Star Drifters

Hello everyone!

The year 2022 is now a melody of the past.
We would like to thank all of you guys for supporting us since day one!

Without further ado - lets check out what happened in our camp during the second half of 22. Lets go!

[h2] First Dwarf (...and some gaming events here and there! )[/h2]

In case you missed it - First Dwarf is our upcoming Action RPG set in the world of Driftland. Thats why you can read about it on Driftland: The Magic Revival Steam card.

Youll be able to pet a good boi in the game. Mhm. Thats right!



Now, lets talk about the asymmetrical co-op that were implementing in First Dwarf.



In co-op, players will be able to take control over the mech or one of its pilots: Tru or Ragna. Each of them has its own, separate skills to develop and upgrade. All characters have their strengths and weaknesses so its important to choose the characters wisely when preparing to complete certain tasks.

In a single-player game, the player can switch between characters, completing tasks with the one with better skills in a given field. Tru, Ragna, and the Mech will have different skill trees. Tru will be a better Mecha pilot, Ragna can e.g. fly, and the Mech can be treated as a kind of armored vehicle, so without a pilot it will not work.



Its important to say that implementing the asymmetrical co-op would not be possible without the Game Prototype Design Competition 2022 in which we were awarded!



The competition mentioned above helped us create some new mechanics for First Dwarf. Those mechanics evolved into a full-fledged, asymmetrical co-op mode of the game, which we implemented in its build! Once again, thank you to the co-organizers of the competition: Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland, Centrum GovTech Poland, and CRPK, as well as Copernicus Game Jam 2022 - during which the diplomas were handed over and everyone who supported us along the way.

We showed our upcoming action RPG at many gaming events, both digital and held in real places. Just to name a few:
- PAX West;
- Pozna Games Arena (PGA);
- Indie Cade;
- DreamHack Beyond Indie Showcase;
- MIX Next 2022;
- Dev.Play;
- #PitchYaGame.

Its time to focus on 3 of them.

[h2] First stop - PAX West. [/h2]

Lots of you came to our booth to check out an early build of our game. Thank you for that! See you next year!

Your reactions surpassed our expectations, and the feedback provided will certainly influence the further development of the game, already at this stage. It was 4 days full of interesting conversations, laughter and a unique atmosphere created by countless players, cosplayers, journalists, or industry representatives.



[h2] Second stop - Pozna Games Arena (PGA).[/h2]

In Pozna, we were showing First Dwarf, Scorchlands, Brewpub Simulator, and Lumencraft. PGA was such a blast! We felt your enjoyment brought to your faces by our upcoming games. Just look at Kuba, one of the members of our team - his smile does not lie



[h2] The last stop - Dev.Play.[/h2]

Its a yearly celebration of indie games and their developers. Game creators from all over the world come to Bucharest to present their titles and experiences. The event ended with an award gala. First Dwarf received 3 awards: Best Game of the Show, Best Visuals, and Most Popular Game. Thank yall!



To wrap up the First Dwarf chapter of this recap we want to write about the key role of our IGN - Exclusive Announcement Trailer posted on IGNs YouTube channel was viewed more than 285k times. There are also more than 5.4k thumbs up under the video!

[previewyoutube=ZKC-fx7Vl88;full][/previewyoutube]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714900/First_Dwarf/

[h2] Scorchlands[/h2]

Who wont fall in love with birdlike Giwis, running around through the hexes? The games a wholesome and adorable city builder.



Play the demo version - is available for free here, on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090100/Scorchlands/



At this point, we can say that developers from Ringlab are aiming for publishing more Steam News about in-game mechanics. When were writing these words, three of them are available as we speak: How the protagonist Giwi hatched, How to build your colony, and Gameplay Insight #1: Summoning the Nexus.

Stay tuned ! More of them will be published during January and February of 2023.

Also, the game received a warm welcome during #TurnBasedFest 2022!

[h2] Lumencraft[/h2]

The full release of this unique mix of a top-down shooter with base building and roguelike mechanisms is just around the corner! Nonetheless, were not spoiling the release date at the moment. Thats not the only great news - something big is coming to the game. We bet you werent expecting this. Jump on the hype train, but stay calm. For now, lets go down. Together.



The developers from 2Dynamic Games are constantly tweaking and upgrading the games build. You can help them by completing the survey they made - well be very grateful for the feedback! Its called Discord survey, because the games community was the first one to answer the questions mentioned in it.

Link to Lumencraft survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckMJ-2HMumj5rPd_i2Up0bxT3CRyQvZzWpmKmvBQTfKDTLNg/viewform



One of the most important moments during the Early Access of Lumencraft was taking a different approach to the game's build. The experimental update published a few months ago left the beta stage. It's now living its new life - the developers called it Giga Update.

Lumencraft is reshaping every once in a while - two bigger updates and one smaller update were released since the release of Giga Update. Theres a lot of fresh content in the game - you should play it now, especially if you spent some time with Lumencraft a few months ago. It truly is worth revisiting!

[h2] Brewpub Simulator[/h2]

There was a first, official playtest of the game - were glad how many of you decided to check out what its like to run a virtual pub and brew some virtual ale! A playable build of the game was presented to European audiences for the first time during PGA 2022. Thanks for playing it, we know what works and what needs some tweaking here and there!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755180/Brewpub_Simulator/

[h2] Danger Scavenger [/h2]

Our skyscraper roguelite shooter is out now on Epic Games Store!



Just a reminder - Danger Scavenger is available on PC, PS4, XONE, Nintendo Switch, Atari VCS, and XSX. Its also a Steam Deck verified game - give it a try on one of the handhelds, and youll fall in love with this fast-paced gunslinger action!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169740/Danger_Scavenger/

This is not the last word we said speaking about publishing our games catalog on Epic Games Store - more titles will follow soon. At this point, you can wishlist First Dwarf and Scorchlands on this platform!

Thats all for today.
Great things are here, but also great things are yet to come.
2023 will be ours!

Dont forget to support IndieDev!

Much love,
Star Drifters

Salute!

When were writing these words, were on our way to Pozna - one of the biggest cities in Poland. At the beginning of every Autumn, MTP Pozna Expo is transformed into the location of one of the largest computer, console, and multimedia entertainment trade show in Central and Eastern Europe

Pozna Game Arena, here we come!

Save the date: 07-09.10.2022
Booth 23 at Pavilion 7


Be there with us for the whole weekend - from Fridays morning till Sundays evening!

Were so happy to be a part of it once again. So, without further ado - we would like to invite all of you to



This year, well be showcasing four games.

First Dwarf, our upcoming Action RPG

[previewyoutube=ZKC-fx7Vl88;full][/previewyoutube]

This will be the first time well be presenting the game in Europe!
We truly cant wait to see what you guys think about Tru and Ragna. Our team was polishing the build for the last few weeks especially for PGA. In case you missed the info - First Dwarf is our new game expanding the Driftland franchise.

Scorchlands, the adorable city-builder with bird-like characters (theyre actually called Giwis )

[previewyoutube=bjYEg5katr4;full][/previewyoutube]

Just a reminder - the demo version of Scorchlands is now up on Steam - we submitted it to Steam Next Fest. Seems like everybody digs the cute Giwis communities. Youve got to check Scorchlands out! Pozna Game Arena is a great place to do so.

Brewpub Simulator, the game for all pub enjoyers

Psst Thats the sound of a beer can being opened. Were more into taps and craft beers - you will be able to verificate our passion about the golden drink by playing the demo version of Brewpub Simulator! We never showed it to anyone, this will be the first time EVER. We cant wait for your feedback about this project!

[previewyoutube=kw6uf0yrJaE;full][/previewyoutube]

Lumencraft

[previewyoutube=ldgf-iLMxxY;full][/previewyoutube]

This is a project that we announced last year - a lot of things happened along the way. The games currently in Early Access, whats more - feel free to download the demo version and see how much stuff was added, tweaked and re-shaped since the start of EA. Lumencraft looks great, runs smoothly, and feels just like we imagine it - its a little tricky and spooky. Whats more, if you own a Steam Deck - this is definitely a game you want to try on this handheld.

Oops, looks like were already in Pozna. Its time to set everything before you visit our booth! See you on-site - dont be shy and come say hi.

Yours truly,
Star Drifters

Hello everyone,

you probably wonder why theres a graphic with a screen taken from the Nintendo Switch version of Danger Scavenger. The answer is simple - we wanted to make an announcement summarizing our work done between January and July of 2022 - when were writing these words, Driftland is still our most popular franchise.

Unfortunately, nothing really happened during this period in Driftland camp. Nonetheless, you can get the game in many discounts that pop up every once in a while (usually during Steam/GOG offers/events). But, yknow, theres always something cookin. Be patient.



https://store.steampowered.com/app/718650/Driftland_The_Magic_Revival/

Danger Scavenger

Thats where the fun starts. First of all - were flattered that DS is featured on the back of the Atari VCS box. Ta-da!



When Steam Deck was on its way, we did everything to make sure that the game would run perfectly on the second handheld from day one. After that, we received an official Steam Deck verification in May. Speaking about the first handheld, just a reminder - Danger Scavenger is available on PC, PS4, XONE, Switch, VCS and XSX.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169740/Danger_Scavenger/



Were always looking for new ways of approaching the titles that we already published. When we started talking with the Tilt Five team, we knew that their Holographic Gaming System would be a great place for a skyscraper-based roguelike. Thats why we made a dedicated DLC to bring the catchphrase a new level of the 3D vibrant holographic environment" to DS rooftops!





Lumencraft

When devs from 2Dynamic Games started the playtests, we were convinced that approx. 200 people will check out the game during the two weeks of that phase. Well, there were 1312 participants. The feedback submitted by playtesters gave us a new perspective on the game. We knew that we chose the right project for publishing.

The Lumencraft section of this Steam announcement will be the longest one, because the games still in Early Access and currently its a project no. 1 in our catalog.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1713810/Lumencraft/

After the first week of EA we reached the 20k copies milestone. None of us expected that this will happen so fast, so Kuba Wjcik came up with a meme idea.



We wont share how many copies were sold, but we can say that as the indie publishers - were satisfied.

Today, exactly 3 months after the start of Early Access (which happened April 13th, 2022) we would like to thank everyone who wrote a review on Steam. The numbers speak for themselves.



During the playtests, 2Ds organized the MAKE A MAP, WIN A PRIZE contest. 10 maps were published via Steam Workshop - 3 guys won Danger Scavenger and Driftland: The Magic Revival Steam keys. The ideas behind the contest were continued in the Maps Shootout series. When were writing these words there are 123 maps submitted to the Workshop.

Lots of them are truly pieces of art that reshape Lumencrafts gameplay. The summary of all Maps Shootouts installments can be found in our Stories highlights on our Instagram.

Whats more, the game was shown at this years:
- European Game Showcase during GDC;
- PAX East;
- Digital Dragons .

To this day, the 2Dynamic Games team is working closely with the games community. When Early Access starts (after the playtests), the developers published:
- 3 hotfixes;
- 4 small updates;
- two major updates;
- and were pretty much sure we forgot about something.

They added new weapons, buildings, monsters, maps and scenarios, textures, new UI, and fixed A LOT. Lumencraft is now more approachable to semi-casual players, but it does not collide with the hardcore players - there are extremely hard maps available to enjoy (or suffer a bit).

Thats all for today.
The second recap will be published at the end of 2022.
Or maybe at the beginning of 2022?

Lets see what happens. Great things are here, but also great things are yet to come.

Support the IndieDev!
Star Drifters

[h3]Hello Rebels![/h3]

Some players reported that their game started to run slower after the last update. It turns out some machines didn't handle the hardware check well.

This small update fixed this issue

be a rebel! :rebellion:
Star Drifters team

Dear Scavengers,

We did not say our last words about the Danger Scavenger evolution. The question how we can make our games even more immersive is a recurring thought inside the team we often brainstorm about it, looking for the answers.

Speaking about Danger Scavenger
What could we do to elevate the gameplay of the game that takes place on the skyscraper rooftops?

Then, the possibility of doing something together with the Tilt Five team came to the table. A three-piece Tilt Five Holographic Gaming System seemed like a fantastic opportunity to bring our beloved roguelike, Danger Scavenger, to a new level. The catchphrase "a new level of the 3D vibrant holographic environment" sounds intriguing and inspiring, right?

So, we realized that its time to make a dedicated DLC!



Today marks the day of its premiere. Danger Scavenger AR - Tilt Five Edition brings a whole new perspective, a fresh approach, and new ways of playability to the game.

Put on the Glasses, find a place for the Gameboard and take the Wand in your hand. See you on the rooftops!

Dear Scavengers!
Its hard to believe that we celebrate another Halloween together. Time flies so fast!

This year we're not only celebrating our favourite spooky holiday, but we're also picking up the fight against AI on new fronts! On October 29, Danger Scavenger will also become available on Xbox One and PlayStation4 !

Now, lets dive into the details!

Trick or Treat!
First of all, take a look at patch notes for this update:

Added Halloween decorations and particles (they will be there till November 7th!)

Optimizations:
- optimized enemies: their spawning, attacks, AI decision making
- optimized explosions and area effects
- further optimized destruction of the environmental objects

Bug fixes:
- quickly restarting the game a couple of times would cause a massive frame drop
- when too many projectiles were on the screen, it would sometimes cause the controller to de-sync and auto walk in some random direction.

A new battleground awaits!
We are excited to announce that the 29th of October is the day the Scavengers will be able to defend humanity on another platform! Get ready owners of Xbox One and PlayStation4! No one is safe when AI crawls around

Scavengers around the world!
Our friends from 2Dynamic need help! So we came here to share with you some wonderful news about the upcoming game - Lumencraft. Now, lets dive into it.



AI has outdone itself and created a portal to another dimension where humanity is struggling without electricity and light. What a wicked world it is!

Scavengers of that world fight with their enemies under the ground and collect crystals called Lumen. We have come into possession of tape from this strange dimension. Lets listen!

MESSAGE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION
* radio noise*
Hello?... Hello? Im recording this for whoever will find it. Hope things look better when you listen to me.

The year 2221. The planet's surface became uninhabitable over a century ago. Today, we - the remains of humanity - struggle to survive without electricity and light. Dreams of a better future died a long time ago, but a recently discovered mineral brought a spark of hope. Lumen - crystal of high energy potency can be the last chance for our struggling civilization. This mineral can drastically increase the odds of our survival. We have sent Scouts, our brave miners, under the ground. Its almost impossible to survive there, but we dont have much choice. A settlement was built near the estimated deposits of Lumen. It may sound pretty simple. Just dig and collect, but no one came back from there so far. New Scouts keep trying and I believe one of them will save us. If they succeed, I will record more tapes. If they fail Well, there wont be any energy to do so nor will there be anyone to listen to this.

[previewyoutube=KNvvPh2HlBI;full][/previewyoutube]

WHAT TO EXPECT
We have collected some data about what is on another side of the portal and it looks like these Scouts dont have an easy task!

Lumencraft is a top-down action shooter with tower defense elements. Emerge into the fully destructible environment created with the original engine. Build, fight, drill and collect.

Whats more?

• Dynamical light and physics interactions with the fully destructible terrain.
  
• Realistic simulations.
  
• Dread atmosphere created through the impactful sound design and a unique 2Dynamic lighting system.
  
• Defending the underground settlement by direct combat and the use of diversified turrets.
  
• Technology tree development, that gives you a strong feeling of progression.
  
• Highly efficient and satisfying digging mechanics.

Dear Scavengers, Hackers, Rebels, and Cyber-Nomads!

The last weeks of work have been very intense and fruitful for Danger Scavenger...
A large part of the work was related to the creation of console versions of the game for Nintendo Switch and the soon debuting Atari VCS.

Thanks to this, the game has gained a lot of optimization, which results in the PC version of lower hardware requirements, greater smoothness of operation, and better-looking graphics at each level of graphics settings.

The gameplay itself has been smoothed out and got a lot of small improvements and adjustments to boost the overall experience of the game.

:1scoreSD: improvements:

• performance optimization of many aspects of the game incl.: post-processes, models, particles, etc.
  
• each of the graphics settings is more optimal and at the same time has gained in graphics quality
  
• enemy missiles are visually more varied and more visible
  
• better controller support incl. navigation in the HUD (e.g. in the workshop window)
  
• it is no longer possible to eliminate enemies outside the screen and the line of sight with impunity. In such cases, they will not remain defenseless and will attack the player even if it is out of their sight
  

• after winning Arcade Mode, the entire inventory was not saved, but only 3 items and weapons (as if the player died)
  
• projectiles reflected by melee weapons were time incorrectly rotated
  
• the boss did not attack the player when he was at a long distance
  
• enemies increase their attack range when they take damage

[h2]Update 1.5.0[/h2]

[h3]New features:[/h3]

:robotworker: Better Together

Co-op mode has been an essential element of Danger Scavenger for us from the beginning. We love playing with friends, and we think that our project is perfect for that. That's why we were not satisfied with how it looked at release. Since its launch, we have worked hard to improve it. We are sure that you will like it now.



:plusplus: New Game+

Of course, we do not forget about players who prefer to play single. This time, if you finish Danger Scavenger in Hardcore mode, challenging New Game+ mode will be unlocked.


:linedasharrow: New navigation elements in the hub

We have added navigation stripes in the hub to make it easier to reach your destination!

:ThinkingLoading: Loading animation

While loading the game, we added proper animation.

:Delete_arrow: Movement direction indicator for gamepad

Star Drifters team

Dear Scavengers!

This week we prepared a second update for you - an enchanted surprise! With Update 1.4.0, Cursed Items appeared in the game along with some other small improvements. Full list below:

[h2]Update Notes 1.4.0[/h2]

[h3]New features:[/h3]

This time we have prepared something terrifying for you! A special room with cursed items. Each time you can choose one of three unique rewards, which, apart from many benefits, will give you a terrible curse. So... will you take a chance?



:loottreasure: Improving the look and collision of Secret Rooms

In the last update, we have prepared for you a new feature - Secret Rooms. We saw lots of feedback about it and decided to improve their aesthetics and fixed some collisions.

Star Drifters team

[h3]The power of surprise cannot be overestimated.[/h3]

In the last 6 updates, we focused on improving and adding new features to the single-player gameplay. However, one of the most important problems remained unresolved - the generic shape of the levels, which are generated completely randomly, which made them erm... let's put it this way - less exciting. Until today :-)

In this update, you will find many new features that will diversify the gameplay, make the levels appealing, and will often surprise you. Levels still generate randomly, but we've changed the way they are generated, which now creates lots of surprising shapes, holes, and branches. At the same time, each skyscraper gained its own personality. Let's get straight to the point:

[h2]Update Notes 1.3.0[/h2]

[h3]New features:[/h3]

:loottreasure: Secret Rooms

There are many new surprises waiting for you on the rooftops, but from now on they will also be waiting to be discovered below the surface. Please focus because you may miss the entrance that will give you a full backpack of the precious stuff. This feature is still in Work in Progress but we're sure you'll like it already.

:tbrick: The new look of the generated levels

We have prepared a completely new look for all levels. Of course, we still keep the spirit of the roguelike games, and each level is generated randomly. Only this time, we focused on making more interesting shapes that add variety and smoot gameplay to the game.

:Workforce: Improving look and layout of objects

Along with the new look of the generated levels, we also focused on improving the appearance of the props.

:questhunterspeed: Speed Boost

To speed up the whole game, we have added a unique speed boost when the player eliminates all opponents on each level.

:paintbrush: Graphics improvements

Responding to many opinions about the repetitiveness of the levels, we have prepared many new graphic improvements that will allow you to see more differences between each skyscraper. You will find new elements of the environment, a more transparent look of the floor on the Oriental skyscraper, and the variety of the whole Diesel skyscraper.

Other improvements

• we've improved the response time attack of the turrets,
  
• when the character has a full life, the first-aid kits remain unused,

In this update, we've set a goal to improve your gaming experience. Therefore, we focused on the most important aspects that you mentioned in the feedback: improving the performance and smoothness of the game, fixing bugs, tuning, and adjusting game parameters. Let's get straight to the point:

[h2]Update Notes 1.2.1[/h2]

Thanks for your bug reports and sorry for inconvenience.
In this update we introduced couple of hotfixes:

• workshop interaction - didn't toggle properly in Hub after the boss fight
  
• items saved in arcade mode - sometimes didn't save in proper order
  
• exit to hub in hardcore mode - caused resetting of game mode
  
• minor gamepad controls bugfix
  

This update changes everything!
[h3]Your feedback motivated us to work hard, introduce significant changes, and improve the game to use its great potential, which you often wrote about.[/h3]
First of all, we introduced two game modes. No matter which one you choose, both bring a lot of changes to the game. Arcade - for twin-stick shooter lovers and Hardcore for roguelike enthusiasts. The first gives fast, dynamic gameplay in which the player increases his abilities and arsenal in each subsequent run. The second mode ... just doesn't forgive mistakes :-)

Hey Scavengers!

In this small patch, we've fixed the following issues:

Bug fixes:
- resolution setting - in some cases the resolution would set to default after restarting the game
- tutorial texts showing in wrong situation - saving key bindings just after the tutorial would cause all of the tutorial texts to display

Changes:
- easier unlocks - we have lowered the amount of points needed to unlock stuff for each character

Thanks for your feedback!

Dear Scavengers,

Sometimes you need to take one step back, in order to go two steps forward. Creating Danger Scavenger we wanted to provide you the best roguelike game that we would like to play.

Unfortunately, after the release, it turned out that almost half of the players have different expectations about our project. Not all of the decisions we made proved to be the right solution. Some of them made us closer to a twin-stick shooter, and we have a lot of players who don't like the system known from roguelike games.

On the other hand, we have received a lot of valuable feedback from our community, which showed us that our game can evolve. That's why we decided that Danger Scavenger will be further developed with you - our great community, so we decided to switch to Early Access. Now every player can influence how our game will eventually look like. It was not an easy decision - Danger Scavenger is a project of my life, which was previously created as Turbo Island Purger. Cooperation with Star Drifters allowed me to expand it with many new mechanics, which were not planned before. That is why we are very keen to provide you with a project that you will be happy.

We are entering Early Access with a fully playable game. Our goal is to introduce an improvement and additional mechanics to satisfy two groups of players: roguelike fans and twin-stick shooter fans. Seemingly it is a difficult task, that's why we want to offer the possibility of choosing the game mode: roguelike or arcade (which is currently missing) and refining the balance of both modes. Also, it turned out that crafting, which we thought was a nice addition, is very important for players who from the very beginning of the game would like to be able to improve their items and weapons. That is why we would like to introduce frequent updates and be open to the ideas of our community, which honestly inspired us to move to early access.

This will be short but intensive early access. The full version will be released no later than the console version before the end of 2020. Because we have a lot of mechanics already pre-prepared, we assume that by the end of August 2020 the game will have a set of new features, and we will develop nuances together with the community gameplay and additional content.

We decided to expand the game with:

• two game modes to choose from: arcade and roguelike
  
• new game + in roguelike mode
  
• leaderboards
  
• workshops for crafting while playing on skyscrapers
  
• diversifying level shapes
  
• curse system
  
• secrets
  
• new content (items, weapons, etc.)
  
• optimization
  

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize to those who had problems with the game.

We thoroughly analyze all feedback and reviews to draw conclusions and improve the game. It is very important to us because our goal is to make every player enjoy more gameplay. We put a lot of heart into the creation of Danger Scavenger, and we are sure that we will be able to improve the game so that everyone can share this joy with us.

Therefore, we are preparing a major update, which will be available in a few days, but until then, we will publish the bug fixes.
