New players, old players and those yet to take the plunge into the world of Diluvian Ultra alike, hear me!

Me and the team (3 of us in total) just want to say that for about three weeks now we have watched you play, listened to feedback and noted down issues and pesky bugs.

It has been great fun, exciting and terrifying, watching you all take our game for a spin, and very enlightening. But this is just the beginning. In the coming weeks you will see updates, with us improving features, squashing bugs and evolving Diluvian Ultra into the best FPS we can dream up. After all, that is why me, Stagnation and Quandini got into this to begin with.

If you'd like to be a part of this journey and help shape the evolution of Diluvian Ultra, we are very approachable and the easiest way is to join our DISCORD.

And if you would leave a quick review here on Steam, it would help us a lot!

I can also say that soon we are going to start showing off sneak peeks of Chapter 2 - The Path of the Traitor. More story, more guns, more enemies and more levels. Actually, let's give you a first little glimpse right now, shall we?

Have you wondered how the other Diluvians except Atilla, our main character, spend their time? Well, the time will soon come to journey through the Valley of the Kings where the palaces of the Diluvian Princes dot the landscape.



There are scores to settle for Atilla and his Squire Bella. I hope you will want to tag along.

If you have not already, jump on in and get introduced to Atilla and his world. Smashing robots and firing off bug weapons is always a good time, wouldn't you agree?

For those of you that are already familiar with Diluvian Ultra, feel free to come talk to us. We don't bite.

Me (StraitCurrent), Stagnation and Quandini want to thank you all and hope you will follow along as Diluvian Ultra grows and evolves.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Here we are with the first patch for Diluvian Ultra Chapter One - It is filled with fixes and changes you have been asking for. The full list of changes and fixes is below, but most notable are changes to the audio of enemy barks, fixing many controller issues and improvements to the flow of texts.

We are aware that not all reported issues have been fixed, but we decided that publishing an incremental improvement is better than having you wait until everything is done.

There are two issues specifically that we are working on fixing as soon as possible, but can already be somewhat remedied if you encounter them:

• There is a bug that can sometimes corrupt a Waystone save and cause you to lose all weapons when you die and respawn. Going to the menu and selecting "restart level" should restore your arsenal, albeit losing the progress you've made in that particular level of course. The bug is difficult to replicate however, and while this worked for us, we cannot guarantee it will work every time - please let us know here in the comments, in Steam discussions or on our Discord server if you encounter this issue and whether restarting the level solved it for you or not. The more details we have, the easier it will be for us to squash the bug!
  
• If you start a game and cannot move and in general it seems unresponsive to any keyboard commands, make sure you don't have a controller plugged in or wirelessly connected - currently it disables the keyboard and "takes over".
  

If there is something else you want us to focus on, please, leave your feedback here on Steam or join our Discord server where you can chat with us directly!

And if you're enjoying Diluvian Ultra Chapter One, we would be incredibly happy if you wrote a review of it here on Steam, it really does help a lot!
