Dear astronauts,

Our Kickstarter for Deliver Us Home has just about entered the final 24 hours of its campaign! Now is your last chance to gain access to our exclusive Kickstarter demo and get an early taste of what we have planned for the third game in the ‘Deliver Us’ series - and to support us when we need it most.



It’s the 23rd century. Humanity has long ago evacuated the wasteland that is planet Earth. You, a descendant of the evacuees, have been trained relentlessly to become an interplanetary astronaut. Sent out into the endless void of space, your mission statement is as simple as it is impossible: secure a new, permanent home for humanity.

After a long journey, you approach your designated planet. Though you’ve prepared for the unexpected, the worst, and the most extreme conditions, there’s no telling what lies in store for you on the surface. Survive the unknown, explore the desolation, and break ground for humanity’s new home as you uncover the secrets of mysterious settlers that - somehow - arrived here long before you did...



Deliver Us Home brings renewed focus to what has made the series so special. Atmosphere, mystery, solitude, story, desolation, and space. Combined with a greater degree of player agency and wide linearity, we’re excited to show the beginnings of the third game in the series! Also: pickaxe climbing is gone for now.

The demo showcases various new mechanics and structures. Where previous Deliver Us games followed a strictly linear path, with one objective at a time, Deliver Us Home gives more freedom. By exploring and engaging with the environment, multiple different objectives are revealed that lead to various places and challenges. Head out into the world to collect not just story elements, but also ingredients and components to craft parts, devices, and suit upgrades. All this is combined with a large assortment of collectables that gradually reveal more of the narrative!

Gain access to the exclusive Deliver Us Home demo once the campaign ends successfully, by backing for the Early Bird Edition or higher!

We hope to see you there. Thank you for your time and consideration!

A couple of errors in the texts made their way into version 28.11, we fixed them.

• Remote Controlled Popstar should have "1 narrative" in the ability text, not "2 narrative" (thanks, Aqwijn).
  
• Raptor Boys should mention "2/1 Baby Raptors" in the ability text, not "2/2 Baby Raptors" (thanks, Dunkoro).
  
• Fixed description of card packs and Comedy Back Cover in the Store (thanks, MageArmour).

Hellish Quart has a Survival Mode, where your fighting skill is scored in detail and your rank is displayed on Steam Leaderboards.

Hi all,

Today we’re kicking off the Open Beta for the Mystic 1.3 Update. As previously indicated, the focus of this Update will be on addressing the Balance Feedback we’ve received that we feel shouldn’t be left too long. These Balance changes come alongside more Bug Fixes and other adjustments that we make along the way.

The two major subjects we’re looking at are the recent Rank Updates and the Eldritch Sovereigns. The update today includes several changes to City Structures & Society Traits to address the speed at which High Rank Units can be obtained. For Eldritch Sovereigns we have identified some areas where things should be tweaked, but we welcome you to let us know what your pain points are.

You can find the Open Beta branch by right-clicking on the game from the library page and selecting "Properties". Among the available tabs will be the "Betas" tab. The Open Beta should be listed in the dropdown menu under "Select the beta you would like to opt into:"

• Mystic Attunement - Quick Casting can no longer be done multiple times on the same Spell.

• Link effects like Enchain Mind and Limited Seal now have a priority equal to the unit using it. Since a unit can only have one link active at a time, a higher prio means that higher tier units can remove link effects from lower tier units but not the other way around. So the Progenitor Golem (Tier 5) using its Limited Seal on a unit means that the Umbral Mistress (Tier 4) cannot use its Enchain Mind on that unit.

• Alignment waning has been changed so it will only wane upwards towards your starting alignment when below that amount, instead of always waning upwards towards 10 alignment.

• Removed Eldritch Relics from being included in the pools for generated Rewards.

  • Enable Ascension Traits
    
  • Enable Ascended Transformations and Skills
    
  • Enable recruiting Pantheon Rulers as Heroes (disabled in multiplayer)
    
  • Regardless of these settings, you can now always ascend your ruler at the end of the game.

Arcalot

• Added a Custom Tooltip to explain the relation changes between Serena & the Covenant
  
• Added additional clarification that entering the Dreamroot Oak does not require the army to stand on the Province Centre.

• The Fallen Bastion event in the Castle Ruins ancient wonder in the Umbral Abyss has an option to pay mana without explaining that it would remove the Rampant Umbral Taint combat enchantment, this has now been added to the button’s tooltip.
  
• Umbral Dwellings now more frequently ask to declare war on other Rulers during demand events. Before this was a very low chance of happening if there were Free Cities available, now it’s about 50/50 if both a valid Free City and Ruler can be found.
  
• The Umbral Thralls race now has 1 less Society Trait randomized each playthrough, as their innate “Umbral Thrall” Society Trait takes 1 of their spots. Before this change they had 3 society traits which normally isn’t allowed.
  
• World Map Spell “Pall of Gloom” - Can no longer terraform Uninhabitable Provinces into Gloom Terrain.
  
• Combat Spell “Umbral Exile” - Any Independent Units exiled to the Umbral Abyss will now die instead of being moved to the Umbral Abyss.
  
• Unit “Abductor” - No longer able to Abduct invulnerable Units

• Duration pins for all outpost operations are now enabled and visible for everyone, so anyone can notice that an upgrade is being built and how long it will take to complete without having to select the outpost.

• Fixed an issue where the Enchantment PFX on the Animist Staff would be offset
  
• Fixed an issue where Unit Models would stretch incorrectly while using the “Pull” Ability at 4x Animation Speed
  
• Fixed an issue where the Rider would also perform a Attack Animation when using the Spider Mount “Web” Ability

Combat

• Fixed a crash that could occur when using Boon Stealing on repeating attacks
  
• Fixed an issue where Units would sometimes miss New Turn Events resulting in various issues such as failed removal of timed effects.

Free Cities/PvE Diplomacy

• Fixed an issue where a war with a Free City could end when that city increased in tier.

Happenings

• The Presence Of property icons on the Scourge units now have the correct icon in the style of properties, rather than the combat enchantment icon.
  
• Fixed an issue where Major Happening foreshadowing events would sometimes not appear.

Interface

Controller

• Fixed an issue where entering Tooltips would reset listboxes to their currently selected location.

Item Forge

• Fixed an issue where the Awaken Flora ability on Item Forge Staffs were used as the default selected ability, causing accidental activation of the ability when trying to move into flora terrain.

Story Realms

Grexolis

• Fixed an issue where the third introduction event would not appear if Order was the highest Affinity.

Umbral Abyss

• Fixed an issue where, if you opened a different interface while having the War Confirmation screen through an event, you could exit the event prematurely with no effects. This primarily could happen during Umbral Dwelling demand events
  
  • The fix was to remove the confirmation screen, now instead you’ll see the consequences of declaring war in the event button tooltip. Clicking the button immediately declares war
• Fixed an issue where Umbral Demons were wrongly immune to Poison.

Units

• Fixed an issue where Pyre Templar units with Aspect of the Root enchantment had their main ability shifted around.
  
• Fixed an issue where Golems and Undead Units did not have Heartless
  
• Bone Dragons & Reapers are now always considered Magic Origin

World Map

• Fixed an issue where Uninhabitable Mountain provinces in Land maps sometimes contained forests in their center hex, which allowed Free cities to annex them. Which should not be possible.
