Quest Master, the dungeon-designing sandbox adventure from publisher and development studio Apogee Entertainment, developer Julian Creutz, and co-developer Skydevilpalm, freezes over in today’s new Ice Dungeon Update, and unlocks a treasure chest of content with its highly-anticipated 1.0 launch in Spring 2025.
Deep within Aetheria lies Coldfang Grotto, a treacherous, frostbitten expanse where slippery slopes and bone-chilling obstacles await. Challenge dungeoneers to navigate this frozen terrain, brimming with monsters, puzzles, and traps across a biome crafted for heroes brave enough to embrace the cold.
Coldfang Grotto isn’t just ice—it’s a story waiting to be told. Design frosty gauntlets with treacherous slopes, create icy puzzles that challenge even seasoned adventurers, or transform slippery terrain into opportunities for creative traps and encounters.
Incorporate brain-freezing brainteasers with new mechanics:
- Freeze objects in Maker Mode, creating puzzles that challenge adventurers to unthaw them.
- Wield the freezing boomerang to halt enemies mid-motion and use them to activate pressure plate puzzles.
- Turn bodies of water into temporary ice paths, unlocking new ways to navigate treacherous terrain.
Choose from dozens of floor tiles, strategically place enemies and traps, and forge a legendary, one-of-a-kind quest. Construct intricate dungeons with an intuitive interface and simple drag-and-drop features. Upload creations for other Quest Masters to enjoy, and embark on a myriad of brain-teasing, skill-testing adventures with 3,000+ community-made dungeons to choose from, a number that continues to grow daily.
“Seeing the Quest Master community create over 3,000 dungeons is incredible. It proves that this game has become more than just a dungeon maker—it’s an imagination engine,” said Julian Creutz, Lead Developer of Quest Master. “The creativity and passion of our players in Early Access continues to inspire us as we build the Single Player Campaign into something truly special.”
At 1.0, experience a story-driven adventure across Aetheria in the highly-anticipated Single Player Campaign—crafted with the same powerful tools available to the community. Explore Castle Town as it grows into a bustling hub of quests and characters, journey through six elemental dungeons filled with unique challenges, and uncover secrets that connect players and developers alike in shaping Aetheria’s destiny. Take on daring quests, meet unforgettable allies, and fight to save the kingdom from corruption in an epic campaign built to inspire even more custom creations.
“Quest Master bridges the best of classic 16-bit dungeon crawling with tools that unlock endless creative possibilities for players today,” said Jeron Moore, Executive Producer at Apogee Entertainment and Game Director of Quest Master. “The Coldfang Grotto theme expands those possibilities even further, offering new mechanics that make dungeon creation more exciting and imaginative than ever. It’s incredible to see how the community continues to bring these tools to life, and we can’t wait to share what’s next as we build toward 1.0.”
