- DELPHYQ Early Access Launch - 19 October 2021
We’re finally here. These past five years have felt like a lifetime for us here in the development team. From humble beginnings to its current iteration, the road to Delphyq’s Early Access release was admittedly a rough one. Not only for the game, but for the entire dev team, too. We’ve gone through some tough times, having a small team like ours working on an ambitious game, yet we soldiered on. Talent came and went, some of whom were critical to the process of creating the game, but we pushed on, firmly locked on to the vision that we were bringing to life. The dream of offering a fresh take to the strategy and tactics genre was a driving force that kept us moving forward. And you, dear readers, are the audience we are aiming for. Whether you’re an operative who’s been with us since the start, or a new recruit in the fight against The Balance, we welcome you warmly and with open arms.…

- Early Access Delayed - 5 November 2020
To our beloved commanders, I would like to start this off by saying that if you are reading this now and were anticipating the release of Delphyq on early access, thank you. You are the reason why I wrote this letter today. To preface the situation, Delphyq has become somewhat of a massive undertaking in terms of goals. What started as a small dream has now grown into a commitment to deliver, not just a standard experience, but more. I have evaluated every facet of the project up till the final hour, and have deemed that in order to meet the standards that the strategy community requires, we must face the reality of this delay. Let me make one thing clear, friends: this is not a setback, it is a calibration of quality. I require the complete experience I’ve envisioned for this project, and to meet that standard, the team requires a few more months to get the project up to the demands I’…

Internally, it meant better identification of production processes and easier interpretation between our weekly updates and bugfixes. NEW FEATURES We've improved the accuracy of the CQS unit, for both players and enemies, which resulted in an overall better experience in encounters and firing exchanges. BUGFIXES Fixed a lot of cover issues on all the playable levels. Better cover interaction and better accessibility. Fixed an issue where units restart their aim time after popping out of cover. Need to fire 'em off quickly now. Fixed an issue where Player units were shooting outside of their EWR (Effective Weapo…
