Announcing the first release of #OpenCrystalCaves, an #OpenSource reimplementation of the #DOS platformer game, #CrystalCaves!

congusbongus.itch.io/opencryst

This release is barely playable - you can move around in the main level and enter/exit barren, unimplemented levels. Stay tuned for more to come!

@congusbongus hey, FYI I tried to run this and it complain about four different missing DLLs - all of which have an extra "D" at the end of the filename before the extension, and which seem to be "debug" versions which aren't installed with the regular versions of the Visual C++ runtimes (all of this according to a quick google).

@congusbongus I have to check it out. I played the game a lot in my youth but haven't got very far. Can't wait for it to be fully playable.

Edit: Looks like I have to wait a bit, Windows only for now. Looking forward to it.

@congusbongus The same engine runs Secret Agent, so once this is done that one should be trivial

@congusbongus This looks awesome! Do you also plan a #Linux release in the future?
