I know there have been a few changes at WotC. Has the dungeon builder been canned or is it still being actively worked on?

The D&D insider had it under the "upcoming features" button for a while now this button has been replaced with a "Subscribe" button, and there no longer seems to be a directly navigable link (although you can still find the page if you use search).

As a subscriber I would be VERY interested to know.

Who knows?

IIRC it was claimed to be pretty much done, but the attached VTT wasn't (and isn't, AFAIK) finished, so its pointless. I dunno, I think they would have made an official announcement if it was going to be cancelled; they may simply have decided to not advertise something which is low on their list of priorities.

No, WotC has not posted anything saying it is canned or cancelled.

Last update said that the Dungeon Builder was the closest to BETA. Not that it was close to done. The VTT doesn't really have any bearing on whether or not the Dungeon Builder comes on not according to everything they've given us. (Which isn't much at all)

I'm going to take the time to jump on this now that we have the attention of guys from R&D.

Will the other applications (Dungeon Builder, Virtual Table Top, and Character Visualizer) be released? Yes or No?

I'd say the devs are fairly aware of the forumgoers' petition to know about the future of the DB, VTT, and CV.

I am also fairly certain they will let us know something when they can.

I don't understand this. Its a SIMPLE yes or no question. If NONE of them can answer this then what is the natural thing to think?

The natural thing is that they're dragging us along. Answer the question guys. It isn't hard.

this is as bad an answer as it can get.
if i read you correctly, even you yourself cannot state "ok, we're working on it" - which means you aren't. which also means, it's not at all impossible to be cancelled in the future.

Here be dragons:

For those of us who just want D&D Next to be a good game, this is getting to be a real drag.

I think I figured it out.  This program is a character builder, not a character builder.  It teaches patience, empathy, and tolerance.  All most excellent character traits.

Nobody has said/will say whether it is canned. But given the caginess about saying what is going to be worked on after the character builder and the fact that they took all reference to them 'coming soon' off of the DDI main page, it would appear that even if the Visualizer, DUngeon BUilder and VTT haven't been officially canned, they are at the very least indefinitely on hold in order to die a quiet death.
