look them up and they are really active. It could be just having to get used to the way things work here.
