Hey, 👋
Looking for a strategy game that’s a little different from the usual "build, fight, repeat" routine? Driftland: The Magic Revival might be just what you need. It's not about micromanaging every unit - here, you’re the mastermind, pulling the strings of fate (and islands) from above. 🪄✨ It’s a relaxed strategy experience for those who love taking their time, thinking ahead, and experimenting with original tactics. The game won’t hold your hand - it’s up to you to shape your path to victory. 🚀
But wait, there’s more... 👀
Driftland’s story may be complete, but the tale of Driftland’s world continues in First Dwarf. If you loved commanding from the clouds, imagine walking the lands yourself. 🏞️ In First Dwarf, you’ll be in the heart of the action - building settlements 🏠, battling enemies ⚔️, and exploring a world that’s every bit as magical (and dangerous) as Driftland. Oh, and this time, you’re building walls (not just links) and commanding from the 3rd-person perspective. 🕹️
Curious? Check out this video showcasing what’s new in the latest update for First Dwarf - fresh content, new features, and all the good stuff you’d expect from a world born from Driftland’s legacy. 🎉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714900/First_Dwarf/
Take a look. If you’re a fan of Driftland, First Dwarf is worth keeping an eye on. 🔥 Who knows, you might just discover your next adventure.
What's so special about Driftland?
🌌 Floating Islands, Your Rules - Shift and link floating islands to reshape the map as you see fit. Need a shortcut to your enemy? Build it. 🏗️ Want to claim distant resources? Connect it. 🔗 The world’s literally in your hands. 👐
✨ Wield Magical Powers - No need to scream orders - just weave a little magic. 🔥💨 Use powerful spells to bend the world to your will and turn the tides of battle. ⚡
🎁 Tame and Ride Mythical Beasts - Get your troops on the back of flying creatures 🦅 and send them off into the unknown. No roads, no problem. 🗺️

Driftland’s World Expands at Tokyo Game Show 2024
Dear Mage-rullers!🧙🏼♀️🧙🧙🏿♀️🧝
I’m Michał, the creator of the shattered world of Driftland. First, a huge thank you to our ❤️fantastic community❤️ for all the time we've spent together in Driftland: The Magic Revival. Your support has been incredible!
I’m excited to invite you to our next adventure in this universe. In First Dwarf, you’ll explore our broken planet from a new perspective—through the eyes of Tru and Ragna rather than a mage-ruler.
As you can see, First Dwarf isn’t a real-time strategy game like Driftland: The Magic Revival, but we’ve once again blended multiple genres to bring you something new. ⚔️✨
First Dwarf is an immersive action-RPG colony survival game with base building and tower defense 🏰 mechanics, set in a fantasy open world, sprawling across islands floating over the planet's core. The game will challenge your survival and exploration skills as you take control of two heroes, Tru and Ragna, equipped with a mana-powered mech and an airship.
Unlike Driftland, where your actions were from the perspective of a mage-ruler 🧙♂️, here you’ll have the freedom to explore the shattered world firsthand. Combat has also evolved significantly. You can now take direct control of the action, surrounding your villages with defensive walls 🛡️ and mana-powered turrets while also engaging in the fight yourself. Plus, First Dwarf offers both online co-op and local split-screen, so you can team up with a friend to defend your bases and explore together.
You can gather resources manually ⛏️, but as you build villages and recruit settlers from different clans, it becomes far more efficient to construct magically powered buildings to extract resources automatically. Just remember to establish a mana pipe network to power your structures and keep everything running smoothly!
We’ve wrapped what you loved about Driftland—the strategic depth, resource management, and defense—into a new kind of adventure that will test both your tactical and exploration skills.
If you're at TGS, meet us at Hall 10, Booth A09 in the Selected Indie 80 area. We’d love to chat with you! And yes, you’ll be able to high-five both me and Krzysiek, our technical designer and lead programmer!
May your lands remain unshattered, - Michał of Star Drifters Team 🧙🏼♀️🧙🧙🏿♀️🧝
Scorchlands 1.0 is OUT NOW!
Hi Mages!
We are proud to announce that the full release of our friend game Scorchlands is out now! After many months of development in Early Access, with 95% positive reviews on Steam, we’re more than ready for the final launch. You can grab Scorchlands 1.0 version at a great price 5,99$!
We couldn’t have done it without your support! Thank you so much for all the feedback we’ve received from you and for your positive response to our project. We have read it all and 90% of it made its way to the game! We could say that you helped us hatch! 🐣
The demo version has also been updated, so if you’d like to try Scorchlands first and see if it’s a game for you, make sure to download it from Steam page!
Below you can see our completely NEW trailer celebrating the launch. Enjoy!
If you’re new to Scorchlands, here is what you should know about the key game features:
Hex grid-based city-building – construct various buildings in your colonies. Each structure's productivity depends on neighboring resources and other constructions.
Complex resource management – it’s not only about extracting materials. Scorchlands takes account of logistics – the movement of resources between colonies and combining them in robust processing chains. And yes, we move resources using LASERS!
Terraforming for the greater good – use magic and technology to change the biomes on procedurally generated maps and exploit the new environment to gain its unique resources
Technology designed to give fun – there’s no fun in a sandbox if you don’t have the toys to play with. The technology system in Scorchlands is key for player progression and new discoveries open up new ways to play with the game world
Minimalistic combat system – when you get into a fight, positioning will be the key. Destroy your enemies by surrounding them and placing your forces in optimal locations.
And for the gamers that are regularly checking our updates, we have a reminder about all the new features available now in the final version of the game:
Join our Discord server if you want to be up to date with everything that’s going on!
New languages
Scorchlands now supports 53 languages! We always care about your experience and want to add as many translations as we can.

Available bundles
You know that we love Steam bundles! We want to thank all the wonderful devs for collaborating with us. This time we partnered with these amazing games:
No better time than summer to make a trip to the moon! This city builder like no other will test your logical thinking through complex puzzles. Make the most of your production chains. Explore and exploit all of the biomes. Make use of new technologies, set up logistic networks with giant lasers and, most importantly, have fun! You have all the time in the universe, so experiment as much as you want with different mechanics.
Buy Scorchlands and become the greatest birdfolk leader in the universe!
Thank you and have a great time! Ringlab 🐦 and Star Drifters Team 🌟🚀

First Dwarf - Letter from the Star Drifters Team
Dear Driftland fans,
Creating First Dwarf is a beautiful journey that doesn’t end on June 19th. We are a small team of passionate developers that have very big plans for our game and we see a great potential, ready to be explored further together with you.
Your feedback is crucial - we already had a great experience with your overwhelming response during our Playtests and Demo - over 1200 people filled our feedback survey. We can’t even properly put into words how grateful we are for that. Thanks to you, First Dwarf can be better and better with each day.
We’re not taking down our Demo, so you can test it out yourself for free and see if you like the game. Along with all the information from the Living Road Map and this post, you can make the decision if you want to purchase First Dwarf right now or maybe wait for further updates. We want you to have a clear view of what you can expect from the game at the moment.
Let’s talk about our Early Access.
Why Early Access
We want First Dwarf to be a community driven game. We know that there is still a long way to perfecting our title, we have a lot of things to yet implement and revise. So there may be bugs, there may be things you won’t like and we’ll be there all the time to change it and fix it when needed. We want to pursue an open development strategy between the gamers and us.
That’s why we’re really counting on you in terms of feedback, involvement and suggestions, we want to be on the same page in terms of important development points. We’d love to continue developing the game together with you and we’re extremely thankful for your help.
Origin of First Dwarf
We are a small indie studio with an office in Warsaw. First Dwarf is the project we’re working on for quite a few years now. To tell you about the origin of our new game, we need to disclose a little more info about our previous title, Driftland: The Magic Revival.
The idea of Driftland came from the premise of wanting to create a completely original and new fantasy world. It also started as an Early Access game, first there weren’t even any campaign missions. The game surely benefitted from EA and we saw that people were really invested in the story we have created along the way during development. They wanted more and we wanted to explore this universe further just like them.
That’s when the idea of First Dwarf appeared. Opposed to Driftland, which was a RTS, it gives us more freedom in exploring the fantastic world of floating islands. This time we’re thrown straight into the action and not just hovering above it. First Dwarf is a spin-off of a beloved game and expands the already existing universe.
Most of the team that worked on Driftland, is also working on First Dwarf. This project is very close to our hearts and we hope that with your help it can blossom into a wonderful game.
Living Road Map
We want to be transparent with what you can expect from our game in its current state. At first, you’ll get two islands in Early Access. Second island is much bigger and clearing it will take you more time. Our main next goal will be adding the third island.
Below, you can see the full Living Road Map. Living, because as we said, we'll be carefully listening to your feedback during the Early Access. If you believe that something needs to be changed or added and is not included in our plan, please tell us about it. Or if you think that some points from our map are more important than the others, tell us that too. We’ll be adjusting our plan to your suggestions, so that the game will develop with our and your expectations alike.
That’s why we’re asking you directly for your help. We believe that Early Access is a good step forward that will give us a boost for a further development of First Dwarf. Thank you so much for being with us and we hope that you’ll have a great time with us on this journey.
Take care and thank you,
Kuba - CEO Star Drifters Team

First Dwarf Dev Update - Choose your weapon!
Hi, Dwarves! 🧔♂️
As always, many things are happening right now in our studio! We’re here today with a showcase of weapons you can obtain in our game! So if you’re eager to take care of some dangerous monsters… This might interest you!
Did you join our Playtest? 😎
Little reminder! You still have the whole weekend to play our game by joining our Playtest! Request access on our First Dwarf Steam page and HAVE FUN!
You can join our Discord server to leave us additional feedback (we would love that!), take part in our ongoing contest for THE BEST colony and win a reward!
Time is ticking as the Playtest officially ends on April 8th 3PM (CEST).
Good ol’ Pickaxe
We’re starting off with our loyal pickaxe! Which is great in dealing with persisting bullies. It’s also very helpful in gathering precious resources, like wood and stone. A perfect two in one!
But everyone needs some changes from time to time, right? Further in the game, you can find…
Battle Axe
Well, you can’t mine with that, but it’s a fair exchange for this POWERFUL weapon! It’s best for quick combat, when you’re running short of time. Made with help of Eskoim technology.
Hammer
If you really want to serve those monsters a 💥PUNCH💥 the hammer may be the way to go. It’s slower than other weapons, but its strength is irreplaceable.
Tru’s Hammer
Don’t ever think that our main hero is hopeless without his mech! Tru is a brave and strong dwarf that can take care of dangerous enemies on his own, if needed.
Blunderbuss
Sometimes, you just want to keep your distance. And that’s fine! Here to your aid comes a blunderbuss! A firearm with a short, large caliber barrel. It’s attached to the left arm of our mech.
Crossbow
Another distance weapon that can be applied to the mech is a crossbow. A neuroballistic projectile weapon consisting of a bow embedded in a stock.
Which one is your favorite?
What do you think, which one will be the best for you to fight with? As the game progresses, you will be able to upgrade your weapons and obtain unique to them helpful skills.
Of course, we’re still implementing more of our ideas into the game, so it’s possible for more weapons to come…
Watch out!
You can fight with the most powerful weapon, but sometimes it’s best to dodge some attacks to avoid unnecessary damage. Yes, you can also block the strike coming your way, but you might want to distance yourself from the enemy rather than standing so close. And you can do it easily, even with a heavy mech.
Same goes for Ragna! Her quick dodge is a wonderful sight. Avoid the monster attacks, no matter if you’re on land or in the air.
Powerful Dash
What, did you think that that’s all? No, no! Here we present to you: dash.
Feeling cornered? Use the powerful dash to charge at your enemies! Damage all monsters standing in your path.
Summing it up!
We want the combat system to be a great experience for the players. Remember that hitting those combos will help you with the most efficient way to fight!
Please keep in mind that the game is still a work in progress, so some things listed here may change. Thank you for your understanding! 😊
Tell us what is your fighting style? Do you prefer a weapon able to strike quickly or is a slower, but stronger one better in your opinion? Close combat or distancing yourself? We’re very curious!
💕 Expand your wishlist 💕
As we mentioned in one of our previous updates, adding our games to your wishlists on Steam helps us A LOT! We’d be super happy if you could add there First Dwarf: First Island (our upcoming free prologue to First Dwarf)!
As always, we’re very grateful for your support and all the feedback we’re still receiving from all of you! We’ll be back soon with more news and updates, as we still work very hard on our title. Thank you!
And don't forget, that we're also active on many social media! Come visit us!
We hope that you had a wonderful time this past week! In this announcement we would like to do a summary of how it looked like for us.
6 days until the end! Join today!
We’re thrilled seeing how many of you decided to play First Dwarf during our first Playtest! The amount of feedback we got is positively overwhelming and we’re keeping track of it all the best we can. Thank you! We’ll analyze everything to make our game even better! 📝
BUT if you still haven't joined our Playtest, don’t worry, because you still have time to do it! And it’s super simple - just go to the First Dwarf’s Steam page and click “Request Access”! We’re closing the access on April 8th.
Ongoing Contest!
If you’re following us, you could have already seen our announcement regarding the ongoing contest for THE BEST colony! The rules are pretty easy - join our Playtest, build an awesome settlement, take a screenshot and post it on a dedicated #🌟challenge🌟 channel on our First Dwarf Discord server!
The winners will get a FREE KEY to one of our previous games - Driftland: The Magic Revival! It's a perfect way to get to know the Driftland world. And if you already have it, don't worry, we'll think of something else! Another game maybe? 👀
You have time until the end of the Playtest (April 8th 3PM CEST), so still plenty to build a beautiful colony!
💞 Add to Your Wishlist! 💞
If you wish to support us further, consider adding First Dwarf to your wishlist on Steam, along with our new page First Dwarf: First Island! (A free introduction to our game!). This way, we can show the world the power of dwarven enthusiasts. We would be very grateful for that!
We love chatting with you and we’re over the moon that you’re enjoying our Playtest! We also adore seeing your gameplays, feel free to post it on your social media, tag us and even post in on our Discord server! Seeing how you play First Dwarf gives us even more insight!

Accompanied by an informative voice over, you can dive into the fantasy world of Driftland and see the most up to date mechanics, graphics and systems that we’ve been working on! It’s a great opportunity to get to know the specifics of our game in a very detailed way. 🛠🤖

First Ever First Dwarf Playtest
And without further ado… Today is a BIG day for us! If you’ve been following our Community Hub and our social media, you could’ve heard about sign-ups for our Playtests. But in case you somehow didn’t get the memo, don’t worry! Put on your dwarven shoes anyway, because you can still join us! Just go to the Steam page of First Dwarf and click “Request Access” 🎯
Who will get access?
Everyone who signed-up will participate! 🎉 So no worries, it doesn't matter if you requested it right after our announcement, or even after the Playtest started, you’ll be able to play First Dwarf. 🎉
When does the Playtest start and end?
Playtests are open from March 25th 3PM (CET) to April 8th 3PM (CEST). We’re going to give access to the game to everyone who signed-up. In this time window, you can still request access to the game. After April 8th, the Playtests will be closed, gamers will lose their access to the game, but there is a possibility of a second round in the future.
What exactly is the Playtest and why are we organizing it?
Steam Playtest is a wonderful feature that lets us give access to the game to the players who are willing to try it out in its current state. Our main reason for this, is willingness to receive as much feedback as we can, before launching the final game. We believe that the thoughts and opinions of our community will help us shape the game together and create something truly brilliant. We deeply care about this project, as it’s related to our first game, Driftland: The Magic Revival, and we are over the moon that we have the opportunity to expand this magical world even further. That’s why we need YOUR HELP!
But how can I help?
Well, that’s super easy! After getting access to the game…just play the game! That’s phase number one. And phase number two, is…
Leave your Feedback!
There are 3 places where you can report bugs, issues and leave feedback!
First method is:
First Dwarf Discord server
We highly encourage you all to leave us your feedback, even if it’s just a few words (but the more you say, the better, of course!). You can do it in our First Dwarf Discord server, which we already upgraded with special channels for the Playtest. If you already are on our Discord, you know that it’s really fun there!
We added two new channels specifically for this event:
playtest-feedback - that’s the place where you can tell us EVERYTHING you want after you played our game. Positive and negative feedback, all of that is welcome. You can tell us about the smallest things, regarding music, characters, dialogues, mechanics, systems, bugs… Every topic is a good topic, as long as it’s related to the First Dwarf Playtest. We can’t wait to chat with you about your experiences with our title!
opt-in-credits - here you can read the steps of what to do, to be included in our game’s credits! It’s a little “thank you” from us, for all your help. By leaving your invaluable feedback, you’re becoming an important part of our big adventure! You’ll find there the link to the form we prepared earlier, where you’ll be able to drop your nickname. No offensive names of course, those won’t be included.
Second method for leaving feedback:
In the game itself, as seen below
Probably the fastest way to report a bug is located directly in the game. An automatic save file is also attached to the report you make (but you won't see it, so don't panic!), so we have the best understanding of the issue. However, keep in mind that we won’t be able to respond to you there. We will receive the information, but to hear back from us or to engage in conversation, it’s best to use Discord.
Third method to leave feedback:
Steam Discussion dedicated to the event
We made a pinned thread in the Steam Discussions titled 🐛 Playtest Bug Reports 🐛, where you can report your bugs from the Playtest.
Fill the Form!
If you’re not sure how to phrase what’s in your mind, we prepared a simple form to fill, which may help you transfer your thoughts into words and inspire you in terms of what to be aware of while playing. After leaving your feedback, you can also write your preferred name to be put in the credits there, it’s optional.
Please have in mind that the game is still in progress and so are the languages, so translations may have some mistakes. We apologize for that. They are in beta version, and will be improved with time. You can change the language in the game’s menu options! Texts and dialogues can also be altered later, if necessary.
Can I stream my game?📸
YES! Feel free to tag us and show off on our Discord server, we would love to see it! You can freely post about it on your social media. Even more! You can use our Press Kit, if you wish:
The best part! What’s awaiting you during our Playtest? Well, let us tell you!
You’ll be playtesting an introduction to our game, First Dwarf. Take on the role of Tru, chosen to be the First Dwarf and his sassy dragon companion Ragna. Your mission is to build a new colony on the freshly discovered island, but first, you need to make sure that the area is safe to inhabit. Gather resources, build your base and fortify your colony, before the evil monster wave attacks! Fight your enemies by placing defensive turrets and engaging in direct combat. Complete your quests and send the raven to the awaiting dwarves, so they can arrive at their new home. Will you and your people survive in this new environment? 🧔♂️🐉
❤️ Add to Your Wishlist ❤️
We’re also preparing an advanced special version of Demo, titled First Dwarf: First Island. We highly encourage you to add it to your Wishlist (it has its own Steam Page) as well as the final First Dwarf game. We will give more information soon! It will help us show the world that the love people have for dwarves is immeasurable.
And that’s basically it! Easy, right? If you have ANY additional questions, don’t be afraid and ask us on our Discord server or in the comments. We hope to discuss with you many, many different topics and create a wonderful game together!
Have fun playing First Dwarf and see you in our Discord server!
Yours, Star Drifters Team ✨🚀
First Dwarf Dev Update - What’s your specialty? A little bit about guilds 🛠
Hi, Dwarves! We’re slowly but surely approaching the date of our upcoming playtests of First Dwarf!
Short Recap 👇
In case you missed that: you can already sign-up on our Steam page and when your calendar sets on March 25th, we’ll be waiting for your feedback on our Discord server! You can join the Discord event, so you’ll be notified right away when the game will be available to play. 🎮
Hard work in our studio never stops and today we would like to walk you through a very important part of our game. We’re gonna talk about guilds!
Our dear Tru himself, is from the guild of Pioneers. They’re experienced with building and maintaining mechs. Looking at the whole picture, there is no surprise that the First Dwarf has been selected from this particular guild. Who would be a better mech pilot, than someone who creates them!
They are the first guild to arrive on our first colonized island.
Each guild has some unique touches to it, Pioneers carry a lot of tools in case there would be a mech malfunction. Better safe than sorry. Tru’s mother is a perfect example of a dwarven woman from a Pioneer guild. Little magnifying glass and a full equipped belt. What do you think? Beard or no beard?
Their image is not the only thing distinctive for the guild. Each of them has their own special buildings, too.
Thanks to that, we can learn new things, get upgrades and skills related to their field of specialization. Pioneers can help us upgrade our mech armor. Hunters can teach us how to get more food resources and Shipsmakers can help us upgrade our flying ship. Discover new ways to make life on islands the best possible!
Of course, that’s not all of the present guilds that you will encounter on your path. There are also Scientists - they can teach us mainly about science related upgrades, Naturalists, who will help us unlock new recipes, Carpenters, Miners, Scholars, Explorers and Craftsfolks!

Results:
Most answers 1 - Pioneers - Tru’s family guild. They have the biggest experience with building and maintaining mechs, passed down from generation to generation. Their Technology is top notch.
Most answers 2 - Shipsmakers - Used to specialize in crafting ships for the Dwarven fleet. Now their land is out of precious resources and they need to find new places to continue their craftsmanship.
Most answers 3 - Scientists - the smartest dwarves of Tru’s clan. You can ask them about anything science related and they will help you without any doubts. Or at last start their new research.
Most answers 4 - Naturalists - Did someone say “food”? You can’t fight with an empty stomach, that’s for sure. They can help you with new recipes of consumable items. And it’s not just about the taste, but the vital benefits for the body, too!
Most answers 5 - Hunters - They can handle themselves in the wild. Fierce and brave, they can help you with supplying enough food ingredients for your Clan.
