As we promised, we’re back in the blink of an eye! ???????? During the last two weeks we were focused on our ongoing Playtest. We want to show you some awesome statistics and our thoughts on how it all went! (Spoiler: it went great.)
Contest Results! ????????
During our Playtest, we organized a contest for the best colony!
In our game, you can build your very own settlement, filled with various types of defensive turrets, defensive walls and buildings. Everything connected with mana pipes! How you do it in detail is up to you.
Thanks to everyone who participated, we had a chance to see their amazing takes on how the greatest dwarven settlement could look like! Players did not disappoint! As we promised, the winners get free keys to one of our previous games!
Round of applause for our talented scouting engineers! Just look at these masterpieces!
What would your dwarven colony look like?
Precious Feedback
Main reason that pushed us to launch our Playtest was the possibility of getting some feedback from our community and let us tell you, we got A LOT! And that’s absolutely fantastic! ????
We are very happy that much of the feedback from players aligns with our production pipelines and what we would like to add and improve in the game. Many important points were made and we will definitely benefit from all the things that have been said in our Discord, Steam Discussions, reports and in our feedback form. Overall, our game has been reviewed very positively by most and we couldn’t have wished for more!
???? We’re extremely grateful for all the tips and feedback we’ve received! Thanks to you, First Dwarf will blossom with each day! ????

Adding games to your wishlist is a very easy way to support developers! Some time ago we made a Steam page for our upcoming free prologue, titled First Dwarf: First Island.
We would be very grateful if you could add it to your wished games! As well as the main First Dwarf game! ????????????
