Update v1.08 - Fireflies Fix Howdy folks! Turns out the fireflies are charming little critters that when angry will destroy the world.

TL;DR The hang on launch some folks have been getting has been fixed.

- Update v1.05 - Maintenance update - 18 September 2020
Hey everyone! The Delver release was pretty tiring, but I think we've finally... TWO YEARS?! It's been two years since release? Geez.

Fix for platform discrepancies for setting cursor position in editor.…
- Have you played Delver? - 23 October 2018
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Delver marries the first-person simplicity of Doom and the randomness of the roguelike in such an admirably straightforward way that I m sorry it doesn t get more praise. I ve championed it before as a cheap n cheerful adventure that ll keep you occupied for a few afternoons. It s a forgettable game, but only because it s so unassuming. That s what I like about it. It sets out to do one thing: spritey, twitchy dungeon diving. And it does that without complaint or distraction. (more…)
- Update 1.04 - Bugfixes and more modding support - 30 March 2018
Hey everyone! I've been working on supporting the mod community lately so this update mainly includes bugfixes, performance optimizations, and opening up new features to modding. There are some people working on crazy awesome mods and I'd like to support them as much as I can, hence a lot of these changes which were based on community suggestions. Watch the workshop, because some neat stuff will be coming soon! (There's even a jumping mod out there lately!) Gameplay Changes: Added a levitate scroll. Cursed items no longer sell for negative gold. Bugfixes: Fixed cases where the game could crash on level load. Clearing more memory on level transitions. Fixed strange flickering artifacts on edges of fire / dust. More assets are loaded as needed now, instead of up-front. Game starts at a bit lower resolution in windowed mode. Jumping works at high framerates now. Put a max cap on the number…

- Update 1.03 - Smarter monsters, more bugfixes! - 9 March 2018
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…

- Bugfix update 1.02 - 18 February 2018
Hey Delvers! We just pushed a new bugfix update based on feedback we've been getting from our awesome community. This update is mostly focused on fixing bugs, but there are also some extra changes aimed at balancing the endgame, and making the game easier to mod. For speedrunners: playtime is now a tracked stat that will display both at a savegame and run level to make tracking easier. We can't wait to see your crazy runs! For modders: you can now give shaders custom textures and levels can now easily override their textures via a new `textureAtlasOverrides` list. Drop by the Unofficial Delver Discord for more information! Give this update a shot, and as always let us know what you think of these changes. Bug Fixes Fixed a savegame loading issue that could occur after picking up the Orb. Collision tweaks for arrows to fix cases where fast moving arrows wouldn't connect sometimes. Fixed…

- Dungeon-diving Delver done and dusted declares dev - 2 February 2018
The dungeon crawling and doddering daggers of sprite-filled roguelite Delver is good and pure , if you believe my early access impressions. So it s a happy day for all you I ll wait until it s finished types. Delver has left early access and is considered complete by its developers, Priority Interrupt. They ve also doubled the price on Steam, now that it s done. It used to be about a fiver in British quids, but now it s over a tenner (a change from $7.99 to $14.99 for US folks). My instinct when this happens is always “ugh!” But on reflection, no, it’s fine. (more…)

- Update #14 - Modding and Steam Workshop Support - 4 April 2017
http://i.imgur.com/ECApHhM.gif 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. Some Mods to try Guns for Delver…
