DC801 Black Mage Badge

The DC801 Badge Platform for DC28+, featuring a playable web build to increase ease of access for content authorship workflows, as well as for archival access to the game when for the hardware is no longer available.

Introducing Chapter 2 (for DC32)

A new expansion for the game has been added! Chapter 2 introduces King Gibson's castle and the badge's built-in USB-C serial interface. More characters, more puzzles, and more puns!
