Update v1.08 - Fireflies Fix Howdy folks! Turns out the fireflies are charming little critters that when angry will destroy the world. Turns out that the hang on launch some players are experiencing is due to the fireflies on the splash screen speeding up to extremely high levels of velocity and zipping off into infinity.

Update v1.07 - Keybinds Hotfix Hey folks! Turns out the last update broke the loading of custom keybinds for many players. This hotfix corrects that. A big thanks to all the players who let us know this was broken and to our community members who helped test the fix. TLDR Q. Does this have any gameplay changes? A. Nope. It only addresses the keybinding issue. Bugfixes:

• Saved keybinds correctly load on launch of game.

It's Delver update time again! Since last time we've completely rewritten our monster pathfinding system to make them smarter, and we've been getting a TON of good feedback from modders on what would be useful for them so there has been work on opening up more of the game to customization. The new monster pathfinding system is super exciting, monsters will be more able to chase the player in areas like the sewers and ruins with small objects that need to be navigated around, and they've also learned how to navigate bridges and beams as well opening up more support in terms of levels that can be designed. We've also been watching the support and bugfix threads, there are bugfixes aimed at issues we've been seeing in them as well. Thanks for pointing out the bugs that you see! And now, onto the changes: Changes

• Brand new pathfinding system, monsters should be much smarter about getting to the player especially in places like the Sewers.
• Monsters that fall in pits no longer leave corpses or spawn loot.
• Mod file loading errors are written to the errorlog.txt file now.
• Monsters can use spells and projectiles now
• Conditional triggers can be used for counting in a new 'Increment when Triggered' mode
• Food items have more exposed properties to modders now
• Adjusted some scroll costs
• Tweaks in the Lost City area to blend better with the caves and sewers
• Something secret for bunnies and modders

• Fixed a generation bug in the sewers where bars in water could trap players behind them
• Fixed some strange glowing areas near pits in the caves
• The Forgotten no longer has a chance to dissapear again when thrown
• Fixed how secret areas are tracked for an achievement
• Fixed some cases where monsters and items wouldn't cause a splash when falling in water
• Reduced player splash volume
• Weapons honor the yOffset property now
• Fixes for a rare level loading crash
• Player footsteps will play when walking on bridges now
• Some more performance tweaking related to memory usage
• Spawned item spawners will spawn items now

Welcome to another Delver update! We're back after a hiatus (more on that below) with one of our biggest updates. This time we've added a new dungeon section, the Temple, that expands the game with two new dungeon floors full of undead horrors and nasty traps. If you survive that, you might find even more changes... Along with that, we've also worked on making Delver even better with improved water effects, a bunch of bug fixes, a new randomized trap system, a totally revamped death screen, and potion grenades. Did we mention potion grenades? Changes

• New dungeon area, the Temple!
• Boss area update
• Mouse wheel can be used to switch between hotbar items
• Better win / death screens.
• Potions can now be thrown when held
• Added water trim effects
• Fixed more cases where the player can get stuck while teleporting
• Juiced up magic particle effects
• Removed last vestiges of the cursor mode
• New splash particle effect
• Spikes are now 100% more metal
• Crusher traps to turn players into paste
• Collapsing floors
• Tweak to improve clipping plane issue with high FOVs
• Probably other stuff we've forgotten

In our efforts to make a polish pass for every single area of the game on our march towards release, we've gone back and made some big overhauls to the sewer floors, possibly the weakest part of the game in the past. Now after our overhaul it's home to some of the most interesting level design and architecture in the game, we hope you enjoy it! In addition to that we've spent some time polishing up some menus, fixing some bugs, and then adding some extra stuff just for fun... Change log

• Revamped sewer area!
• New sewer procedural room generator!
• Updated main menu
• Game now tracks number of wins / deaths
• Added a fancy death animation for the player
• Ice wands are a bit more useful now...
• Ladders!
• Bugfix - dungeon room generator should no longer attach hallways to windows

It's Delver update time again, and this one is a good tease for things yet to come. You might find a few new places on your way to find the Orb, and the caverns are starting to shift and change as we expand our random level generation from the last update to them as well. To finish things off, there's also the inclusion of some new music from our friend Derris-Kharlan to accompany you on your way back to the surface, if you happen to survive long enough to enjoy it. He's done more great work, and we're super proud to have it in game! Features

• Fully procedurally generated cave rooms.
• Dungeon generator knows how to make ramps now.
• Updated dungeon generator with some more placeable prefabs.
• New chase music tracks.
• Transitional shop area added between the dungeon and cave areas.
• Strange, it's starting to get cold down there...

It's time for another Delver update, and this is a fun one! Our dungeon generation so far has worked by piecing together hand built level chunks, which has gotten us a long way and let us make spaces that are fun to explore. That also means that you may see the same areas repeat themselves between playthroughs which can be not so fun over time. This update includes our work making a full procedural dungeon generator. This system lets the game create rooms from scratch when you play instead of relying on us to hand build everything. This means we can let the game make spaces to explore, but still let us mix in our hand built pieces to make really unique places - the best of both worlds! We built the rules to create these new dungeon rooms, but what comes out of the other side can still be truly exciting. Take some screenshots when you see an interesting place, because you may be the only person to ever see it :D To finish things off, we've been working with the super talented Derris-Kharlan to add more tunes to the dungeon. We think they're great, and he's been a pleasure to work with so far. Check out more of his stuff on Soundcloud. Features

• New dungeon room generator used in dungeon floors 1 & 2 to start with
• Some new music, and random track picker system
• More stuff, for you to find on your own

• Shooting a wand on a moving platform no longer teleports you to the floor below

After a long, but hopefully worthwhile, absence while we were digging around in the guts of Delver, we're back with some great new stuff under the hood to make modding more of a primary engine feature and includes a revamp of the level editor to make it much easier to use. I mean, look how pretty the editor is now:

Mod Merging!

Features!

• Many mods active at the same time.
• Revamped level editor!
• Spike traps, and spike pits.
• New puzzle dungeon tiles.
• Flies have found the dungeon a good place to hang out.

A small bugfix update just went live, it fixes issues with arrows not always hitting mobs when shot from a bow. As a fun addition, via popular demand here on the forums, it also adds a new Field of View slider to the Options menu. Thanks for letting us know about these issues!

The September update of Delver is here, just in the nick of time. This is a fun update for us, since we had the chance to work with the awesome character artist Hunter Russel to redo all of our monster animations and the results shine. We also updated to the latest version of the libGdx engine, fixed some collision issues that were causing people to get stuck in the mines, and got in some decent performance fixes that should stop the hitching some people have been experiencing. There's also a super fancy new menu background, to replace the boring image that was there before. Features

• Redid ALL monster animations
• Monsters leave corpses now
• Some new NPC animations
• Bats have a lunge attack now
• The druid and worm monsters have jumping attacks
• Mages now have a windup before their magic attacks to give themselves away
• Fancy in engine menu background
• Player starts with some gold now, instead of 0
• Player and mobs can no longer stand on eachother
• Overlay text is now smaller by default

• Redid the stepping up physics code, should no longer get stuck in small spaces or step up onto columns
• Showing a win message instead of 'Dead' after finishing the game on the main menu now
• Fixed dragging and dropping items from the inventory not throwing them as expected always

This bugfix update has the latest version of the editor, with the following changes:

• Full support for custom spritesheets, sprite entities can now pick any sheet defined in the data/spritesheets.dat file.
• Can now open some dungeon tiles from Update 6 that couldn't be opened previously

The latest update made the dungeons quite a bit darker for most people, this latest bugfix update is to bring the light levels back up to where they were before.

We've been busy here at the Delver HQ putting together this new update, and I'm happy to announce that it's available right now! The main focus for this update was to start making use of the offhand item slot and to that end we've added shields, held light sources, and added support in for two handed items. Alongside that work, Joshua started on adding clutter items to fill out the dungeons more and to make things look more lived in. On the dungeon generator side, there is a new unique dungeon area feature that keeps track of what dungeon chunks have been spawned during a run, and let specially marked areas spawn only once. This system will allow us to make more interesting special event or puzzle areas, and we've added a couple of these as a test of the system. Lastly, some armor has speed modifiers now so that an adventurer loaded up with full plate mail and a kite shield doesn't move as fast as one wearing leather armor, this is a baby step toward more interesting player choices regarding armor. Features

• Shields as offhand items
• Two handed weapons
• Speed modifiers for Armor (plate mail is slower than leather)
• Held light sources like candles and lanterns
• Junk clutter items spread throughout the dungeon
• Tiny chance for monsters and boxes to drop junk loot
• New special dungeon areas
• A shadowy figure

This latest update to Delver fixes some collision issues, players were getting stuck in some parts of our new caves and this aims to fix those issues. Let us know if you still have issues! Changelist

• FIxed some cases where players and mosters could climb into small areas, but not out of them
• Fix for players getting stuck in static meshes when stepping up onto more than one
• Fixed an issue where Movers wouldn't properly fire their triggers when placed by the dungeon generator

A wild update appeared! This has a little bit of everything: the first version of our story system, caves have gotten a complete overhaul, much better traps, a live preview mode for the map editor, and a whole slough of engine updates and bug fixes to finish things off. Like always let us know if you encounter any issues, enjoy! Features

• Out with the old caves, in with the new caves
• Traps are physical objects now
• Story notes will be spawned inside the dungeon now
• Added a lowercase font
• Engine support for movers now, like elevators and buttons
• The editor has a live preview mode now, no more leaving the editor to test something out

We've been hard at work on Delver lately, and things are now stable enough to put out as a proper update. This update includes a ton of new dungeon areas, a new lighting model, lots of bug fixes, exploding potions, and some editor improvements to boot. New Features

Our work from November is now available, just in time for the holidays. This update includes a bunch of things aimed at improving the game 'feel', and to that end we've added new combat animations, new blunt weapons like maces and hammers, added some screen shake to spice things up, and added sounds to the flying skull and druid monsters. We also took a big step towards full gamepad support. XBox 360 controllers should work out of the box now, Dual Shock also should be well supported, your mileage will vary with other controllers. The sewers also got a few more dungeon areas aimed at opening up the battlegrounds a bit to keep things from getting too claustrophobic. Shop prices also got some significant tweaks, most prices doubled and the skill in a jar jumped way up in price to 250 gold to reflect better the impact it has on a run. New features

Delver is Now Available on Steam in Early Access.

Delver is a first person action roguelike dungeon crawl with crunchy pixels.

Take the role of an adventurer that tries their fate in the dark dungeons (and probably dies horribly). Fight monsters, grab loot, horde potions, and level up!
Quest for the Yithidian orb at the darkest depths of the dungeon and attempt to bring it back to the surface - getting to it may be the easy part.
Levels are randomly generated in each playthrough so you'll never know quite what's around the corner.
