Dunkelburg is a mod for Spear of Destiny, made by Michael Kalous (BAKTRA Software). It was released on February 25, 2005.

Description[]

The mod features 21 new levels, and a number of graphics have been changed, including the status bar. The set is meant to be a sequel to Red Sunrise. Compared to that set, the overall mood of this set is meant to be darker, secretive and tense. Upon release in 2005, all files were included in the download except the EXE.

2022 re-release[]

The mod was retouched for SDL release in March 2022. This release utilized a customized Wolf4SDL engine. The re-release includes the following innovations:

  • Refined maps. Each map was inspected and subtly refined to improve the overall layout and object placement, while preserving the spirit of each map. Some awkward mapping practices were removed. Two poorest maps were completely redesigned
  • Added few more customized sound effects
  • New title screen and subtle graphics changes

Other small fixtures, such as proper demos, were added for the SDL release. The original 2005 set remains available in port-friendly form, however.

Author's editorial[]

After finishing Red Sunrise, I was eager to continue with another mod, but given the amount of coursework on my plate, I decided to create something smaller. Therefore doing 21 maps of SoD was an obvious choice. Loved to work with the new SoD graphics, especially wall types. The maps are mostly massive and decorated, showing certain maturity. I tried to make them immersive and have the player to feel constantly threatened.

The best levels are the following: L04, L10, L11, L14, L15, L16.
