Greetings, Survivors and Hunters!

Firstly, let me start by saying what a tremendous year 2023 has been for Deliria as a whole. We started the community Discord server that you can join here, successfully launched Deliria's first ever open BETA and got some incredibly valuable feedback from the community.

I also want to wish each and every one of you a relaxing and prosperous happy holidays! I could not ask for a better group of people supporting myself, the development and Deliria as a whole. With all of that out of the way, let's dig into some of the questions I keep seeing pop up from time to time:

Lets get the most requested question out of the way first. With the current rate of Development and in it's current state, I'm of the belief that Deliria can launch into Early-Access during Q1 of 2023. I don't have a specific date in mind just yet, but that's my current plan.

I've been working to have new content ready for launch alongside Early-Access to give everybody new toys to play with (especially for the Play testers over on Discord, you guys are the best). So to start, a new Hunter will be launching with the game: The Revenant



The Revenant launches with a new range of abilities that make him an offensive powerhouse. If you like a fast paced and aggressive play style then you will absolutely love The Revenant.

But that's not all, included with the Early-Access launch you'll also be able to play our newest map: Green Valley Mental Institution



A corrupt institution for those most vulnerable has been abandoned. You'll get to experience this haunting location for yourselves first hand! I'm beyond proud of this map and I cannot wait for you all to try it out.

With more improvements to the Voicechat system, HUD design, gameplay and sound design in the pipeline I think 2023 is going to be a fantastic year for Deliria. When I have more to share closer to Deliria's release, expect to see another post here! Thank you all once again for your constant support, I can't wait to see you all in-game.


All the best,
DotNET

Dear OOO-recruits and agents,

We are excited to announce the first big balancing and QoL patch for Hubris.

We improved the gun aiming and stability. We adjusted the iron sight of the handgun to be more precise and easier to use,



the holo sight on the burst rifle now correctly works and



on top of that when you wield a gun with two hands a laser dot will appear for your more accurate far-range shots.



Furthermore, we also reduced the amount of resources needed per upgrade.

For those adventures who like to find everything out by themselves, we added an option to disable most of the tips Lucia gives you.



Speaking of menu's we overhauled the entire design of the menus to enhance navigation and clarity. We included the option to select Chapters to start from after you completed a section of the game and you can also change save profiles from within the main menu. Hubris now has localisation for Chinese and Dutch and thanks to one of our community members Mayky Czech.



Aside from these major changes we worked on several smaller QoL additions: we increased the speed of creating healing drinks in the Loft, we made flying drones more responsive and aggressive, added better collision on a lot of spots, we improved the performance in the Cyan pumps, improved stability of climbing and many many more fixes. You can find the full list below.



But this is not the end of it we got a few major changes still in the pipeline for the game that will be made available to all of you next year. These changes will include but are not limited to ambient music, further enhancing the AI of some enemies, reworking the gun reloading, NPC reactiveness and adjustments to voice recording. We are glad so many enthusiastic players are willing to support us as a studio and are willing to contribute with suggestions and help us further push Hubris.

To Conclude we wish you a 2023 filled with VR-happiness and high-quality VR content. Know that we as Cyborn will do everything that we can on our end to fulfill this part with Hubris and our future patches!

Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays, and a happy new year.

And if you want to help us improve further upon hubris, please join our discord and come and share your experience of the game.


While we launched there were a lot of problems with third-party platforms and software that made some features of the game not run well. We would like to thank all the platforms that applied fixes and updates since then so you can now enjoy and run the game on more headsets with more runtimes.


• Valve added a patch on their beta branch which solves subtitles lagging the game on Steam openXR headsets.
• WMR created a patch that is available on their beta branch which makes it possible to play the game on WMR devices with steam openVR: https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsMR/comments/zo1s6b/windows_mixed_reality_for_steamvr_beta_updated/
• VirtualDesktop made multiple patches by now and got a stable version so now you can use VD and SteamOpenXR to run the game wirelessly with Quest and Pico devices.
• We are still talking to Varjo for a fix on their platform, something is broken on their end which causes the Foveated rendering filter to break the openXR stereo rendering layers. We are working together with them so they hopefully can provide all of you with a patch for this.

• Rebalanced salvage materials to lessen the grind of searching and dematerializing.

The various cooling systems are now better connected to the new damage model, giving new options for correct engine and systems management after being hit. For example, if one of the two radiators in the Bf-109 is punctured, it can be cut off with a special valve, and then the system can keep functioning with half the effectiveness but still pressurized. The new coolant system means that if there is a puncture towards the upper part of the coolant tank, they depressurise to atmospheric and thus with a low boiling temperature. The visual steam effect size now naturally depends on the type of leakage, either from a safety valve or from a bullet hole.

Another new feature is a new model for bulk boiling occurring when the system is depressurized, and its temperature is higher than the boiling temperature for the ambient pressure. The coolant flow now depends on the system’s temperature and pressure, the total area of all bullet holes and the ambient pressure.

A small but pleasant addition is different kinds of available coolants, from pure water to a winter type coolant with their different physical parameters.





Merry Christmas and best wishes for this holiday season and for the year ahead. To you and all your loved ones, thank you for your trust and ongoing support during these tough times. Rest assured that we continue working hard to meet your most demanding expectations.

We are deeply grateful to you, our Community, partners and friends for making our dreams come true.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Merry Christmas!

Hello!

We've an amazing offer for all Spirit of the Island owners (or not yet owners *wink*)! We partnered with Curve Games to bring you an exciting collaboration of two sim games.

Now, all of you know a great deal about SOTI so let's talk about Autonauts first. While we can call it a farming game, technically, it's a lot more about the simulation part of the life-sim genre.

In Autonauts, you travel across universe and colonise uninhabited planets.. with the help of your bots. Yes, you heard that right. You'll be creating a colony of robots, automating them by using a visual programming language with the ultimate goal to create a fully automated and self-sustained colony. And don't be scared about the "programming" part - it's very easy to learn and you don't need to code anything!

"But how is it similar to Spirit of the Island?!" - good question! Autonauts has all core features of a good life-sim game: from gathering to building, cooking and fishing to tailoring, farming, animal husbandry and more - the opportunities to automate and colonise and truly limitless. So instead of being the "adventuring farmer", here you'll take a role of a robotic colony leader! Sounds exciting? We bet it is! The Spirit of the Autonauts bundle will give you an additional 15% discount to current price level.

Thank you and have fun!
