Special thanks to Ausgamers for hosting our newest demo DASM Spell Quest v1.3. This version will be like no other and will be full of more mystery, more collectables and more puzzles and more things that go bump at night. (Yes that's right more spooky stuff!)
We apologize to all the parents who called us or emailed us demanding that we get our product out there for their children. We do understand your passion towards education but this has been no easy task. The good news is we are going nowhere and we are getting stronger and more popular every day.
Downloads for DASM Spell Quest will more than likely be available between the 12th -15th of July 2015. I will provide a link here when the time comes.
Thank you.

Hello everyone we have completed the new DEMO version of DASM Spell Quest and we are just around the corner from releasing it. Please be just a little bit more patient as we are currently negotiating who will be hosting our updated software. In the past Ausgamers has been really helpful to us and we are now waiting for some sort of possible agreement with them. Yet again we want to thank all people who were involved in the creation of this product and the amazing amount of votes we have received through steam.
We will keep you posted!_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________
Thank you to all the people who e-mailed DASM HQ and reported the bugs that were in the last DEMO. Without your help we could not prepare for the release of the Full Version of DASM Spell Quest. It is important to make sure that software works correctly and can run on more than one operating system.
We want to offer you a good decent quality product, even if it is just to do with the alphabet.
When DASM Spell Quest is released, DASM Mathematics should not be too far away either.
Once again thank you all who reported bugs found in the DEMO's.
_______________________________________________________________________
Finally it's here! It is still a BETA version but fully workable and this DEMO contains 250+ words with up to four letters. READ THIS to see what this software is about. Click here to READ MORE...
Please inform us of any issues you may encounter while using this DEMO.

Memory Game slip up no longer!!!
Good News!!
The DASM Memory Game DEMO is now finally available to download directly from us. Feel free to use the software anywhere that it may be needed and freely distribute it all you like. The purpose of this package originally was to go to an aged care home for a trial but actually got released to the general public also. This actually was not an issue because here at DASM HQ we like to help people who need it! So search no more here it is if you require it. HERE is the manual if you have any issues with controls etc..
Here is a bit of a story to the memory game...
If you notice at the start up there is a building in the picture. This building actually exists and is part of Port Pirie's heritage. It was the City's railway station where steam trains used to run down the main street. Not much remains of the railways now but the building is now a museum representing what the past once was.
The reason why this picture was used is because many of the elderly residents of this trial software actually knew of the building during their childhood or when they became residents. So we decided to integrate images of familiar surroundings with new technology so they would not fear and feel comfortable and relaxed with it.
And guess what???.............................................it worked......................
_______________________________________________________________________
Backup found
After a bit of a search and a few coffees the backup files have been found. Hopefully if all goes well we will release the DASM Memory game within the next few days which can be directly downloaded from our site. Once again we apologize for the late release of this DEMO but the circumstances were unforeseen. Special thanks again also to all the people who e-mailed asking for the DEMO. While I am here I will answer a few question I was asked. (I have no forums on this site but if you e-mail me I will display your message as long as it is appropriate.)
Question: "Can I use your DEMO at work and install the software on school PC's, my school is public and everybody will have access to the software in some way."
Answer: "YES!"
Question: "I have started my studies as a health professional studying in the field of stroke. Is it possible to install and use the software on Pc's and/or laptops at my worksite or even on hospital premises for my clients."
Answer: "YES!"
Question: "Is there any time limit or any fee that needs to be paid for this software package?"
Answer "No, no limit, no fee, it is just a simple DEMO and Epic Games allows UDK creators to release work for free publicly. (It's good advertising for their product too, they are not silly!!) But.... if you sell or make money from UDK creations you will have to get a license. Also it is illegal for someone to sell this DEMO or take credit for it besides me. It is free, period!
Thank you for your feedback and e-mails
(Read below to see why the software was withheld.) 06/11/14
Just when we though things were going really good and here we go just another slip up!! The good news is it is the way life is and things don't just turn out the way you expect them too all the time. Here at DASM HQ we had one of those moments.
During the packing of the memory game there was an issue with a program that should not have been in the list. So it was decided that it should be uninstalled. After the program was uninstalled, packing was supposed to continue but now the memory game would not load and everything had disappeared????
Then suddenly it was remembered.......some of the icons had been modified and had not been changed back during an icon test and even some of the descriptions of the game were modified too....(Do I say any more...???)
So basically we deleted the memory game by accident! (Go on laugh!!)
The good news is there is a backup but it will take time to find it. I think we are looking at one more week maximum. We do have a copy that we can have to download for you right now but the icons and the game description are incorrect and may or will cause confusion. (It did with us!!!)
Though...if we can find it even within the next few days it may be earlier than a week so keep coming back.
Sorry to all the people who e-mailed and were expecting to download this software on the due date: 9th Nov. I will try to have it for you very soon.
Thanks...Please be patient.

Take a look at our newest tester.
It is hard to find people who are willing to volunteer their time these days especially if they have a trade like Matthew Freer. This bloke has his own amazing website with some of his incredible artwork on display.
Thank you Matt for all your hard work towards testing DASM and your ideas towards the project.

*UPDATE*27 August 2014
(A DEMO version has been released to the general public. A download will be available from this site soon.)
The Memory game DEMO is finally completed. At the moment it is going through a few tests. Before it gets released I will open a page specifically on this program so there is a better explanation on what exactly this software does.
This software was created for people who:
are
have got /have had
- Elderly
- Illiterate
- Learning words
- Autistic
- Stroke
- Brain Injury
- Dementia
DEMO will be free to try when released but will have some restrictions.
The amazing bonus with the memory game is that it is random. No use trying to memorize the words because they always change. The memory program DEMO has 300+ words with full audio. (Flash Cards).
If your interested please visit this site fortnightly for any updates.

Aged care homes interest towards DASM
*UPDATE*27 August 2014
(A DEMO version has been released to the general public. A download will be available from this site soon.)
The Creator of DASM has been approached to create software packages for aged care. This will involve flash cards and memory games. A DEMO will be released "possibly" early next year and will be available to download from the DASM site. But the chances are that the guys at Ausgamers may even support this product for download also. Please visit this site on a regular basis to see what is happening next if you are interested.
_______________________________________________________________________
World and Save Game testing has started.
Testing has started on the second third of the game. This section of the game has the following worlds:
ABC World and Final Boss
Learn to make sentences and Final Boss
Learn to move.
Spelling World and Final Boss
These worlds also have a save file that needs to be tested. Along with this save file is a statistics screen. This logs all the items you collect through the worlds. It also has to delete items when the worlds are reloaded.
The last third of the game is still under construction. The worlds are nearly complete but the coding has really only just started. Hopefully this wont take too long and we wont have to wait too much longer.
Once again special thanks too all the people who gave us feedback and support including the volunteer time allocated to testing this software package.
_______________________________________________________________________
So far, we think Street Smart will be available mid next year to use for free. (01/06/16.) We will provide you with links when the time comes if you wish to download the software package. Street Smart is a modern urban survival guide if you have become lost, or are deciding to run away or leave home. It explains the police are you friend and not your enemy and that they have feelings too. It will be safe to use at schools, homes, anywhere!
It comes with certain life saving scenarios and explains the best possible method of action to take.
Street Smart is yet to be rated, it has no violent content but does have detailed explanations on what to do in certain scenarios.

Why does the release date keep changing?
We really apologize for changing the release date but this has been due to unforeseen circumstances. DASM Spell Quest will be released very soon and is in it's testing stage as we speak. Here are some reasons to why the release date changes:
- Bugs and programming issues.
- Updates and extra levels added. (Game saves added)
- Finding Servers, Sellers and Hosts. (Currently under negotiations.)
- No Budget. (Most money goes towards coffee.)
- Incoming ideas from Professional Teachers and Gamers being added.
