A small bugfix update just went live, it fixes issues with arrows not always hitting mobs when shot from a bow.

As a fun addition, via popular demand here on the forums, it also adds a new Field of View slider to the Options menu.

Thanks for letting us know about these issues!

The September update of Delver is here, just in the nick of time. This is a fun update for us, since we had the chance to work with the awesome character artist Hunter Russel to redo all of our monster animations and the results shine.

We also updated to the latest version of the libGdx engine, fixed some collision issues that were causing people to get stuck in the mines, and got in some decent performance fixes that should stop the hitching some people have been experiencing. There's also a super fancy new menu background, to replace the boring image that was there before.

Features

• Redid ALL monster animations
  
• Monsters leave corpses now
  
• Some new NPC animations
  
• Bats have a lunge attack now
  
• The druid and worm monsters have jumping attacks
  
• Mages now have a windup before their magic attacks to give themselves away
  
• Fancy in engine menu background
  
• Player starts with some gold now, instead of 0
  
• Player and mobs can no longer stand on eachother
  
• Overlay text is now smaller by default

Bug Fixes

• Redid the stepping up physics code, should no longer get stuck in small spaces or step up onto columns
  
• Showing a win message instead of 'Dead' after finishing the game on the main menu now
  
• Fixed dragging and dropping items from the inventory not throwing them as expected always

We've been busy here at the Delver HQ putting together this new update, and I'm happy to announce that it's available right now!

The main focus for this update was to start making use of the offhand item slot and to that end we've added shields, held light sources, and added support in for two handed items. Alongside that work, Joshua started on adding clutter items to fill out the dungeons more and to make things look more lived in.

On the dungeon generator side, there is a new unique dungeon area feature that keeps track of what dungeon chunks have been spawned during a run, and let specially marked areas spawn only once. This system will allow us to make more interesting special event or puzzle areas, and we've added a couple of these as a test of the system.

Lastly, some armor has speed modifiers now so that an adventurer loaded up with full plate mail and a kite shield doesn't move as fast as one wearing leather armor, this is a baby step toward more interesting player choices regarding armor.

Features

• Shields as offhand items
  
• Two handed weapons
  
• Speed modifiers for Armor (plate mail is slower than leather)
  
• Held light sources like candles and lanterns
  
• Junk clutter items spread throughout the dungeon
  
• Tiny chance for monsters and boxes to drop junk loot
  
• New special dungeon areas
  
• A shadowy figure
