Delvers (Colony & FPS Exploration Game)

Build a colony. Read the rock. Explore what lies beneath.

hey Nate here, welcome to my Opus 5.5/ Vs code Experiment, and me, designing a game I always wanted, enjoy.

Your Delvers, a crew of hardy mole-folk, have crash-landed on a wild frontier world. Warren Control is somewhere overhead and needs supplies sent up. You have a Hive, a few Delvers and a forest.

Grow the colony

• Fell trees, quarry stone and plant survey poles that listen to the rock for ore.
• Core the signals, strike iron, and sink mine shafts with timbered tunnels and lanterns.
• Smelt ore in the Bloomery, press parts in the Metalworks and craft tools in the Workshop. Each new tier of tech comes from what your base can actually build.
• Fill requisitions and launch them up the Uplink Spire to Warren Control.

Go down there yourself

• Take control of any Delver and drop into first person.
• Huge caverns, winding tunnels, and chasms that cut all the way down to glowing lava lakes.
• See ore glinting on cave walls. Gold lies deep.
• Find abandoned mines, with old timber, broken rails, loot carts and rope bridges over the drop.
• Falling hurts. Lava kills. Bring a headlamp and a rope.
• Ride your pack mules.

Survive the night

• After dark, the Rust creep in from the shadows.
• Light keeps them back: lamps, guard towers and the Hive.
• Choose Peaceful, Normal or Hard when you start.
