Devlog 2 - 0.3 and the Beta Branch
This Steam page hasn't gotten a post in a solid 4 months, which makes it look rather too abandoned, so here's a small update!
Development has been a bit slow, because we don't have money, and lack of income isn't very conducive to full time work. But 0.3 is still coming along! The reason there's not been patches is the same as the patch drought before 0.2; 0.3 reached the point where it's more difficult to make small patches to the main branch, so development's been focused on 0.3 instead.
So far 0.3 includes the fourth world, Tower of Law, tons of new skillcards, and a whole lot of other stuff. The current work-in-progress version of the 0.3 update is available to anyone who owns the game on the Beta branch (available in the Properties -> Betas menu for Gatedelvers in your Steam library), but do enter at your own risk; stuff is uploaded as we make it and that means things are unfinished, broken, missing graphics or sounds, and with placeholder music. If you're not in a hurry to see the new stuff, it'll get onto the main branch eventually, and probably in a much more finished state.
- Mag
0.2.10 - The Floor Is Magic
- Added Manafonts (name subject to change).
Manafonts are magical floor tiles that discount or power up spells you cast while standing on them.
Manafonts are only visible if you're holding a spell that can interact with them.
Fire, Ice, Air and Earth manafonts elementalize Astral spells, Empower spells of matching element and discount spells of the opposite element.
Astral manafonts discount all spells.
- Removed spell mana cost discounts on level up, except on Astral Spark which still discounts by 1. (The purpose of this was to allow casting of spells without mana; that job has been taken over by the Manafont system.)
- Area music now gets pitched down on death.
- Witnesses are now slightly smarter and will cancel their beam if they lose line of sight early during the charge-up.
- Fixed Witnesses spawning at 3 health despite having 5 max health.
- Old Digger is now less prone to forgetting he's in a fight and going back to mining after the rock rain attack.
- Removed Wet 3 stack cap for enemies.
- Frost Volley now has reduced spread.
- Frost Volley now has increased homing.
- Frost Volley projectiles per Empower increased from 1 -> 2.
- Frost Volley now has increased spread at higher Empower.
- Frost Volley projectiles now pass through already frozen enemies.
- Wind Blade's knockback now scales with Empower.
- Flamethrower's cone's size now scales with Empower.
- Halved the effectiveness of Fire/Ice boons on Astral Spark, now only applies stacks equal to half of the damage dealt.
- New unique enchantment for the Mop: Very Wet.
- Reworked Mop infusion, now has 100% chance but only applies Wet to enemies without elemental debuffs.
- Reduced Frost Volley infusion chill chance from 50% -> 25%.
- Increased Candle infusion burn chance from 25% -> 33%.
- Added an elite texture for Boulder Crab.
- Smoothed out Butterfly trail color and length changes.
- Chill stack indicator now visibly changes when applying another stack of Chill would instantly Freeze.
- Burn, Chill and Wet stack counts should now be properly visible for client players.
- Fixed Treasure Chests only dropping Epics and Legendaries. (Nobody reported this, which I suspect to be an intentional conspiracy.)
- Elusive state no longer dodges status-based damage, like burn or bloodshop prices. (zaprice)
- Added a 0.2 second "ability duration" to Powder Flask to prevent it from getting instantly emptied by hold inputs. (Cellestus)
- Fixed inconsistent Sun Gun infusion interaction with Flamethrower on client players.
- Fixed Mop Librarian hoverjump not working. (zaprice)
- Fixed Librarian being able to hover to clip into spike pits. (zaprice)
- Fixed throw cancel cancelling itself into input buffered use actions.

- Fixed Chest crystals not visibly freezing. (Monke the Rubble-Man)
- Fixed fog behaving oddly when entering the screen.
- Fixed Un-Infuser & Repair Station pedestals catching phantom items. (Monke the Rubble-Man)
- Probably fixed Brittlekeep roof wall geometry sometimes not generating properly for clients. (Scriblez)
- Hopefully fixed Whiskers sometimes permanently vanishing while in the Pit. (TheAncientGolem)
0.2.9b - The Ancient Hotfix
- Fixed Flamethrower projectiles being invisible to client players.
- Fixed gunfire being audible regardless of distance.
- Fixed pressing the hotkey for an inventory slot while already having that inventory slot active causing the item swap animation to play.
