Delve Deeper
We Are Not Making Dwarven Delve.
We are synonymous with Delve Deeper.
That game, which we released in September 2010 introduced players to our take on the incredibly lucrative dwarves-in-tunnels genre. It’s been critically well-received and we’ve developed a loyal fan base around it. While we certainly don’t own the patent on dwarf games, Delve Deeper is what we are known for.
If you haven’t played it, it’s a turn-based adventure/strategy game where you build tunnels on rotating hex tiles, collect treasure, fight monsters, and try to trap and otherwise foil your opponents’ plans to do some sweet, sweet looting.
That being said, there has been some confusion regarding our game and an upcoming title from fellow indie Tinkerhouse Games: Dwarven Delve. It’s a game that “challenges you to race through a dungeon layout that you’re constantly changing on the fly. And when that layout changes, the way monsters and traps behave change with it.”
Dwarven Delve:
Understandably, people have been asking us whether we’re involved or if it is in fact Delve Deeper 2. The answer to both these questions is no, and we felt it was not only appropriate but necessary to let you guys know that publicly. There have been questions popping up on Dwarven Delve’s Steam page, about what our involvement is, and, again, the answer is none.
Believe us, when we have another game or sequel coming — you guys will know and you will hear it from us firsthand.
But given that Dwarven Delve has just launched its second Kickstarter, we wanted to use this as an opportunity to clarify from our end. We also wanted to use this as an opportunity to let it be known we are aware of this confusion, and from our conversations with them, it seems unlikely that Tinkerhouse will move to rectify it by changing its game’s name as we’ve requested.
So, again, for the record: We have no involvement with Dwarven Delve.

Lunar Giant and The Amiable AMA for Tetrapulse
Lunar Giant Publishing Tetrapulse!
Tetrapulse is a two- to four-player, single-screen co-op game where players battle invading robo-bugs using the only ammunition they have left: their life-force. Every shot drains health as players work together to protect the Heartstone, an ancient battery that recharges players. To succeed players must work together to move the Heartstone, outsmart enemies, and protect their teammates.
They’re currently doing a Kickstarter to raise funds to finish development. Check it out on Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/575525637/tetrapulse. The campaign ends Sept. 24.
Additional details and screenshots are available at http://www.tetrapulse.com/.

Delve Deeper Fan-Made DLC Contest
Free DLC Idea
We’ve been tossing around the idea at Lunar giant of offering up free Delve Deeper DLC made by fans. Basically, it’ll work like this:
We’ll set up a website with some loose criteria for what a map or relic should consist of, and hold a competition where fans can let their imaginations run wild with their creations! Winners of the competition will receive free stuff from us (we haven’t decided what that would be yet, but rest assured, it’ll be awesome).
What we’d like to know from you is if you find this idea compelling enough to participate in. Also, we’d like to know what kind of free stuff/swag would get you interested in participating.
Please leave a comment on this post, RT to anyone you think would be interested, etc. If we get enough interest, we’ll move forward with this.
Delve Deeper DLC "Treasures and Tunnels" Avaialable for Purchase on Steam!
