Though the campaign and the Undead update have been released, Archer and Swordsman should finish their journey, shouldn’t they?
This time Lords in Black tour brings them to the outskirts of Niniende, the capital of Sarranga, where the band plans to give a huge concert - and willingly or not, all of the Sarranga are invited.
What will Archer and Swordsman do? How will they mess up this time? As usual, check in the video!
There’s still a couple of days left before Steam Autumn Sale ends! Don’t miss the opportunity to get the game at a 35% discount!
And don’t forget that we have DiNaO bundled with such amazing games like Thronefall and Going Medieval. Bundles provide you an additional discount!

This update brings more bugfixes and improvements - the whole list, as usual, is under the cut!
Meanwhile, the DiNaO team is going to take a month to rest and recuperate after the exhausting (though extremely fun) pre- and post-release work. But we don’t stop improving the game and will return next year with more updates! Stay tuned!

Rise and vote! Diplomacy is Not an Option goes after a reward!
Pupultas!
As you are all aware, “Diplomacy is Not an Option” and “brutal” are basically synonyms. The game is tough, unforgiving and requires a good understanding of game mechanics. And since the game has officially released this year, we can fight for the ‘Best Game You Suck At’ Steam Award! So! If you ever felt that your heart rate goes up to dangerous levels when playing the game!.. If you ever thought that a mission is impossible to complete!.. Vote for DiNaO!
Yours, the Door 407 team

About the Undead Update
Pupultas!
The time has come to be reborn as the Undead. The update adding a new story branch into the campaign is out! So, what is that about?
The Undead update adds into the game:
The Undead story branch with 5 new missions;
Unique mechanics exclusive to the Undead;
No walls — your army is your defense;
Raise zombies — a special unit under your command can raise dead enemies as zombies. You also have access to Dark Resurrection spell;
Zombies as a resource — use the acquired zombies as troops, create more powerful Undead out of them, or even recycle them into bones!
The Undead buildings can be built on defiled soil only;
New achievements;
Twitch integration updated for the Undead.
And of course there are fixes and improvements to the game in general!
So, how to start playing the new story branch? If you have played DiNaO and already reached Ozzie, you can load a special save before his cutscene — then you’ll be able to choose between supporting your current faction and the Undead. If you just started playing the campaign, you can simply continue — in one of the missions you’ll be offered to change sides.
Additionally, we are launching the Autumn Sale earlier! Starting from 19:00 CET today all Door 407 games and additional content will be available for purchase with a discount!
And don’t miss the two new bundles Diplomacy is Not an Option is now in! The first one is with Thronefall, a cute minimalistic kingdom building strategy, and the second one is with a nice medieval city sim Going Medieval. Remember, bundles can provide an additional discount!
As always, we will be waiting for your feedback!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team

Development Diary (Part 29)
Pupultas!
The Undead update is coming along nicely, and Archer and Swordsman are rushing today to check what’s going on there!
And they see total chaos: the Undead and the Sarranga are fighting, corrupted land and buildings of the Undead are everywhere. Even our main character, Snoot and Shankhar are undead now. And they call themselves Lords in Black - as if they are some cheesy metal band!
That’s how Archer and Swordsman start their undead adventure - and soon you’ll also be able to join them. As usual, we will return with more news, so stay tuned!

Abra-Cooking-Dabra Announcement
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
While the DiNaO team continues working on the Undead story branch, our other team works on Abra-Cooking-Dabra — a cozy craft & cooking card game with puzzle and management elements. Unleash your culinary talents!
But how can a card game be about cooking? Well, the cooking process in the game is simple. Get an order, get ingredients and try to cook the dish ordered. Should be easy peasy... Or not? Build and manage your cooking deck of cards, upgrade utensils, farm fresh ingredients and manage your cooking nicely to please picky guests. Every guest gives a hint of what ingredients to use in the dish they ordered, but figure out how to cook them yourself - and dishes get more complicated as you progress through levels.
Archer and Swordsman are back at it — now they are “helping” Shankhar and Lord in their family life. Yes, these two are newlyweds now. They left all the power struggle behind and moved into a small shack at the edge of the world, to live peacefully to the end of their lives…
But they didn’t account for Archer and Swordsman tagging along on their honeymoon. Now they also have to deal with their shenanigans. Which exactly - check out in the video!
