Developer posts and news about this game.
Thank you to everyone that has played, I'll not ask this too often but please leave a review of the game to help with discoverability, There's a long way to go and this is just the start of this journey and I look forward to hearing everyone's stories and seeing what feedback and
Hello, Guildmasters! Dungeons & Dynasties is about to launch into Steam Early Access! Before you set off on your guild-management journey, we've put together answers to some of the questions you've been asking. We hope they'll help you get ready. Q1: When exactly does the gam
TL;DR New ways to begin: weaker or stronger founders, a purse of nothing, In Debt to the Iron Bank, and The Monster Comes of Age. These are to make the game harder/Easier and to give more options, Seeing all the feedback shows some people are enjoying a tougher start and other pe
TL;DR The Warden stands fast: Stand Fast is now the Warden's signature, so a new Warden taunts from the first fight. Whirling Cleave becomes the card a Warden can take at Grizzled. (You get to choose it at a later point!) The Paladin holds the line: it now rolls parry, armour use
TL;DR Posts carry orders: a post can set its members' gear and training priorities, give a yard order to anyone without one, and be kept off the quest, war and Trial lists. New Hire: newcomers drop into a holding post until you sort them, and each post can be the one new recruits
TL;DR Rangers fall back between shots: when a foe gets too close, they step back towards the party and stay within the healer's sight, making them harder to pick off. Shooters hold their position: they no longer lead the way into chokepoints, prefer foes they can see, and take 25
TL;DR The dungeon is drawn: every fight room is a board of stone, with walls, pillars and props that block movement and line of sight, drawn fresh each time you enter. Line of sight: a shot, a spell or a heal needs a clear line, and four new ground orders use the board. Every tra
TL;DR The writing pass: every screen's instructions rewritten in plain words (A few weeks of updates have been pulled together as I've been working my way through the copy), and the walkthrough is now offered rather than forced. The story told as scenes: event openings, all 30 in
TL;DR Three new Gatherings: the Stone Carry for tanks, the Race for damage dealers, and Last Lantern , a four-player card game of light and dark, for healers. You watch your delvers play. Wars mean more: where you stand changes what you are paid, a lost war costs your patron's fa
TL;DR Every people can have its own custom: each of the ten kindreds leans toward the traits its homeland breeds and can carry a custom of its own, and every beast kind has a trait that says what it is. A guided first day: the opening walkthrough helps better guide your first day
TL;DR The Gatherings are contests you watch: the Bards on a stage, the Ring as a sumo bout, the Hunt on the battle map. Make Camp: a rest room is a call at the fire, with the party shown round it and the card they need marked of 4, Unless someone's trait pushes you past it. Quest
TL;DR Lost is not dead: a delver lost on a quest goes missing, and may come back in one of four ways. Order the eight gear stats for each calling and each delver, and Kit them out follows your order. The Hall of Fallen names where lost kit lies, and a party can go back for it. Ev
TL;DR Formations: place each delver on a 3x3 grid, and save formations for any fight. Begin your guild in any of the six divisions, or let fate found it. Every wing at its top level chooses one of two specialisations. Escorts: guard a wagon to any town in the realm. Part-exchange
Updates derived from Feedback and Conversations from Discord & Stream Discussion. TL;DR Grudges: delvers can hold a loss against another guild, and a new Term, Long Memories, lets whole guilds hold grudges against yours. Every new injury says what caused it. Rival guilds buy
TL;DR Crowned: a new Term where the realm shrinks down until one guild is Crowned. Borrow a rival guild's spare delver from the Market. (Loans!) New Search and Transfers tabs on the Market. Three new Terms for the pace of the year to give players more time. Quests now pay double.
This is everything that has changed since v0.212. Every new line of text is in all twelve languages. Some new things added will be for bigger plans down the road but starting off now to ensure things are implemented correctly The Library and old halls The founding book is eight p
This is everything that has changed since v0.211, in full. Every new line of text is in all of the games languages. This is likely the last Patch that adds things before Next Fest so I may have added a fair bit ahead of the Early Access release to ensure returning players have mo
This is everything that has changed since v0.210, in full. Our notes for v0.210 did not list all of its changes, so the complete v0.210 list follows at the end. This has been uploaded to play now in the demo so you can see what's changed with your feedback and ideas but I'm also
The Party leader You now name who leads a party, on the Send-Off tab, or let them settle it among themselves. The default is that they settle it. Standing decides who they would pick: bonds with the party present, years at your hall, veterancy, and traits. It is not Leadership, s
The Fog: a new way to found a guild A new option when you found, beside Ironman and Power Fantasy. Trust your readers. Learn your people by watching them. Unticked, you play with full knowledge, exactly as before. In the Fog you never see your delvers' true numbers. Every attribu
