Knock, knock, travelers!
Work on the DLC is going as steadily as Conrad the dwarf’s gait—confidently, but with the occasional stumble. Unlike that lone dwarf, though, there are many of us! We actively support each other, and thanks to our teamwork, we make up for lost steps and head straight for release!
And while we're swinging our pickaxes, we sometimes manage to dig up raw material for new diaries—which we’ll be sharing right now!
Yes, the author has spent way too much time in the dwarven lands.
Let's begin!
Golden Rule of Mining — Never Dig Down!
Otherwise, you might find yourself in quite an unfortunate situation. Endless worm tunnels all around, dozens of eggs beneath your feet, and the roar of an angry mother-worm in the distance.
It’s a grim fate even for a seasoned warrior. But if you manage to sneak past the eggs unnoticed, luck might be on your side, and you could make it back to the surface.
I saw a lycan in the sauna, turns out he was going through a hairy situation.
There’s nothing better after a long day in the development mines than a good steam bath! Bjorn has already prepared his bath towel and he’s practicing his swings while waiting for the steam room to heat up. It'll do him good—he’s looking a little pale…
Tarot Reading For the Release (Real This Time)
We asked our in-house astrologer to do a Tarot reading for the release. Then we remembered we don’t have one, so we turned to the internet for help. Here’s what the cards told us:
The Emperor
The development process is under control, with structure and order being maintained. As long as you keep a tight hand on the situation, everything will go according to plan.
Strength
Endurance and inner resilience are required from you now, but you have all the resources to overcome any challenges. The key is to stay confident and not give in to stress.
The Star
The outcome will bring hope, inspiration, and satisfaction. The DLC will leave a positive impression and might even exceed expectations.
We were quite surprised and pleased with the result—meaning everything is going as planned! And as an ancient dwarven custom has it, when everything goes all-right, we deserve an ale-night! But it's still a bit early to relax, so we'll be saving the elven brew for the release.
How About Some Chit-Chat?
Hey everyone, it’s Andrew aka Innrey!
For a while, we’ve been going through the final points of our roadmap, and it looks like we’re getting close to checking off every last one! It’s incredibly satisfying to see those crossed-out lines on our list, and even more so to realize that we’ve completed almost everything.
We’re wrapping up work on the internal build and moving onto the polishing phase of the final product. Plus, we’re just about done with the input system for controllers—which means Steam Deck and gamepad support are almost here!
Once again, a huge thank you for your continued support! We’re confident that these final touches will make the game even better, and we truly hope the end result lives up to your expectations. There’s still plenty to do, but I have a feeling this release is going to be absolutely unforgettable!
See you in the next dev diaries and don't forget to wishlist the DLC!
