For the past 3 months or so, we have been working on a new game that we are calling Delve.

Delve is a Puzzle-RPG hybrid that tasks you with destroying gems using giant bombs, an indispensable tool for our dwarven hero. Uncover treasure, powerful artifacts, and mystery as you dig deeper and deeper into the realm of your ancestors.

We plan on bringing Delve to PC and iOS devices sometime in the middle of this year.

Standby for more details in the weeks to come, but in the meantime, check out some screenshots/concept art from the game.

Here you can see some of our gem explosion. Destroying gems while you dig your way into mountains is a key part of the gameplay.

Here you can see one of Delve’s boss battles. This is one of the key ways we plan on introducing RPG/Action elements to our puzzle game.

Anyone interested in being added to our tester pool, please send me an email at kevin@blacktorchgames.com and we will make sure you get sent a test version of the game.

In other development news, we are preparing to do a test launch in Canada ASAP.  Hopefully the US release will follow close behind if everything goes smoothly.
