D'LIRIUM News

It's been a while since the last update on Beta-1 or The Golden Rogue, our Patreon is dead and so is the activity on our Steam page. And the reason behind that is the development of the D'LIRIUM's new update being put on hold, as we told you before, due to the development of The Golden Rogue, which is being developed while surrounded in secrecy. And during the latest week we've made more progress than during the latest month!

Currently, The Golden Rogue is already looking like an almost finished product. The levels are all done and even though they are without a plot yet, they're fully passable. The most of the mechanics have been debugged and are ready. The levels are big and open. The game takes quite some time to pass, especially compared to the original D'LIRIUM. And that's where we've stummbled upon a big, or maybe even fatal problem. Even though the locations are so much better designed and drawn than in the original game, running through them and fighting the same enemies over and over is boring! We're absolutely sure that not adding a deversity of new enemies would make the game fail. That's why we offer our community to try and take a part in the game's development. The details will be in an announcement tomorrow.

Now, let's talk a bit about the reason we're posting this for. The development of The Golden Rogue will be put on hold for the period of three months due to me going abroad for the whole Winter. For the same reason, the original D'LIRIUM will not contain any Christmas or New Year updates. That doesn't mean I won't be working on the game at all, but any significant progress is not to be expected until the end of Winter. We'll try and release the game before Easter. But you'll have to be patient.

So, such is our uncertain piece of news for today. Don't beat us up, please. Everything will be back to normal when I return. Finishing The Golden Rogue in time will be my main priority.

For the last few days I've been asked by the people who keep a close eye on the game development: why has there been no special update for Halloween? I'll try to give you a short and simple answer, so noone is left wondering.

Originally, there's been a plan to release a small update that would change the main menu screen and add a Halloween-themed level. But I simply haven't had enough time for making that small idea come to life. That's because our resources are focused on the development of the Golden Rogue in order to be able to release it before the year ends. Moreover, in the new version of D' there are a few features from Beta-1 that is just not ready to be released yet.

So, my friends, you have to be patient. Quite soon the things will get really cool. And it doesn't matter that there's no Halloween event - there will be plenty eventually!

Finally, here's time to show you all our new game. Here's a first gameplay trailer of The Golden Rogue - a prequel of D'LIRIUM. Actually, this trailer was made hastily, but it's enough to show you, how things are working here. We're withheld some features in this trailer, and you will get a lot of new experience by playing. But anyway, the game’s design is more than clear. The Golden Rogue page will appear soon in the Steam store and every interested player can add this game to the wishlist. Thanks to everyone who supports us! So, here's the trailer:

We've met a lot of people since then. Some of them have fallen in love with our game, some just played and forgot about it, and some have become the true fans!

During the year of being in Steam, the game has changed quite a bit and keeps changing. Once a primitive 2D-shooter, it has gained the new ideas, new features and a whole community! To honour this day, we have compiled and uploaded all of the most important builds that will allow you to see how the game has been changing from the very first build of 2012 to alpha-12, after while D'LIRIUM had been finally moved to Game Maker Studio 2 engine, on which it keeps running to this day!

You can now enter the game's properties on Steam and choose to play any builds in the "Beta-version" section, to compare and check out each of them. We'll be waiting for your comments! D'LIRIUM keeps getting better only thanks to you guys! Thanks you so much!

We would also like to thank each person who supports us on Patreon! Thanks to all of you! Your money is not always spent on drinks!
