Lord of Dwarves v1.0 Is Out Now!
Lord of Dwarves Early Access has ended and the v1.0 release is now live! The release also contains a new bonus game mode, Challenges! I hope you enjoy everything Lord of Dwarves has to offer. It has been a long road since development began in 2013. After all these years the 1.0 version has finally been released. What started as a hobby turned into a massive passion project and finally into a full fledged, content-full game. I'm really happy to have been able to include three diverse game modes that really vary how Lord of Dwarves is played. The full Campaign takes you through a series of adventures and objectives while teaching you the basics of the game. The extensive Sandbox lets you customize the game to vastly different play styles. Finally the brand new Challenge mode gives you objectives to complete that focus on specific aspects of the game. I'm very happy with where Lord of Dwarves is. This project was a huge one man endeavor, my personal Mount Everest. At 442,954 lines of code I really can't believe how big this game got and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
In addition to Sandbox and Campaign, there is now a third game mode, Challenges! Challenges are independent scenarios with a specific objective to accomplish. Challenges often highlight a small set of game mechanics allowing the player to focus on those mechanics. Often challenges have a specific starting state or special game rules which allows the player to focus on the challenge and not be bogged down with unrelated tasks. There are 21 challenges in all ranging from combat, construction, trap making, and even raising a bunny farm. In one challenge you will need to prepare for the imminent arrival of a vicious ettin. In another the surface is overrun with monsters and you will need to grow mushrooms underground to survive until you are strong enough to fight them off. One of my favorite challenges has you lead a single dwarf to prepare and defend against an attack by 15 goblins. I really hope you enjoy the challenge mode. I had a lot of fun creating and testing each challenge. See if you can complete all 21!

Lord of Dwarves is a game about helping a band of dwarves survive, build, and defend themselves against hoards of monsters. You need to gather resources, secure food sources, craft weapons & armor, build structures, and defend those structures against monster sieges. All in a completely rearrangeable 3D voxel world.
Campaign
Lord of Dwarves features a full campaign which also acts as a tutorial. No need to turn to wikis just to learn to play, everything is explained in game. Enjoy the well paced campaign instead of being forced to create custom levels from the get go.
Sandbox
Lord of Dwarves also has an extensively customizable sandbox mode. Control terrain size, height, roughness, topology. Customize monster type and frequency, or turn monsters off completely and concentrate on sandbox building. Even select a climax event like a demon invasion or an attack by an elite monster which gives every sandbox game an exciting conclusion.
Fresh Gameplay Objectives
Build an archer tower at least 8 blocks tall. Decide what it will look like and where the stairs will go. Train extra lumberjacks to chop down an evil forest. Or build a structure around your village to keep the wolves out.
Monsters & Sieges
Build walls to hold off goblin invasions. Train archers to fend off orcs as they climb your walls. Muster all your forces to defend against an elite creature that has taken an interest in your settlement.
Customizable World
Play in a different procedurally generated terrain each time and modify that terrain however you see fit. Every block, tree, and workshop is completely constructible and destructible. Build a castle, an underground dungeon, or big "Studville" sign - anything is possible.
