Dread Delusion News

Thank you again to each and every one of you who made Dread Delusion’s early access a success! Your enthusiasm and feedback have been essential to helping create the final version of the game, and everyone at both Lovely Hellplace and DreadXP are eternally appreciative of each one of you who has taken this journey along with us.

Speaking of the final version of the game... May 14th. That's right, 1.0 is almost here.

With the game is leaving Early Access, there is also going to be a big update that goes live at launch. This includes some much-requested changes, the ability to finally (finally) complete a playthrough (with an ending!), new mechanics, and even more that we can share when the game comes out!

We look forward to players both seasoned and new getting their hands on the full version of the game soon, the road here has been long and fruitful but this marks not the end of this journey... but a new beginning.

Until then fellow Delusionites...


P.S.
Also you can get an airship. You can upgrade them. It's awesome.

Hello fellow Delusionites,

We want to take a moment to thank our players for their constant support throughout early access. There is exciting news we would like to share regarding the development of Dread Delusion!

As we inch closer to the full release of the game, and with the team hard at work making sure everything is ready, as a result, barring any major bugs, this will be the last hotfix until the 1.0 release. More information, including the release date of 1.0, will be coming soon.

Please note that save data will be wiped come 1.0’s release. (Well, not technically wiped, your old save data will be preserved, but the game will use a new set of files for save data tracking. If you’d like to use your older save files when 1.0 hits, all you’d need to do is overwrite the new file slot with the old one. There’s a high chance that this may cause issues with your save, but we wanted to leave that option available for players).

We also wanted to leave our players with a preview of the dangers that they will face in the Underlands come 1.0:

If you can believe skeletons exist, then you better believe that cloud saves now exist within the world of Dread Delusion!



Now your save can go with either between different PCs or that nifty Steam Deck and your PC. What I'm saying is now you can play Dread Delusion anywhere!

And as always, please post any issues you come across or feedback you may have in the Discussion Forums.

Dread Delusion is one of the games I'm most excited for: a lo-fi, indie take on a Morrowind-style weird fantasy world, the medieval societies clinging to a field of asteroids slowly orbiting a small red star. That world just got a little bit weirder thanks to the addition of Dread Delusion's first new major region since launch, the Clockwork Kingdom...
