- To Hunters and Survivors And The Deliria Community - 19 January 2024
Hey Survivors and Hunters, It's been a while... Unfortunately I do not come bearing great news. It is with a heavy heart that I need to share some unfortunate news about the future of Deliria. After an incredible journey encompassing two open Betas and nearly a year in Early Access, I have arrived at the difficult decision to retire Deliria for now. With this I want to take a moment to shed light on the reasoning behind this challenging choice. In my pursuit of innovation and creating a fun and unique experience for horror genre fans I have hit a bit of a brick wall due to having not achieved the commercial success necessary to sustain the game's on-going development at this time. My gratitude knows no bounds for the incredible community that has gathered around Deliria, whether it's here on Steam, Discord or TikTok. I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every…
- Patch 2.24 - The Phantom - 13 May 2023
A major update that adds a new Hunter to the roster along with on-going changes and bug fixes. Patch Notes New Content: Introducing The Phantom, a brand new Hunter has been added for all Players to take advantage of. The Phantoms kit primarily focuses on a stealth and deception, utilizing her abilities will give Players a chance to cause disruption and make kills off of the confusion that ensues. Here's a breakdown her new abilities here: Doppelgänger - Allows The Phantom to create a exact duplicate of herself that after a short activation delay runs forward in a straight line. The Doppelgänger is active for 6.5 seconds until it is destroyed. The Doppelgänger also carries with it the Hunters ambience track making it very hard to distinguish from the actual Hunter. The Doppelgänger by Survivors with a camera stun, however, doing so will result in any Survivors in the affected area to be…

Let's start with the most exciting news: Upcoming content In Update 2.24 Deliria will officially get it's first post-launch new Hunter: The Phantom. I won't divulge too much in this post but the new Hunter's kit is all based around stealth and deception, allowing the Hunter to get the jump on any unaware survivors and causing chaos with a new disruption ability. To give you a little insight into the character behind The Phantom, her official description is as follows: The Phantom was a recluse who watched horror movies to study the tactics of the killers. She believed she could do a better job than any of them and her mind twisted as she plotted her next move. Her custom-made Halloween mask struck fear into the hearts of those who saw i…

Hey Survivors and Hunters, Let me take a moment to breathe and express my excitement that we've finally made it. After 4-5 years of developing Deliria from the ground up, my first ever independent horror game is launching on Steam, and I couldn't be happier. Deliria began as a passion project for me to learn the ins and outs of game development, but thanks to all of your love and support, it has flourished into a fully-fledged indie horror game. I want to take a moment to thank you all, not only for reading this but for giving me a chance to entertain you with a smaller scale multiplayer horror game ː8bitheartː. With that out of the way, let's talk more about Deliria's launch on the 22nd of February! The Early-Access launch Deliria has been a work in progress for some time, but I finally feel like I'm ready to share it with you all. To give me the time I need to continue to develop and…
- Free Weekend 10th -12th of Feb - 7 February 2023
Hey Survivors, Let me start this post by saying what a thrilling ride this has been. The constant attention and support you have all been showing Deliria since the new year has been nothing short of amazing. You all constantly inspire me to keep pushing forward with my goals for Deliria and I cannot thank each and every one of you enough. With that being said, let's get to the reason you clicked on this post, the free weekend! The Free Weekend It's no secret at this point that I've been working on Deliria for a while, and I'm nervous to of course put the game out there, it's important that I swallow my fears and let all of you play and give me the feedback I desperately need. Starting February 10th, Deliria will be free to play for all, this will be running until February 12th when the testing/free weekend comes to a close. The goal of this free weekend is to get Deliria into as many pe…
- Happy Holidays & What's new for 2023? - 23 December 2022
Greetings, Survivors and Hunters! Firstly, let me start by saying what a tremendous year 2023 has been for Deliria as a whole. We started the community Discord server that you can join here, successfully launched Deliria's first ever open BETA and got some incredibly valuable feedback from the community. I also want to wish each and every one of you a relaxing and prosperous happy holidays! I could not ask for a better group of people supporting myself, the development and Deliria as a whole. With all of that out of the way, let's dig into some of the questions I keep seeing pop up from time to time: When is Deliria launching into Early-Access? Lets get the most requested question out of the way first. With the current rate of Development and in it's current state, I'm of the belief that Deliria can launch into Early-Access during Q1 of 2023. I don't have a specific date in mind just ye…
- DELIRIA's Satisfaction Survey - 1 November 2022
Hey Survivors, What a week! Where do I begin? Deliria's BETA amassed a total of over 500 players willing to try my small indie game out! I'm blown away by the amount of support you all have shown Deliria over this last week and I cannot wait to keep improving on the experience as a whole. So what's next? As stated previously my goal is to get Deliria into Early-Access sooner rather than later but I have a few things that need to be addressed before I can get there. So far, there's been a handful of bugs that I have already fixed but there's still more to do. My focus is going to be tweaking the gameplay until it's to a standard I am happy with, and to address concerns/bugs that members of the community have brought to my attention. There may be another BETA down the line but it really depends on the results of this Satisfaction Survey. I want to hear your feedback! As mentioned in the t…

- DELIRIA's BETA & More news - 10 September 2022
Hey Survivors, I hope you are all keeping safe and are in good health! It's been a long time since I posted an update about Deliria's development here on Steam. I'm pleased to say that Deliria is coming along nicely and I'm now at the "end-game" stage of development. In short, my main focus is now optimization and bug fixes! My gut feeling is telling me that Deliria is getting to the point where I need to share it with the wider community to gain more valuable feedback. So, what does this mean? I'll be launching a Deliria BETA/Playtest in the coming weeks that will be accessible to all Steam users. All you will need to do is request access via Deliria's Steam Page. There should be a giant green button that looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/KDsMSzZ.png Just click on request access and you'll be signed up! The plan is to slowly allow people access to Deliria randomly, then once the gam…
