[h2]Greetings, Dwarven Lords![/h2] We are glad to see that you have decided to visit our mountain. It has been a long time since the last announcement and we can't wait to share this update with you. [h2]Development Update[/h2] King of the Dwarves has been in development for quite some time now, and we have encountered obstacles that forced us to make a break from developing the game. Right now, we are slowly nearing the Pre-Alpha stage of development. We still have a lot of placeholders in our build, as you can clearly see in the video below, but we are making steady progress, which makes us optimistic about the future of the game. It's still too early to announce the launch date or any opportunity the play any sort of demo, that could've been shared with the players. But at the same time, we want to thank you all for sticking with us and cheering for the development of King of the Dwarves. May you be blessed with the spirits of the ancient dwarven gods! [h2]Gates[/h2] So what are we working on right now? A lot of basic game mechanics, like workers' AI, resource generation, and food consumption. We are optimizing the map generation, and recently we have added the exterior part of the mountain to the game. Previously, you were starting in the middle of the mountain with a random room hanging in the void. But now we can proudly announce that it all starts with the gates! In King of the Dwarves, you will be starting outside the mountain. You build the gates and only then you can progress and start digging through the rock. Expect your gates to look modest at the beginning of the game. However, at the very end, a monumental structure will impress even the oldest among dwarves. See the progression below: Stage 1 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34087519/0608ef6a44299f7f0e1e19628b32790052d3c699.png[/img] Stage 2 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34087519/144f056bd22da065679c760e79bb03e26582f78b.png[/img] Stage 3 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34087519/b195dd030f70b96c2163e131ee377cd5460d7431.png[/img] Stage 4 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34087519/aafe9b198e78f662387c35aa50c590c573bb064d.jpg[/img] [h2]Gates - Video[/h2] Let's take a look at how the gates look in action! Remember, as mentioned before - a lot of things visible on the screen are placeholders. We still intend to change the UI and improve the visuals as much, as possible.
