I went from working by myself in my spare time, to now working alongside a team of 3 other full-time passionate and dedicated individuals to make the best experience possible.

- Progress update on the Offline Client - Crossplay & Mobile - 22 January 2025
Hello everyone! I thought it would be a good idea to provide an update on the progress of the Offline Client since we released it into Beta on Steam two months ago. Crossplay Compatibility In our Steam Beta announcement, we mentioned that content purchased on one platform (e.g., Steam) wouldn’t be accessible offline on another platform (e.g., Mobile). Based on your feedback, we’ve worked on a solution to address this. I'm happy to say we are implementing a system that caches and validates your purchases for up to 30 days while offline. This timer resets each time you load the game with an internet connection. This feature is the main reason the Offline Client hasn’t been fully released yet. We’re actively working on it and aim to have it ready for further testing and release in the coming weeks. Mobile Progress Development of the Android and iOS Offline Client is nearly complete—about 9…
- Offline Client now available for Beta testing - 19 November 2024
The Offline Client is now available for public Beta testing. This brings full offline functionality to Melvor Idle, allowing you to play the game without an internet connection. It is available to test on Windows, MacOS and Linux (including Steam Deck). How to access You can access the Beta test on Steam by using the Beta code offlineStage2. Your saves are shared between the Live game and the Offline client. There are no actual changes to the game itself as it runs the existing Live version, just with offline functionality. Important information about the Offline Client There's a few important considerations to take note of. 1) You must first load the game once with an internet connection (Up to the character select screen). This will automatically download and save the remaining requires files needed to function that were not bundled with Steam itself. This occurs silently in the backg…

- Update Preview - v1.3.1 - New Realm Select, Bank Filters, ItA Balancing and more - 29 August 2024
Hello everyone! It’s been a minute since I’ve provided an update on what we’re working on behind the scenes, so I thought now would be a good chance to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming v1.3.1 update (no ETA yet). This update primarily focuses on Into the Abyss and addressing feedback we’ve received around it. Important Notes 98% of these changes relate to the Into the Abyss Expansion. This update is not yet released, and there’s no ETA just yet. Once balancing and translations are finalised, we will release it. I'd also like to release the Offline Client - Stage 2 at the same time as this update, so hopefully everything aligns and I can get everything out in one go. The changes are not final, as we still have general balance changes and fixes to implement. You can play the Beta of this update at https://melvoridle.com/beta/ It uses different saves, so just log into your Cloud accou…
- Game Update - 15 August 2024 - 15 August 2024
= Into the Abyss only = Atlas of Discovery only = Throne of the Herald only Update on Offline Client - Stage 2 We're still working on Stage 2 of the Offline Client which brings full offline functionality to the Desktop Clients (Stage 3 is Mobile). It's quite the task to undertake, but we're making good progress on it. Stage 2 required us to completely rewrite how the game loads in order to achieve full offline functionality. It's a bunch of stuff you'll never notice or see when we actually release the update, but its something we have to do to make it work. Stage 2 is probably the stage that takes the most amount of time. After we release it, we hope it won't be too much effort to bring it directly to Mobile as well. Game Update This update mostly focuses on fixing a lot of the outstanding bug reports and issues that have been present in the game. New Add passive cooking interval source…

Removed Chicken Soup requirement from ItA cooking recipes in favour of Abyssal Allotment items. Fixed Fixed many inconsistencies with Defence values on ItA equipment.
