◻ Add a Prologue Cinematic

We've added a prologue cinematic to help tell the story of the game.
◻ Making it easier to birth Porings

Porings are no longer born through the portal of birth.
You also don't have to go through the unpleasant task of giving birth to a poring.

As soon as you find a Poring, you can pick it up and spawn it on the spot. When a Poring is born, the forest around it is restored.

Give birth to the Poring and restore the beautiful Forest of Eleusis!


◻ Harvesting plants and using them

If you find plants in the forest, be sure to gather them. You can exchange them for various items through the merchant. Items allow you to move faster, break ores and more in one go, and can also instantly restore your stamina.

You can also use them to personalize your costume.
Through the vendor, you can dye 5 types of hair in 15 different colors. There are also colors for 7 types of outfits.

◻ Customize your forest

You'll now be able to customize it.
You can remove or rearrange the grass or trees in the forest. This allows you to create your own forest.

Also, use a shovel to remove any unwanted plants.
If you take a Poring to Mama, you'll get a Forest Spirit that you can plant.
◻ Fog of Desire

In the fog, you can't see anything, and all the spirits in the forest are gone, so you can't farm them. This is where the Poring of Light comes in. You must birthing the Poring of Light in the Portal of Birth to dispel the fog of desire.

◻ 30+ achievements

Achievements have finally been added. You can try to get it!


◻ Mission to find a research paper for Eleusis

Find the research papers scattered throughout the forest and bring them to Elder Root. He'll give you some of Kore's hair as a reward, so be sure to find it and make Kore look even cuter!


◻ Various feature enhancements and bug fixes

We've changed the way stamina is consumed: the value is larger and running out will no longer cause Kore to fall.
Destroying ores and other items will now drop them immediately. You don't have to pick them up anymore.
Added to the world map!
Changed the screen that displays controls to be more visually appealing.
Added an option to hide the game UI so you can fully enjoy the open world views.
We've found and fixed a bug that could cause Kore to fall under the ground and prevent you from progressing in the game (please report it if you encounter it again).


◻ And finally...

We've completely rebooted the game to make it better, but we're sure there are still a lot of things that need to be done, but we're going to keep working on it to make it even more fun. Please give us lots of feedback on what's missing so we can improve it.

Finally, thank you so much for playing the game!!!


Throw in a picture of the office cat who is helping (?) with game development and you're done.

hello.
We're the Delivery Kore development team.

First, we'd like to thank those of you who purchased the scarce game.

We've gotten a lot of feedback since launch, and we've been thinking a lot about it. Most of the criticism has been about the lack of gameplay, and we agree with that for the most part, so we've been thinking a lot about where we want to go with future updates, and we apologize for the delay.


We had a very frustrating system for spawning and too many difficulties telling the story of Black Storm and Hades in a fun way with our limited staffing and development capabilities, so we decided that we couldn't continue in our current direction and decided to reboot the game from the current story to the story after we defeated Hades.

The purpose of the reboot is to make it more playable.
So with this reboot, we're going to be changing or adding a lot of systems related to foraging, not just stories.


(Reboot 1) The story of restoring an empty forest

The Light Poring succeeded in driving Hades back into the underworld, but the spirits of the forest were consumed and the forest was left empty. And Mama, the owner of the forest, is gone.

Alone, Kore rebirths many of the Porings in the empty forest under her own power, restoring the forest and becoming the new Forest Mama.

All it takes to restore the forest is the birth of a Poring.

Porings are no longer born through the portal of birth.
You also don't have to go through the unpleasant task of giving birth to a poring.

As soon as you find a Poring, you can pick it up and spawn it on the spot. When a Poring is born, the forest around it is restored.

Restore the beautiful Forest of Eleusis!


(Reboot 2) Collecting flowers and using them

Previously, flowers and animals were elements for Poring Missions. Now, they'll be elements that Kore can forage for himself.
Kore can be used for a variety of purposes, such as gathering flowers to buy consumable items.

(Reboot 3) Customize your forest

Instead of just restoring an empty forest, you'll now be able to customize it.
You can remove or rearrange the grass or trees in the forest. This allows you to create your own forest.

We're also working on more reboot elements, feature improvements, bug fixes, game optimizations, and more.


We're working hard to make sure it's available in November 2023.



We'll be releasing a detailed roadmap in a other document, but here's a rough roadmap.

Q1 2024

• You'll be able to add fishing, hunting, and more to your game life.
  
• You'll be able to see more stories about Eleusis.

Q2 2024

• Add networking features so you can go to your friend's forest.

Q3-Q4 2024

• You'll be able to add more elements to your forest to make it even more personalized.
  
• We're adding new outfits for Kore to make him even cuter and more unique.
  
• You'll be able to see stories about Kore and Mama.

We know that many of you were disappointed with the lack of gameplay, and with this reboot, we'll be working hard to fill in the gaps with your feedback so that we can continue to make the game more and more fun.

Thank you.

Since the game's release, we've found some small bugs that have been fixed and updated.

1. Fixed an issue where controller vibration would persist after mining ore.

2. The location of the Purifying Spring is now displayed when you spawn all of your Forlings after starting the game for the first time.

We hope you'll stay tuned for more updates on the Delivery kore!

Thank you!

Since the game's release, we've been listening to your feedback and making improvements to the menu UI and gameplay usability. Here are the main changes.

1. UI improvements. Help on game controls will appear at the start of the game. Icons have been resized and modified for better visibility.

2. Added gameplay convenience. Icons for various spirits and specific locations will now appear on the minimap where there were none before. You'll be able to enjoy the game more easily!

3. More early game quests. To prevent you from not knowing what to do when you first start, we've added an introductory quest line to help you enjoy the game more!

That's all for this update, stay tuned and don't hesitate to leave us feedback!

Thank you!

Eleusis is a place in Middle-earth where the souls of the dead gather. Beneath the vast expanse of earth, many spirits run and play, enjoying their freedom. One of them is a girl named Kore who has lived in Eleusis for many years. Kore is responsible for bringing new life into existence.

The forests of Eleusis are home to many different spirits. Although they may take the form of animals, plants, or even stones and trees, they each have a soul of their own. But there are other unusual creatures in the forest: Porings, cute little creatures that collect certain spirits to bring new life into existence.

Wherever Kore lives, there is a portal of light. Kore has the Porings collect souls, and then takes them back to the portal to be reborn into new life.

The forest is also filled with many other things: unidentified steles, a mysterious woman, a strange merchant who runs through the forest every day, walking bearded roots, and even an unexplained black storm, all of which are shrouded in mystery. It's up to you to decide how you want to explore this forest and help Kore.


Within this week, you will descend to Eleusis to join Kore. Join Kore in bringing more life into the world and more vitality to the human world!
