Dawnmaker is a solo strategy game combining elements of board game and deck building. In a world covered by a toxic Smog, only you can rekindle the ancient lighthouses and bring light and life back. Construct buildings, gain new cards, generate resources and improve your central lighthouse to unlock new building space.

Optimize your deck — Gain increasingly powerful cards as you improve your city. Your cards and buildings interact in various ways: choose them wisely to create the most powerful combinations!
Build efficient cities — Make the best of your limited space by optimally positioning your buildings. Improve your lighthouse to repel the Smog and expand your city.
Manage your resources — Grow farms, build industries, develop science and inspire your people to create the rarest of resources: Eclairium!

Reclaim the lost continent — The continent of Heksiga has been covered by a toxic Smog. Repair and improve magical lighthouses to repel that Smog and reclaim the land, region by region.
Recover lost technologies — Explore vestiges of the old Empire and rediscover technologies that were lost to the Smog.

Quality of life update - Changelog 2025-03-20

Dear players,

We've released a big quality-of-life update of Dawnmaker at the end of last week, and a minor update with bug fixes today. Here are the major changes these updates bring:

Added an option, when picking a character, to enable infinite retries. This option allows you to replay regions you lost as many times as you like, and prevents losing a run.
Reworked a bunch of interfaces (as part of our work on the mobile version). For example, the Character selection screen has been completely revamped, and buildings in the market are now in a separate column and with miniatures instead of the full card.
Enabled the Steam Overlay.
And a bunch of small bug fixes!

As usual, we thank you for playing Dawnmaker! We hope we'll keep receiving your feedback, either on the Steam forums, on our Discord server , or via the F8 key in the game.

On to the changelog!
