Alpha v0.09

Released: 11 November 2019

Welcome to the next Major Update for Melvor Idle!

This update focuses on content for combat with the inclusion of Dungeons, as well as many new items to acquire. Some minor changes to other skills have also been introduced.

For those of you who are wanting more Skilling content/changes, it will be saved for v0.10.

Let's have a look at what has been introduced this update.

Dungeons

Dungeons are basically another term to describe Bosses. Your goal is the slay all prior monsters within the dungeon to then face the beast that protects the area.

Each dungeon provides a unique chest as a reward. Inside this chest contains many valuable items for you to obtain.

Note: You are not able to change your equipment or food choice during the dungeons. Choose your options wisely before you start!

Let's see who can beat them all!

Melvor Cloud

This update also brings updated functionality to the Melvor Cloud.

Upon logging in to the Melvor Cloud, it will now attempt to automatically load your save. If the save stored in the Cloud is different to the one you already have loaded, it will prompt you with a few options to ensure we don't step on your toes.

If you are logged into the Cloud, your save will automatically upload to the cloud every 5 minutes. You can force a syncronise by visiting the dropdown menu under your username.

As always, please backup your save before performing any actions as a safeguard.

Alpa v0.08.2

Released: 31 October 2019

Today I am introducing a heavily requested feature, as well as some fixes and changes based on feedback from players.

Melvor Cloud

Welcome to the Cloud!

From the Settings tab, you can access what I like to call the 'Melvor Cloud' - a starting point for exciting things to come.

It has been heavily requested that I add some form of Cloud Saving functionality to the game, and this is the start of that solution.

Upon load you will see a Login / Register page. When you register for an account, your currently loaded save will be syncronised alongside your account creation.

Upon logging in, you will be greeted with two options.

The first is a button that simply links to a text page containing nothing but the currently syncronised save file from the server. Copy / paste this into the import field to load it.

The second option is a syncronise button. Clicking this will overwrite the existing save in the cloud with your currently loaded save.

In its current state, this is a very basic system with a sole purpose to provide a Cloud Save system for your game. There is no auto-syncronise yet, or any other server based functionality. This will come later down the track, please be patient.

Changes

• [NEW] Melvor Cloud has bee introduced.
• [NEW] Equip xAll for Food and Arrows added as an option.
• [FIXED] Fixed an issue with GP value becoming a very large decimal number.
• [FIXED] Woodcutting stats for seconds spent cutting is now displayed correctly.

PLEASE NOTE: I am still investigating a few bugs to do with crafting skills. Hotfixes will be applied when resolved.

Alpha v0.08.1

Release: 30 October 2019

Alpha v0.08

Welcome to the next major update for Melvor Idle! This update brings along a three new skills for you to train, as well as some other additions and changes throughout the game.

The next update, Alpha v0.09, will have a focus on combat (You can see a little teaser in the Combat Area selector).

Let's take a look at what has been added into the game.

Ranged

Ranged combat is the latest addition to the combat skills area.

Take advantage of the large damage output from bows and arrows, as well as the inclusion of ranged armour that can assist with your combat.

Ranged combat requires a bow and arrow. Be sure to pay attention to your ammo so you do not get caught out.

Fletching

Fletching is a very simple skill. Currently, its sole purpose is to provide you with bow and arrow creation.

A simple, yet fast skill to train.

Crafting

Crafting provides the option to create ranged armour, as well as put your gems to use in creating combat rings and necklaces.

This isn't the fastest skill to train, but the benefits provided by the equipment you can craft makes it something to pay attention to.

Alpha v0.07

Released: 9 October 2019

This update focuses on updates to current content within Melvor Idle.

The main focus is on Balance (Except Combat), as well as an array of changes, fixes, optimizations and other QoL inclusions.

I have also added a Patreon link to the sidebar ingame. For those who wish to directly support the development of this game, and receive some benefits along the way, I will be greatly appreciative of that. I won't really be advertising it after this update, but it will be there for those who wish to support. This game will still continue development as usual even with no Patreons.

BALANCE CHANGES It was too hard to show all the balance changes here, so I created a Google Sheet showing all the changes.

See all the changes here: BALANCE CHANGES SHEET.
