Case study: Delve: Between Descents

Highlights

  • Town loop โ€” recruit, equip, send down, sell loot, invest in shops
  • Mid-delve checkpoints โ€” press on or retreat with what you've earned
  • Hall of Winners โ€” cross-run leaderboard persists through resets
  • Burial ceremony with procedurally-picked epitaphs
  • SHA-256 signed localStorage saves
  • Shared lore, bestiary, and portraits with Delve and Ashes of the Pale Flame

A town/resource-management sim set in the world of Delve. You never go down. You run the town that outfits the people who do.

Recruit adventurers from seven classes, equip them from four shops (Blacksmith, Armorer, Jeweler, Outfitter), choose a depth, and send them in. Deeper expeditions split into checkpoints โ€” you choose when to bank their gold and when to press deeper. If they fall, a burial ceremony gives them a procedural epitaph before their name is added to the Hall of Winners.

No backend. State lives in localStorage, signed with SHA-256 on every write.
