Depth Spelunking Updates & Version History
Last verified: .
Quick answer: The modern baseline is v0.7.0a “The Recode” (26 July 2026) and v0.7.0b “Post-Recode Balance Patch” (9 October 2026) . As of 0.7.0b, Foxxive states that further changelogs are posted in Discord rather than the DevForum bulletin.
Channel change (important)
DevForum notice (quoted in substance): after the Post-Recode Balance patch (9 Oct 2026), updates are no longer posted on the bulletin and will be released exclusively on Discord . Players chasing “latest patch” should prioritize Discord (opens in a new tab) + in-game notes.
v0.7.0a — The Recode (26 Jul 2026)
Major systems called out on the developer bulletin include:
- Post Mortem / ghosts: dead players may rejoin the run as a ghost with limited abilities
- Hard Mode as a separate challenge mode
- New elevator behavior (closeable doors)
- Save-data overhaul with legacy conversion on join
- Entity overhaul toward damage-based hits + Traumas
- Revives (up to twice per run; first 50 Robux, second 80 Robux, or free via a new meta-currency; other revive methods also exist)
- Custom chat distance fading, hearing accessibility indicators
- Cross-server custom lobbies + lobby codes
- New starter items, floors, consumables, and mid-run items (some names redacted in public notes)
Public Recode playtest context (community version history): roughly 3 Jul 2026 → 26 Jul 2026 before full Recode release.
v0.7.0b — Post-Recode Balance (9 Oct 2026)
Highlights from the same bulletin / community mirror:
- New community maps: Toy Factory , Desert Ruins
- Ghost teleport to living players; additional ghost ability
- Lobby gifting of revives
- Graphics brightness option
- Multiple Hard Mode / boss / item balance tweaks
- Note that this was the last large write-up mirrored to DevForum
Older milestones (context only)
Community version history also records earlier public tests and the Daily Mode mini-update (v0.6.8, Jan 2026). Useful for archaeology; not the default advice baseline on this site.
How we will maintain this page
We summarize official notes first. Community wikis are secondary mirrors. After 0.7.0b, expect Discord-first updates — we will only add bullets we can point to a public source or dated screenshot note.
