Preview:




Dwelvers alpha v0.9d has now been released and are available for download at the Dwelvers Website and on Steam.

In this version we have backtracked a little bit and reinstated the auto claiming system, but with some changed of course We also want to introduce cave-ins, this feature adds a cave in risk when digging straight down and will therefore will force the player to dig outwards instead of digging straight down after minerals. A lot of other features, improvements and creatures has also been introduced with this version, for example, it now possible to place a ladder and dig underneath it with it being destroyed. This makes the excavation a lot smoother without having to rebuild ladders all the time.

I also want to add that the possession spell has been upgraded. You can now dig, attack and throw rocks at the enemy when you have possessed a creature.

To make this release extra special we have a special one week offer on Steam and on Dwelvers Website. Buy now and get a 30% discount

Changelog:

Spoiler (Click to View)

Fixes:

• 0.9 - Limited DM Storage Halts Production - I noticed this while excavating the area around the DM. My DM was running low on storage capacity, so I built a Storage Room. I selected all construction and crafting materials to go to the Storage Room so the DM would be food production only. My Imps keep emptying my Storage Room to bring back to the DM and this creates a loop.
• 0.8i - Crash directly after starting a new game! - I was building tiles and an imp got in the way it pulled up the creatures pic and everything crashed.
• 0.9b - Rally Flag in the Fog - There are a lot of times when I can't place a rally flag in fog where I have explored already, but sometimes I can. I haven't been able to figure out what the conditions are.
• 0.9 - Portrait selection not working for groups - I was testing units groups. Trying to select all orcs by clicking on the race portrait works as expected, but cant form a group like this. Ctrl + 1 does nothing if you select them this way. (tested click selecting individually and that works so the issue should be within selection method when creating the group).
• 0.9b - Assertion StorageBuildingSystem Line 285 - Error keeps appearing with 2-3 min breaks, hitting ignore solves it...
• 0.9b - Assertion Gamelevelwork line 100 - So suddenly without any direct action this error popped up (Assertion Gamelevelwork line 100).
• 0.9 - Unrevealing Hidden - When you use Reveal Hidden Lands it does a couple of interesting things.
• 0.8h - Loader Doesn't Display All Cards - This is on my laptop where I have the basic Intel HD Graphics 4600, but it also has a Radeon HD 8690M which the game should be using for best performance. The Radeon doesn't appear in the list.
• 0.9b - Mining walls when being reinforced - If you try to mine a wall that is being reinforced, this is not permitted, and the selection does not take effect.
• 0.9 - Steps from roads doesn't work - Steps created using roads doesn't work, creatures climb like it wasn't there, although it seems to accelerate the climb.
• 0.9b - Spells locked on surface but still works - It is not possible to select reveal hidden land while on surface view, but if you select reveal hidden land while underground, having the spell in your hand, and then switching to surface, allows you to cast reveal hidden land while on the surface.

Just logged on and this post wasn't here, start looking through the bug updates, and what's this? ...0.9d released...oh yeah? Then this post! Awesome! now I just need the work day to end, and I'll get crackin on bug confirmations. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I get very happy to hear that Just start throwing those bugs at me (if you find any )
What I am most excited about is if there are still crashes, I found a issue that could be the cause for some crashes when starting the game, but I am not sure so I didn't post about it.
