Delver News

Hey all! I just wanted to let everyone here know that the 1.0 update for Delver is going to drop soon, just days away on February 1st.

This has been a long time coming, and we're really excited to get this in your hands. We've managed to fit a ton of fun stuff into it that we've wanted to add for a long time, including some much asked for quality of life improvements. We're really proud of the game that we've created, a game that you've all been a part of in supporting us through our time in early access. We quite literally wouldn't have been able to do it without you all.

In preparation for the release the price for Delver will be going up soon - up to $14.99. Grab it now if you haven't already if you want in at the lower price!

Good news everyone! Joshua and I have been working hard lately on adding Steam Workshop support to Delver, a feature that we have been looking forward to having for a long time. This is an important feature, as our awesome community can now easily share their additions to Delver and help make the game bigger and better or even help translate the game for their language.

Along with this update, we're opening up our Steam Workshop to everyone. We've already added some example mods ourselves (with source code available, if you want to see how we made them!) alongside some mods from our community members that are all available to play right now. Go check it out!

To play a mod, just subscribe to it via our Workshop page. Steam will then download the mod for you, and the next time you open up Delver it will add it into the game.

Sup Delverers. The weather is getting colder, and I'm drinking eggnog which can only mean one thing: it's Delver Update Time. We have been busy with all kinds of fun additions lately, mainly focusing on upping our ranged attack game. Wands have been given some love to differentiate them all, and archers get a whole new revamped arrow physics system that is super accurate, and a whole toolbox of new bows to find.

There's some other fun stuff in there as well, including a boatload of new weapon and armor enchantments, a durability system, and some hidden stuff. Consider it our holiday gift to you, our favorite fans.

Changes

• Arrows shot into mobs have a chance of being dropped on death
  
• Arrows have a chance of breaking on hit

• A whole heap of new bows, differentiated by range. damage, and speed
  
• Magic missile wand now lets loose a volley of rapid missile attacks

• Magic weapons have a chance of being unidentified
  
• Added identify scrolls
  
• Added 'Enchant Armor' and 'Enchant Weapon' scrolls

• Magic missiles can be knocked back with a melee attack
  
• Graphical updates for the Ice and Storm wands
  
• Start area gained a happy little waterfall
  
• New particle effects - things kick up dust now
  
• Status effect animations for poison / being on fire / being paralyzed

Bug Fixes

• Bug fix - mobs no longer climb up onto eachother / the player
  
• Bug fix - fixed decal drawing, doubled number of decals that can appear
