| Melvor Idle 2 - Coming Soon to Steam Early Access! | 2025-04-23 | https://i.imgur.com/9ZJ2U2T.png Over the last 5 and a half years, we have dedicated our time and energy to Melvor Idle in what’s been such an incredible ride. I went from learning how to make a simple idle game to becoming one of the top paid Idle games in the genre in the span of a few years, which wouldn’t have been possible without all of you, the incredible & dedicated community. I went from working by myself in my spare time, to now working alongside a team of 3 other full-time passionate and dedicated individuals to make the best experience possible. Today, I’m extremely excited to announce the next chapter in our story - Melvor Idle 2. |
| Progress update on the Offline Client - Crossplay & Mobile | 2025-01-22 | Hello everyone! I thought it would be a good idea to provide an update on the progress of the Offline Client since we released it into Beta on Steam two months ago. Crossplay Compatibility In our Steam Beta announcement, we mentioned that content purchased on one platform (e.g., Steam) wouldn’t be accessible offline on another platform (e.g., Mobile). Based on your feedback, we’ve worked on a solution to address this. I'm happy to say we are implementing a system that caches and validates your purchases for up to 30 days while offline. This timer resets each time you load the game with an internet connection. This feature is the main reason t |

It’s been a minute since I’ve provided an update on what we’re working on behind the scenes, so I thought now would be a good chance to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming v1.3.1 update (no ETA yet).

| Game Update - 15 August 2024 | 2024-08-15 | = Into the Abyss only = Atlas of Discovery only = Throne of the Herald only Update on Offline Client - Stage 2 We're still working on Stage 2 of the Offline Client which brings full offline functionality to the Desktop Clients (Stage 3 is Mobile). It's quite the task to undertake, but we're making good progress on it. Stage 2 required us to completely rewrite how the game loads in order to achieve full offline functionality. It's a bunch of stuff you'll never notice or see when we actually release the update, but its something we have to do to make it work. Stage 2 is probably the stage that takes the most amount of time. After we release it, |
