History
Tangledeep began as a 7drl programming exercise by lead developer Andrew Aversa in February 2016. Under the guidance of Dungeonmans developer Jim Shepard, the game gradually began building in scope, starting from a simple, feature-less dungeon crawl. By the end of Summer 2016, several artists joined Aversa under the studio name Impact Gameworks, establishing the game's Super Nintendo/16-bit inspired visual aesthetic.
In March 2017, a Kickstarter was launched for the game, raising funds to complete additional artwork, animations, and music. The Kickstarter was successfully funded at over double the original goal, and the game went into Early Access on Steam in July 2017.
In September 2017, Jim Shepard joined the team as a second programmer, helping to prepare the game for localization and additional platforms as well as creating new features, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes.
Impact Gameworks intends to release Tangledeep v1.0 in January 2018, with several unannounced ports to non-PC platforms also planned for Q1-Q2 2018.
