Happy 12th birthday to the original Pixel Dungeon, first released on December 4th 2012!

Unfortunately it's a bit hard to find the original Android versions these days, but if you're okay with APK downloads, you can find an archive of old versions here: https://github.com/00-Evan/pixel-dungeon-gradle/releases/tag/archive

If you're more interested in desktop platforms, the game is free on itch or paid on steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/365900/Pixel_Dungeon/

Unfortunately there is no proper way to play the game on iOS currently.

Recent News

Although this is c/Pixeldungeon's first newspost, it's the 11th one in total. The prior 10 posts were on our previous community on Reddit. That really does set the tone doesn't it? c/Pixeldungeon has come into existance as a new place for the pixel dungeon subreddit community, hosted by a platform that will hopefully be less abusive to its users.

After some initial turbulence relating to uptime and new registrations on lemmy.world, c/pixeldungeon now seems to have settled into a steady cadence of about 2-3 new posts a day. While I'd certainly like for us to one day get as big as r/pixeldungeon was, I think this is a great start. We've off the ground, and hopefully can continue maintaining and growing from here.

One thing I've been very happy to see is a strong presence from Pixel Dungeon developers! While I've been trying to make weekly posts of my own, there have also been dev announcements from both new and long-standing developers. Even if you ignore my posts, we're already doing quite well on that front I think. As for general activity, this newspost is a start, but I'll be seeing about making some megathreads soon to encourage more participation. In the meantime though, here are some of the best posts made in the last few months:

Hey Rat Punchers!

So it's been about two months since the community was founded, In that time we've grown to a healthy basic level of activity, but I'd really like to see things continue to grow.

I've already ported over some basic features from our former subreddit community, such as the same basic structuring of rules and an approximation of our old flair system to highlight OC and dev posts. Clearly there is more that could be done though, so I'd love to hear what sort of things you guys would like to see!

As an example, the old Pixel Dungeon subreddit used to run various events earlier in its life to help drum up activity, such as competitions with specific limited rulesets. Things like Shattered Pixel Dungeon's seed function would help a bunch with this, although I'd want to make events possible for other versions of the game as well.

Hey Rat Punchers!

This Lemmy community is an extension of the Pixel Dungeon subreddit. We've moving on from r/PixelDungeon to c/PixelDungeon for reasons that should be pretty obvious, but you can read my recent Reddit post if you want a more full explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelDungeon/comments/151g2tz/introducing_cpixeldungeon/

This community is brand new! So things are a little barebones at the moment. For now, please treat this place as an extension of the Pixel Dungeon Subreddit: all of the same rules apply. I'll be adding more here over the coming days.
