Star Drifters recap #2
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.
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.
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
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/
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!
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!
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!

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!
