Releasing DFD Q2 2023 - Our Timeline and the road ahead

Greetings Traveller!
We have a lot to announce in this community update, so without further ado let's get straight into it!
The Release Date for DFD
At the end of last year, we made the difficult decision to delay the beta and the release of DFD by an undisclosed amount of time. Contrary to our expectations, you guys – the Community – accepted this generously and gave us even more motivation to continue.
Since then we decided to wait with announcing a release date until we are certain that we can meet the new deadline.
That's why we are especially happy that in this Community Update, we are finally able to announce that DFD's release date has been set for Q2, 2023! At the same time, the beta for DFD is scheduled for theend of2022.
Taking your feedback from the community survey into account: We are planning to provide you with a feature- and content-rich game, which allows for a trulyimmersive tabletop experience rather than a simple tech demo that does not withstand any actual TTRPG campaigns. But how do we achieve this?
Dungeon Full Dive Levels Up
Next to the reveal of the release date of DFD, we have an equally exciting announcement to make.
We were able to secure over 600.000€ in fundingto step up the development of Dungeon Full Dive! With that, we are almost tripling the resources behind DFD. What does this mean?
tl;dr: We can make DFD gooder.
Long version:
We have just received a special federal grant for video game developers ("Computerspielförderung") from the German government worth more than 250.000€. Along with that, we were also able to secure additional funds worth over 350.000€ coming from a variety of sources; including smaller government funds and investors. The official press releases are still in the works and you can expect more information about this topic in the upcoming weeks.
The funding enables us to welcome additional, talented industry veterans into the TxK Gaming family. We are very eager to let you meet them in the following Community Updates. So look forward to that! Adding their knowledge and expertise to our party, we plan to take Dungeon Full Dive to the next level!
Speaking of updates...
Our Community Roadmap
Last but not least, we have also worked on the Dungeon Full Dive - Community Roadmap. With it, we want to provide you with a short overview of what you can keep an eye out for in these updates including – of course – our major milestones, communityevents, and various insights into the development:
We have a lot of exciting things planned for the future and hope that you enjoyed reading this community update. If you ever want to hang out with us and the community, feel free to join our Discord. We are just excited as you are for the release of Dungeon Full Dive.
And with that:
We are truly looking forward to seeing you inside DFD!

Greetings Travelers,
welcome to our latest community update. We'd like to start this community update with some rather exciting news regarding our studio:
We are expanding the TxK Gaming Family!
As some of you might have already noticed, TxK Gaming has just posted a lot of new job offers.
So if you work in the game industry, are located in Germany, and look for a fun and energetic workplace: Look no more ;) We are especially looking for new members in the art and development department, but there are also some open positions for QA and other areas.
Whether you are interested yourself or maybe you just know someone who might be, please feel free to contact us or forward our job postings! We are very much looking forward to meeting new and motivated people that want to join our journey!
Let's continue this community update by taking a short look at the results of the community survey from last month. In the survey, we asked you about your wishes and expectations for DFD as well as your thoughts in general. Overall the number of replies that we received was astounding. Thank you to everyone who filled out our survey!
Having so many people providing us with feedback allows us to get meaningful insights into what you –our community– look forward to the most. Some of the results were very close in line with what we expected and further ensured us that we are going in the right direction. Others however were somewhat surprising, while some we didn’t even expect (can you believe that 2% of the survey takers have actually never played tabletop in their entire life? What are you doing here?! Go play some DnD!). Nevertheless, your feedback is very much welcome and it helped us with planning the road ahead.
So without further ado let’s take a look at all the answers that we have collected. For your reading pleasure we have created this condensed, graphical info sheet below:
We have read all of your answers and want to give a special thank you to everyone who wrote those encouraging and genuine messages to the team in the last section of the survey. <3
The road ahead
As you might have already guessed from the job postings above, things are about to get even more exciting for the future of DFD. But when what and how you are asking?
Well, we are very excited to announce that we plan to drop an official timeline for DFD in the next community update! You can expect it to include exciting news regarding our plans for the release as well as the beta. So stay tuned for that! And with this exciting announcement, we would like to wrap up this update. Thank you for reading!
And as always: We are looking forward to seeing you inside DFD!

Community Update: Kickstart into the new Year!

– Sun, Jan 16, 2022 at 01:52:42 PM
We hope that you had a merry and bright Christmas as well as a good start into 2022! Just as you, most of our team has been taking off a few days during the holiday season, but they came back more motivated than ever!
Despite the global pandemic, we look back at 2021 as one of the most exciting years of our life, as it marks the beginning of the Dungeon Full Dive project. Even though it seems like the pandemic won't leave us any time soon, we are looking forward to having a spectacular 2022 together with you. So let's take a short look at our plans for this year!
Working on a date for the Beta
We received a lot of questions and feedback regarding the beta (for which we plan to announce a date at the end of this quarter!). However as we are getting closer to an official estimation, we want to give you guys the chance to give your input as well:
That's why we have created a community survey to give everyone the chance to talk about his wishes and his expectations for the beta as well as the game. This will help us understand what is important to you and will help us to determine the requirements and date for the beta. Furthermore, we will use your input to craft a roadmap (more on this after the date of the beta has been announced!) so make sure to fill out our survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/G5TJqCrTY3
We are looking forward to all your answers and feedback :)
Apart from that, all our Kickstarter announcements are now also back on our website as well, you can find them here: https://txkgaming.com/blog/
For now, that's it for this update, but stay tuned as we plan to rev up even more for 2022! So keep your eyes peeled for the next few updates. Big announcements are ahead for the next months!
As always, we are looking forward to seeing you inside DFD!

#Community Update: Our 2021-Recap for Dungeon Full Dive!🚀
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Dec 12, 2021 at 07:31:29 AM
Welcome back, Traveller!
This year is nearing towards its end and Christmas is alreadyaround the corner!
Time has really flown by and our whole team is thankful for all the support that we have received this year. We are also really excited for all the amazing things that will come toDFD in 2022.
So before we take a closer look at that, we want to take the opportunity in our last community update of this year to give you a short wrap-up of all the things that have happened in 2021!
In 2021,
we started our journey, together with all of you. With your help, we smashed our Kickstarter goals, ramped up an amazing team, and built what is to become the foundation of DFD:
The development team has done outstanding work by laying the groundwork with a lot of the core features for the foundation of DFD. These include multiplayer, miniature character possession, full-body IK for VR, and the first iteration for our interaction and inventory system.
And in case that you missed it: You can actually take a look at all of this in our exciting Q&A stream from last month, where we watched some sneak gameplay of DFD together with the community and answered community questions. We have uploaded it on youtube for all of you to watch: https://youtu.be/efZ9bgZqLC8.
Our Art team on the other hand has been tinkering on our breathtaking environments (two of them made it to the Q&A stream as well, so definitely take a look there!) and has worked on solidifying the artstyle of DFD going forward. We are really excited to show you even more of those environments beginning of next year so that you can see all of the cool interactions that are possible in them for yourself!
Overall, this has been a crazy year that developed completely different from what we initially expected going into another year of this pandemic. We are extremely grateful for all the amazing support and feedback we receive on a daily basis. This is what motivates us to work our hardest every day and to make your wait worthwhile!
And for 2022?
As always we have some cool insight updates planned from the art and dev team for 2022. While most of the team will take some day-offs during the holiday season, we do plan to take a closer look at another environment in the next update.
Also, since our announcement of the rescheduling of the DFD release date, many of you have been waiting for updates on the new beta release date. We are just as eager as you to announce a new date for the beta. At the moment we can't give an official date yet, but we plan to get everything prepared so that we will be able to do so around the end of Q1 2022. Stay tuned and we will make sure to announce a new date as soon as we can!
Nevertheless, that wraps up our community update for now. In case that you have any questions regarding the game, you can discuss them within our community on our Discord. Our Developers also check in there from time to time, so feel free to join as well!
Until then,
The whole TxK Gaming team wishes all of you a happy holiday season!🎅
