Today, we’re bringing you a bundle of improvements for building (including the recently added Align Mode) and various other parts of First Dwarf. We’ve also removed the need to connect Ancient Ports to mana for them to function. Now, the main challenge for Ancient Ports is to supply them with Blue Stones, and we plan to deepen this part of the game in the future! 🙂
As for the future, next important improvements after this update will introduce a smaller grid, which should greatly enhance the building experience! 🙂 We're also improving the crossbow, making shooting more engaging and just simply cool. 😃This is just a little tease for you! 🙂 There are lots of other things we’ll be adding and improving, but we don’t want to spoil them just yet. However, if you’re curious, feel free to ask me about them on our discord 🙂
