Dirk Dashing 2: E.V.I.L Eye v0.7 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This version adds the Part 3 levels for pre-order customers, and includes a new gadget: night vision goggles!

Dirk Dashing 2: E.V.I.L Eye version 0.7 adds 8 new levels for Part 3 of the 5-part story. The new levels are available to pre-order customers as part of the full version beta. Part 3 is titled "The Sinister Skyscraper", and it picks up immediately after the events at the end of Part 2. Dirk must make his way up the Conquertech headquarters skyscraper to eavesdrop on a secret meeting, but he has no idea what's waiting for him at the top...

By popular request, I've made these levels more puzzle-oriented than earlier levels. The story and setting for Part 3 works well for puzzles. Some of the new levels will also require the use of gadgets in order to complete the level. So far the levels have been solvable without using gadgets, but now that the game is progressing, I want players to start thinking about ways to use the stuff they're carrying in their inventory.

Version 0.7 also builds on the stealth capabilities that were added in v0.6.3 by adding a new gadget for the Part 3 levels: night vision goggles that allow Dirk to see in the dark. The night vision goggles gives Dirk a distinct tactical advantage, because guards and E.V.I.L agents cannot see him in the dark. So if you turn out the lights and equip a set of night vision goggles, you can tip-toe past enemies unseen and unheard, or knock them out before they ever know you're there. This is very helpful when dealing with more powerful enemies like Bombshelle or the Ninja. Many of the new levels have light switches scattered about so you can turn lights on or off at will.

Note: the night vision goggles don't work well yet with the existing levels in Parts 1 & 2. But I'll retrofit those levels later so you can replay them and use the night vision goggles that you picked up in Part 3.

Additional changes in version 0.7 include new music for the party in Chapter 2-2 and secret level Chapter 2-X, new computer lab ambient sounds for Chapter 1-5, and various bug fixes.
