Today (October 29, 2025), the "Magicraft" action roguelike game "Magicraft", developed by Wave Technology and exclusively distributed by bilibili Games, officially launched a free DLC linked to the world's popular ocean adventure management game "Diver Dave".This DLC requires no extras and is an in-game update. Players can enter the game after updating the main game with the DLC, and then they can transform into Dave and use the iconic harpoon to fight against the king squid from the deep sea in the magical kingdom!
From the deep sea to the magical world, Dave unlocks interdimensional adventures
As a "linkage master" in the field of independent games, "Magic Craft" has previously been successfully linked with works such as "Warm Snow" and "Backpack Brawl". The linkages have restored the classic skills and unique gameplay mechanisms of the original works.This free DLC for "Dave the Diver" continues this tradition, integrating Dave, harpoons, deep-sea scenes and iconic monsters into the magical world.Players can get an exclusive linkage suit: the Diver Dave suit. The suit has two appearances. You can wear regular clothes in the camp and change into a diving suit when entering the level.The Dave character suit has a unique weapon charging mechanism. After hitting the enemy a certain number of times with the "triple spinner", the classic harpoon attack in the original work can be released, accurately restoring Dave's wonderful fishing moments.
What's even more surprising is that the hundreds of spell runes provided in "Magic Craft" make Dave no longer just a diver who can use a harpoon - the freely combined magic programming gameplay, such as splitting, rotating, ejecting, penetrating, etc., combined with the harpoon series relics with various enchanting effects, allows Dave to transform from a diver into an all-round magician. While retaining the refreshing hunting feeling of the original game, he can play an ever-changing new genre of magic.
In addition, the linkage DLC will launch three linkage BOSS: King Squid, Truck Hermit Crab, and John Watson.The King Squid is the first BOSS that the protagonist encounters in "Diver Dave" and is a classic image in the original work. In "Magic Craft", the King Squid will have a unique battlefield design that is different from the past, retaining its distinctive characteristics while integrating the "Magic Craft" game mechanics to form a unique cross-dimensional combat experience.
In addition to the classic characters, weapons and monsters from "Dave the Diver", "Magic Craft" also incorporates the special scenes of "Dave the Diver", such as the shop and forge room designed based on the houses in the Mermaid Village, and the life recovery room designed based on the Banjo Sushi Restaurant. The background sound effects of the related linkage scenes use the original sound effects of "Dave the Diver", giving you a familiar and unfamiliar audio-visual experience.
Code refactoring achieves performance leap, making magic combat smoother
Since launching Early Access (EA) on Steam in 2023, "Magic Craft" has always attached great importance to the feedback from the player community in the past two years.In view of the impact that players frequently cast spells during combat and the complex visual effects produced by spell programming on the game's operating efficiency, the project team spent 8 months systematically reconstructing the game's underlying architecture and using DOTS technology to fully optimize game performance. This game optimization has now been implemented simultaneously with the "Magic Craft" x "Diver Dave" linkage version.
The new version will bring improvements to the experience in many aspects: the game running frame rate will be smoother, and lagging will be significantly reduced; the collision rules have been improved, the upper limit of stacking of player's spell summons has been increased, and the display space required for the same number of summons has been reduced, making the battle scene cleaner and the operation smoother; the visual effects of some spells have been reworked, the game screen is more refined, and the combat visual effects are more gorgeous.
It should be noted that after the overall structure of the game shifted to DOTS, the performance of some spell combinations has been enhanced, but some spell special effects have been slightly adjusted.Affected by the code logic update, the damage calculation rules of some spells have also changed.Therefore, all warriors may wish to take this opportunity to explore and create a new magic BD combination!
Currently, "Magic Craft" x "Diver Dave" free linkage DLC has been launched through the Steam platform, and players can go there.In the future, the fantasy adventure of "Magic Craft" will continue to expand its boundaries, continue to inject new vitality into the game ecology, and bring more happy gaming experiences to players.
