changedTo celebrate the launch of Hatch and Slash, the free 1.10 Dungeonmans content update, the game is on sale for the week of 12 July to 19 July. Those of you weeping with regret at 10:05am last Thursday can redeem yourselves and get the best dungeon crawling adventure on Steam for the insane price of Five Ameridollars.
changedBattle PoultryMost Battle Poultry start as a blank slate, you help them grow and train by feeding them delicious monster steaks, steaks that sensibly drop from every type of monster, including skeletons. Guide your pet towards melee or ranged combat, and along the axis of Tough vs Swift. Tough pets will have extra health, and may taunt enemies away from you, or put up powerful shields. Swift pets move quickly around the battlefield, dashing through foes and doing adorable little flips while firing razor sharp quills at doomed foes.
changedBattle PoultryYour pets can also learn powers, just like you. Monster steaks may contain the essence of monster powers -- feed your pet with meat from Pouncebiters, your bird may end up pouncing and biting too. Bandit Assassins? Watch your poultry learn to toss ninja stars around the battlefield. They can do all sorts of cool things, drop battle banners, toss healing potions, pull you out of trouble, and even (if you find the right steaks) bring down starlight power and bend the forces of gravity.
addedBattle PoultryBack at the Academy, you can trade in unhatched eggs you find for items that let you breed new poultry. Each generation is a little bit stronger, and can mix the powers of its parents. Find the right combination of monster steaks and breeding to build your ultimate battle pet and watch them dominate monsters alongside you.
addedThank you for years of adventureI try to throw in something new into the game every year, I know I should be focusing on the Next Thing but Dungeonmans is my favorite old toybox and I can't help but play. Hopefully this update will inspire you to play a bit as well.
addedThank you for years of adventureI aimed for this update to capture the spirit of Dungeonmans and I hope you agree. Heroic adventure with a wink and a smile, a lighthearted game with serious gameplay. If you're new to the game, welcome aboard and I hope you end up swimming in loots. If you're coming back to give pets a try, I hope they entertain you and make you glad to spend your time here.

Battle Poultry
Heroes of level 5 or higher will soon find a Mysterious Egg, another item that can be identified and put to good use by the Academy Headmaster. Soon you'll be joined by Professor Hatch, a master of Ovomansy that will teach you the ways of egg magic.

Thank you for years of adventure
Dungeonmans has been live on Steam for just about seven years now. I deeply appreciate the community that has grown around it, the support has been absolutely life changing and the Discord is my favorite place to be.
I try to throw in something new into the game every year, I know I should be focusing on the Next Thing but Dungeonmans is my favorite old toybox and I can't help but play. Hopefully this update will inspire you to play a bit as well.

Other Changes / Bug Fixes
Save Issues
For the longest time, there's been a rare issue with Steam Cloud Saves and the first save slot. Sometimes after an Academy is erased, Steam Cloud tries to keep it around, which causes confusion and sometimes lost saves for players. I've added a check for that and if something goes wrong the player is shown what adventures are in the slot and asked to keep one.
Real Armor
This line of powers has been buffed a little bit. Specifically, Iron Defiance costs a bit
