I hope this doesn't come off as shilling, it's rare to come across any good BD games nowadays. Besides, DC2 was good enough to be implemented into RnD.

Yes, I do think that DC2 (or Diamond Caves in general) is a very good BD style game (and it's even a little bit older than R'n'D). That's why I added support for reading its level sets.Besides, DC2 was good enough to be implemented into RnD.
I thought that I shouldn't support playing DC3 level sets too much as long as it is actively maintained and sold, to not hurt its author's business (although I think that just adding "the rest of the DC3 elements" shouldn't be too much of a problem).(And I understand now why Holger might not be responding to the "add the rest of the DC3 elements" requests.)
I suspect what happened here is the same with what happened with BD2K3: it was originally a mobile remake of the game [...]
Ah, sorry, I was thinking of Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary. Shares a "3" so the names kind of melded together in my mind. I should definitely get around to playing BD2K3 some time.Holger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 8:17 pmI suspect what happened here is the same with what happened with BD2K3: it was originally a mobile remake of the game [...]
BD2K3? Have I missed anything? Is there a mobile game version of BD2K3 out there? Never noticed! I only know it as one of the greatest level sets for R'n'D, created by Alan Bond in 2003, and still being playable just fine in current R'n'D...![]()
Great idea! I think RnD preserves the spirit of Boulder Dash-esque games the way they ought to be preserved, by sticking with the tried and true methods that made those games so great, instead of cramping things by telling players "you have to play the levels in this exact way, in this exact order, and here's some game-breaking tools if you don't like that."Holger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 8:17 pmBut if it should be true that none of the "classic" DC/DC2/DC3 level sets can be played anymore with the new Steam version of the game, I might consider adding a bit more DC2/DC3 support, just to enable fans of the "classic" version of this game to be able to play all those nice level sets without restrictions like handicap that cannot be disabled etc.
