"Best Multimedia Adventure/RPG Game" (1995) Lion Entertainment went on to port several popular first-person shooters including Doom II, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake to Macintosh before voluntarily closing in 1999. SSI and Lion Entertainment did collaborate on a sequel to Slayer titled Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: DeathKeep, released on 3DO in 1995 and Windows in 1996. A version for the PlayStation was announced for an October 1995 release but never materialized. Computer Gaming World reported months ahead of the game's scheduled launch that SSI and TSR were dissolving their partnership and that Slayer would be one of the last products in that agreement. The game was published by T&E Soft in Japan on Januunder the title Lost Dungeon. Slayer was released exclusively for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer by SSI in North America in September 1994 and by SSI's parent company Mindscape in Europe in 1995. The game's 3D modeling and rendering were done by Grounds, Bollinger, and Sanders. Grounds served as executive producer while assisting on programming. Lion Entertainment's principle staff for Slayer consisted of director Roland Bollinger programmer Glen Merriman music composer Billy Wolfe sound editor Geoffrey Sanders art director Daniel Bourbonnais and artists Daniel Bourbonnais, Martin Thomas, Sara Farr, and Rebecca Price. He was also a producer at The 3DO Company's Austin office. For Slayer, SSI gave development duties to Lion Entertainment, an Austin, Texas-based studio founded by Douglas Grounds in June 1993. SSI had previously used the license to adapt the property into a number of notable games including Pool of Radiance, the Gold Box series, and Eye of the Beholder. Slayer was developed as part of a contract between video game corporation SSI and TSR, the owner and publisher of the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. The game may be saved at any time, but is limited to a single save slot.
When starting a new game, the player may either create a custom character with randomly generated stats, pick from a selection of preset characters, or reuse a previously created character. The dungeon always ends with a boss floor, randomly selected from several possible bosses. Slayer features a customizable dungeon generator so each time the player starts the game, they are faced with a new dungeon. A Japanese version titled Lost Dungeon ( ロストダンジョン) was published by T&E Soft the following year. The game was developed by Lion Entertainment and published by Strategic Simulations in 1994 for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.
