Hello everyone, and welcome to the very first devlog for Delve Down Under! It's been an incredible journey so far, and I'm thrilled to announce that our latest update, Version 0.2.6, is now live on the Steam demo page!

This is a big one. It not only adds new content but also introduces foundational systems that will shape the future of the game, all based on great feedback and my goal to make the gunplay as satisfying as possible. Let's dive in!

---

First up, and probably the most important feature for new players, is the brand new tutorial! Your guide will walk you through the essential skills needed to survive the nightmarish apocalypse beneath Uluru: shooting, slashing, and of course, the all-important damage-immune charge.
This is a dedicated, multi-stage experience designed to get you up to speed on the core mechanics before you take the plunge.

---

This is a feature I'm personally very excited about as it adds a new layer of skill to combat. The old static spread system is gone! Now, every gun has a dynamic spread value that changes based on your actions, much like in modern FPS games.

Your accuracy will now be affected by:

• Movement: Running and gunning with a heavy LMG is now much less accurate than with an SMG. Stopping to take a shot makes a huge difference!

• Continuous Fire: The first shot from your weapon is the most accurate. As you hold down the trigger, the spread will increase, simulating recoil and making sustained fire harder to control. You'll need to manage your bursts to stay on target.

To help with this, I've also updated the mouse cursor! The crosshair will now dynamically expand and shrink to give you real-time feedback on your weapon's current accuracy.

---

Two new German firearms have been added to the arsenal! The priority on implementing playable guns in the game was previously very Australian and American centric, so I thought it was about time to give the German guns some love!

---

Behind the scenes, I've built an entirely new conversation and dialogue system. You'll see the first version of it in the tutorial with your guide. This system, with its typewriter text effect and dialogue choices, lays the groundwork for us to add much deeper story elements, quests, and character interactions in the future.Preview Event

This update also includes a host of smaller but important improvements:

• Implemented a Borderless Fullscreen display mode in the settings.

• Fixed a pesky bug that caused the default system cursor to occasionally reappear.

• The "Continue" button will now appear after you collect a key, making it clearer that you can proceed.

• The map button icon no longer looks like a slice of bread. You're welcome.

• Enemy health bars are now smaller and only appear for a couple of seconds when they take damage, reducing screen clutter.

• Reduced the intensity of several visual effects (camera shake, muzzle flashes, explosions, flashbangs) for a better and more comfortable user experience.

• The Reward Modal (which shows items you've picked up) now stays on screen longer and can be dismissed by clicking its close button.

I've received some fantastic feedback, including this gem:

"Currently it feels like I’m battling through a bunch of random squares rather than infiltrating a base.”

And you know what? They're right.

Creating an immersive experience in the depths of Uluru is important to me, and so the goal now is to move towards a level/map system more like you'd see in games like Enter the Gungeon, with more intelligently designed rooms, more interesting layouts, and a world that feels like a coherent (if twisted) place you are exploring. This is a huge undertaking, but it's essential for the future of the game.

Thank you all for your support, for playing the game, and for your invaluable feedback. It truly makes a world of difference.

Cheers, and happy delving!

Will, Viking Roo

• Fixed a bug where you sometimes would get stuck in credits scene after completing the game, sorry for the inconveniences!!!

We were aware that clicking felt a little pointless relatively early-on and given that clicking is the name of the game - we decided it needed some serious "beefing up!" Clicking has now been re-worked, increasing click amounts by each cursor upgrade purchased. This drives the need to put some focus into clicking for more than just the boosts received - and scales well with all Boosters and Prestige upgrades.

We also received reports of game instability from some players and traced it back to an FPS issue which we have resolved in this update as well - we hope that this update addresses the issues previously experienced and our players have a smooth journey ahead.

Thank you all for your support and the helpful discussion points - we aim to continue improving as much as possible!

----What's Next?---- Steam Achievement Implementation
We hope to have this setup and ready as soon as we can - this is our next priority.

Early Access Patch #15 (v0.2.5) contains further feature work to help prepare for Chapter 3. It adds the "Trait Compendium", allowing players to view detailed description of enemy traits in-game. It also allows players that have completed one of Aedma's Trials to use the associated blessing in the Main Quest (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and beyond).

• Blessings of Clairvoyance and Instinct can now be used when repeating Chapters 1&2.

• If you've completed at least one of Aedma's Trials, the option will be available when starting a new quest.

• A "Bestiary" section has been added to the main menu.

• The "Enemy Codex" is under construction and will arrive at a later date.

• The "Trait Compendium" is available now.

  • Encountering enemy traits in game will unlock their detailed descriptions and will be viewable in the compendium.

  • The compendium currently contains all of the enemy traits available up until Chapter 2.

• Note: Traits will have to be re-encountered in v0.2.5+ to unlock. (I added the tracking for enemies in v0.2.5, to avoid this inconvenience in the future for when the Enemy Codex is ready).

• The "Mageborne" enemy trait has been renamed to "Magicborne" for consistency.

• Removed a couple of instances where the "Confirm" sound effect would get cut off in combat, creating a "chirp" sound when playing the game at lower framerates.

• Delivering a glancing blow now plays a sound effect to provide better feedback.

• Various behind the scenes changes to support Chapter 3.
