Right now there is a full and demo version available for Windows on Desura. The Linux version is pending approval and should be downloadable at any time. The OSX version should be released next week.

Congratulations!  Been following this for a while.  Looking pretty awesome!

Just curious, how many people were on the development team?

Thanks!

One guy did the story and the majority of the dialog. All of the programming was done by myself with the exception of the multithreaded ogg loader. I also did all of the game art and map editing/game design. Then we had a few beta testers who also helped with getting the OSX and linux versions working as well.

In total probably 6 with 2 to make the game and 4 more to get it released.

Hello everyone,

We have now released Manor of the Damned on all major PC platforms! We are currently working to improve some parts of the game that players have spoken out about the most. We're adding more music, making the bosses more difficult, adding new game +, and some more length and variety, especially in the final area.

We've received so much great feedback about how fun people think the game is. There have been a lot of people saying specifically that they love the music and art. We're very happy to be able to present this game for you to enjoy.

Lastly, we were featured on IndieGames.com's Best Indie Games of the week list on March 26th!

All the people saying they want a copy in the comments and how awesome the game looks is incredibly inspiring for an indie developer. We are dropping the price by 40% so that the people who didn't get a free copy can pick it up at reduced price.

Thanks for your support!
