Dive into the Depths with Murky Divers
New Creatures and Biome
In the upcoming 1.0 release of Murky Divers, players will be greeted by a host of new creatures that inhabit the ocean depths. These mysterious beings add an extra layer of horror and challenge to the gameplay. Alongside the new creatures, a brand new playable biome will be available, offering a different environment and set of challenges for players to explore. It's a world of underwater horror waiting to be discovered.
The addition of these new elements ensures that players will never get bored with Murky Divers. Each dive into the new biome will present unique encounters with the strange creatures that call it home. It's a chance to test your skills and courage as you navigate through this uncharted territory.
Team Coordination and Sub Navigation
In Murky Divers, players form an 8-person team and embark on a journey to the bottom of the ocean. Team coordination is key as you navigate your sub through the treacherous waters. Using sonar and stations, you must "see" and pilot your sub to the abandoned labs where the corpses are located. It's a delicate balance between teamwork and individual skill.
Once at the wrecks, the real work begins. Stepping out of the sub, you'll need to extract the dead bodies and bring them back to the sub for destruction. This requires precise coordination and communication within the team. Every member plays a vital role in ensuring the success of the mission.
Upgrades and Enhancements
After surviving the dangerous missions in Murky Divers, players can use their hard-earned credits to purchase items, upgrades, and modules. These additions can greatly enhance your chances on the next expedition. Equip items like Agent NUTS, the shopping cart, or the scooter to make your job a little easier.
You can also upgrade with see-through vision, body part detectors, or a grappling hook. These enhancements give you an edge in the dark and dangerous depths of the ocean. Along with upgrading your suit, you can enhance your sub with modules for greater depth, bigger fishing nets, and more. It's all about becoming a more capable and prepared diver.
With over 350,000 players worldwide, Murky Divers has gained a significant following. The developers are grateful for the support and are constantly working to improve the game based on player feedback. As they continue to shape the game into something truly special, players can look forward to more updates and exciting adventures.
Transparency and Quick Action
For transparency's sake, itch.io took the disputed page down as soon as they received the notice. They believe it's not worth fighting such issues. However, the registrar's automated system likely kicked in and disabled the domain without properly checking the removal. This incident has left the creators of over 1 million indie-created products, including indie games, RPGs, comics, and music, in a bind.Impact on Indie Creators
The longer the site remains down, the more severe the problem becomes for these indie creators. While the downtime means they can no longer sell or distribute their products, the DRM-free nature of the downloads ensures that those who have already purchased and installed indie games from itch.io can continue to use them without any glitches. It's a double-edged sword for them, as they await the resolution of this issue.Servers Are Still There
Itch.io has confirmed to a user on X that their servers "are still there." This gives hope to the indie community that the site will be back up and running soon. But until the issue is fully resolved, the site and its extensive collection of indie creations will remain inaccessible. The fate of these indie projects hangs in the balance as they wait for the restoration of itch.io.
