[h2]Greetings, Dwarven Lords! [/h2] Good to see you here! King of the Dwarves continues its steady development. Recently, the work on the game has accelerated and we are happy to see that the game is starting to look better every day. We are considering releasing a demo for Steam Next Fest in June or October, but it's too early to make a promise. Ensuring proper performance and stability will be our priority. [h2]Development Update[/h2] [b]Changelog: [/b] [list] [*] Dwarf 3D models have been updated. [*] New buildings' 3D models are in the work. [*] Pathfinding has been reworked and is using layered quadtrees now. [*] Lanterns have been added to the game. Some existing structures have been updated to include additional lighting. [*] Some objects like gold and iron have been made reflective to improve the game's visuals, [*] Stacking has been added to storage containers. Now it's possible to build stacked storage containers, one on top of another. [*] Dwarfs (while waiting for an order) will now relocate to a structure that corresponds to their assigned profession. [*] Dwarf's logic has received several updates. Dwarfs now avoid certain structures when moving, pick new tools when changing professions, have a work-rest cycle, they eat and drink. Cheers! [/list] [h2]New Dwarf Models[/h2] The Dwarfs that you could have seen in our original trailer were very simple and made with the trailer in mind first. But working on the King of the Dwarves, we needed better models that would depict the full dwarven glory appropriately. New 3D models keep on being well-optimized, while properly depicting our beloved sturdy fantasy race.

The previous iterations were too similar to the ladders and required making them more distinct from other structures. Simple beds are going to be the core element of the new housing buildings, clearly displaying the purpose of those objects.
