Lord of Dwarves

Lord of Dwarves has been Released!

After over 5 years in development I'm happy to announce that Lord of Dwarves is available on Steam!
Lord of Dwarves is a survival-kingdom building game with a focus on grandiose 3D building and leading your dwarves to defend those buildings.
Guide your kingdom to ensure your dwarves survive, build, and prosper. You'll need to gather resources, secure food sources, craft weapons & armor, build structures, and defend those structures against monster raids that include sieging.



If all the content is there, why early access?
Lord of Dwarves contains all the features I set out to build over 5 years ago including a full campaign and sandbox mode. You can buy into early access knowing there there is a full game here with tons of content. But that doesn't mean it's done! I'm releasing in early access so I can improve the game even more based on player feedback. I want to hear what you think will make Lord of Dwarves a better game.

Features

  • Fully constructible/destructible 3D block world
  • Full length Campaign and Tutorial
  • Extremely customizable Sandbox mode
  • Fresh game play objectives like "build a stone tower 8 blocks tall" or "chop down an evil forest"
  • Control over 100 dwarves
  • Invaders siege your custom build structures
  • Tiered resource system allows for ever more powerful weapons, armor, & crafts
  • Random procedurally generated terrain with millions of blocks


I'll leave you with some quotes from pre-release players:
"This game is a real gem, I'm surprised nobody has found this"
"The game you have is just fantastic, awesome job"
"Nearly blew my mind when I realized I can dig underground"

Lord of Dwarves Release Date

After more than five years of development I'm excited to announce that Lord of Dwarves will release in early access on March 8, 2019.

What is the development status?
Lord of Dwarves is feature complete. The full campaign and sandbox mode are done. The game is very playable and fun.

Then why early access?
If the last five years of development has taught me anything, it's that I want to keep tweaking and balancing the game to make it even better. But I don't want those ongoing tweaks to prevent fans from playing a game which is very content full and fun. Hence early access.
You can buy into early access knowing that there is a whole game here with tons of content. Also know that you can email me with your thoughts for improvements. I want to hear what you think will make Lord of Dwarves an even better game.



I'll leave you with a quote from one of my Alpha testers.
“... there's enough playable content and depth that you probably could've gotten away with an Early Access release, but holding back and wanting to put out something of quality is a rare, but good, thing these days."
(Note: this quote references Lord of Dwarves as it was 2 years ago)
