Badger Punch Games’ co-founder Ricki Sickenger had this to say about the news:
"When we released Roguecraft in 2024 we had no idea that the game would become as popular as it has on the Amiga, and even more so on the Evercade. We are super happy that we’re now able to release Roguecraft on even more retro platforms, starting with the Mega65 and Game Boy Color! With the help of some excellent friends, we’re able to present two new lovely ports of Roguecraft that cater to the strengths of each platform. We hope players enjoy and appreciate the passion that has gone into each of these ports."
Thalamus founder and CEO Andy Roberts adds:
"After the success of the original Roguecraft I was eager to work with Badger Punch Games to bring the franchise to as many gaming platforms as possible. It’s also been a joy to work with veteran developers RetroCogs and Rocketship Park, who have absolutely knocked the Mega65 and Game Boy Color versions out of the park. I couldn’t wait to dive into the dungeons of Mordecoom again, and I’m confident that fans of the original will feel the same."
Thalamus also plans to bring the game to other retro platforms, including PC and current-gen consoles.
