A downloadable game

Delve is a hobby RPG I have been working on for fun. Direct inspirations include nethack, various flavours of Angband, brogue, and honestly whatever I happen to be playing, watching or reading while working on it...

Notes for 0.3.x

Delve 0.3 contains some imho exciting new features like:

  • should run on most Macs now
  • won't crash on European computers
  • Quite a more more content, including the beginnings of a spell casting system
  • More dungeon levels!

0.3.3 contains more bug fixes and UI polish!

0.3.2 fixes a number of bugs both major and minor and adds some UI polish. In particular, there is onscreen help for many of the actions which require targeting (the examine command, shooting a bow or wand, etc). You can now bump to chat with friendly NPCs without having to go through the Chat command.

At the moment this is still a very early release. The main dungeon only extends a few levels deep and much content is still to be added to the game. But I would love some early feedback on how it plays and the direction it's going in so far.

If you have played nethack or Angband, you should find it fairly familiar but there is also a brief tutorial to help you learn the basics of the game's commands.

Delve is an open source game released under the Creative Commons CC0 license. It's source code is available here on GitHub.

There are builds for Windows and macOS (ARM and Intel). I believe it should build and run with only a little modification on linux if you have the dotnet development tools installed.

Amazingly fun roguelike game! I really appreciate Dana uploading the code to GitHub. I am just learning C#, and working on a text-based console game, and seeing this code will really help me work through my own designs. A++. All the cookies. Thanks again. :)

Hey thanks!!

As it happens, later today I should be uploading 0.3.0 which has a fair bit of new stuff in it and a lot of bug fixes. (And probably new bugs)

For those interested, game works on linux using Proton.

Oh thanks!
