Sup Delverers. The weather is getting colder, and I'm drinking eggnog which can only mean one thing: it's Delver Update Time. We have been busy with all kinds of fun additions lately, mainly focusing on upping our ranged attack game. Wands have been given some love to differentiate them all, and archers get a whole new revamped arrow physics system that is super accurate, and a whole toolbox of new bows to find.

There's some other fun stuff in there as well, including a boatload of new weapon and armor enchantments, a durability system, and some hidden stuff. Consider it our holiday gift to you, our favorite fans.

Changes

• New arrow physics system - arrows stick in and can be recovered from walls
  
• Arrows shot into mobs have a chance of being dropped on death
  
• Arrows have a chance of breaking on hit
  
• Bows can be enchanted, damage enchantments follow through with the arrow
  
• A whole heap of new bows, differentiated by range. damage, and speed
  
• Magic missile wand now lets loose a volley of rapid missile attacks
  
• Weapon and armor quality decreases over time when used
  
• Fire missile wand now causes a huge explosion on hit - be careful!
  
• New paralyze wand to stop foes in their tracks
  
• Magic weapons have a chance of being unidentified
  
• Added identify scrolls
  
• Added 'Enchant Armor' and 'Enchant Weapon' scrolls
  
• Items can have both a suffix and prefix enchantments now

• Magic missiles can be knocked back with a melee attack
  
• Graphical updates for the Ice and Storm wands
  
• Start area gained a happy little waterfall

• Status effect animations for poison / being on fire / being paralyzed
  
• Start of a fire system, that can spread fire to other entities
  
• Torch animation updates

Welcome to another Delver update! We're back after a hiatus (more on that below) with one of our biggest updates. This time we've added a new dungeon section, the Temple, that expands the game with two new dungeon floors full of undead horrors and nasty traps. If you survive that, you might find even more changes...

Along with that, we've also worked on making Delver even better with improved water effects, a bunch of bug fixes, a new randomized trap system, a totally revamped death screen, and potion grenades. Did we mention potion grenades?

Changes

• New dungeon area, the Temple!
  
• Boss area update
  
• Mouse wheel can be used to switch between hotbar items
  
• Better win / death screens.
  
• Potions can now be thrown when held
  
• Added water trim effects
  
• Fixed more cases where the player can get stuck while teleporting
  
• Juiced up magic particle effects
  
• Removed last vestiges of the cursor mode
  
• New splash particle effect
  
• Spikes are now 100% more metal
  
• Crusher traps to turn players into paste
  
• Collapsing floors
  
• Tweak to improve clipping plane issue with high FOVs
  
• Probably other stuff we've forgotten

Announcements!



This update is dedicated to Malcolm Laurence Skelton, the first child of our resident artist Joshua Skelton and his wife Melissa. Look at that little guy!

In our efforts to make a polish pass for every single area of the game on our march towards release, we've gone back and made some big overhauls to the sewer floors, possibly the weakest part of the game in the past. Now after our overhaul it's home to some of the most interesting level design and architecture in the game, we hope you enjoy it!

In addition to that we've spent some time polishing up some menus, fixing some bugs, and then adding some extra stuff just for fun...

Change log

• Revamped sewer area!
  
• New sewer procedural room generator!
  
• Updated main menu
  
• Game now tracks number of wins / deaths
  
• Added a fancy death animation for the player
  
• Ice wands are a bit more useful now...
  
• Ladders!
  
• Bugfix - dungeon room generator should no longer attach hallways to windows

As always, thanks for playing and let us know in our discussion area here on Steam your thoughts on the new update, and any issues you run into.

It's Delver update time again, and this one is a good tease for things yet to come. You might find a few new places on your way to find the Orb, and the caverns are starting to shift and change as we expand our random level generation from the last update to them as well.

To finish things off, there's also the inclusion of some new music from our friend Derris-Kharlan to accompany you on your way back to the surface, if you happen to survive long enough to enjoy it. He's done more great work, and we're super proud to have it in game!

Features

• Fully procedurally generated cave rooms.
  
• Dungeon generator knows how to make ramps now.
  
• Updated dungeon generator with some more placeable prefabs.
  
• New chase music tracks.
  
• Transitional shop area added between the dungeon and cave areas.
  
• Strange, it's starting to get cold down there...

It's time for another Delver update, and this is a fun one!

Our dungeon generation so far has worked by piecing together hand built level chunks, which has gotten us a long way and let us make spaces that are fun to explore. That also means that you may see the same areas repeat themselves between playthroughs which can be not so fun over time.

This update includes our work making a full procedural dungeon generator. This system lets the game create rooms from scratch when you play instead of relying on us to hand build everything.

This means we can let the game make spaces to explore, but still let us mix in our hand built pieces to make really unique places - the best of both worlds!

We built the rules to create these new dungeon rooms, but what comes out of the other side can still be truly exciting. Take some screenshots when you see an interesting place, because you may be the only person to ever see it :D

To finish things off, we've been working with the super talented Derris-Kharlan to add more tunes to the dungeon. We think they're great, and he's been a pleasure to work with so far. Check out more of his stuff on Soundcloud.

Features

• New dungeon room generator used in dungeon floors 1 & 2 to start with
  
• Some new music, and random track picker system
  
• More stuff, for you to find on your own

Bug Fixes

• Shooting a wand on a moving platform no longer teleports you to the floor below
