Obsidian Prince Fight through endless dungeons in a tactical, turn-based roguelike where choices have real consequences. Recruit diverse heroes and steer them to their death... *ahem*... glory. Explore and rebuild the overworld to boost your heroes and discover hidden quests and new dungeons to master.
Both titles will be available on the Steam Demo Festival which goes live at 10 am PST (in 10 minutes as of this update!)

After just over two years we have finally launched our game Meeple Station. It's been a wild ride, with many ups and downs, but we're finally here.
We're so proud of our little game and wanted to give everyone the opportunity to play it, so as of right now it's on a 25% discount AND an additional 25% off for anyone who has a copy of Regions of Ruin! (That's like 50% off dawg!) Our RoR community has always stuck by us and been mega supportive, so here's to you guys! (And the lucky scoundrels who grabbed a copy for free!)
We feel truly blessed to have such an amazing and supportive community of players following us and helping us every step of the way, we definitely wouldn't have been able to get so far if it weren't for you all!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

FREE weekend was a CRITICAL HIT!
We are stoked! There was 1,337,423 individual units claimed on the steam store FOR FREE!
To be honest I wasn't expecting a million people to be playing Regions of Ruin this week. But couldn't be happier!
It's humbling to think so many people have been affected by a simple gesture. And thanks everyone for your kind words! It's been a great weekend.
If you loved Regions of Ruin you're always welcome to stop by our Community group on Discord and say hello (Well maybe not all 1.3 million of you, that would be a bit insane!) You can chat to myself and other fans as well, if you have questions, suggestions or feedback that would also be appreciated.
Found myself scrolling through my Steam library looking to kill time and thought "Well hey, I bet heaps of people are bored as well".
Here's to all our fellow bored gamers out there looking to kill time. Grab a copy of our game completely free, no strings attached, just get it for free and have some fun! We're all weathering COVID, let's at least have some fun in the meantime.
Enjoy! (Now I'm gonna go play some more games)
ROR on Switch and a Merry Christmas to all!

We wanted to thank each of our almost HALF A MILLION (holy wow!) players that have trusted us and we'd also like to take the chance to mention that we're hard at work (or hardly working? I forget?) on Regions of Ruin 2! Expect more info on that in 2020 once we wrap Meeple Station up (soon!).

Special Announcement! - Regions of Ruin 2
Hey fellow dorfs! Dev here,
This has been a long time coming, and from all of the support we've received we knew it had to be done. We're excited to be working on our favourite little game again! And thrilled to announce that we will begin development next month.
It has been exactly one year since we released Regions of Ruin to 1.0, so today is a very fitting day to announce development on the sequel.
Development
As some of you may know, I'm the sole dev here at Vox games, and I'm working day and night on our other project, Meeple Station. We still have a long way to go, it could be another year before the lion share of work is done, however, we're financially secure enough to hire an additional developer. Which means, starting next month we will commence development on Regions of Ruin 2! And we hope to get a beta before the end of the year.
Why a sequel?
If you've completed the story in Regions of Ruin you know there is premise for another segment of the story. Some of you may also be asking "What will be so different in Regions of Ruin 2?" well I'm glad you asked, in short: a lot. Now to extrapolate on that:
Regions of Ruin was my very first project, a hobby and a means to learn more about game development. I had no intention of ever selling it or making money, it was simply a love letter to my favourite game, Dwarf Fortress. However, the scope grew and grew to the point where I realised it was becoming an actual game.
As you can imagine, the coding behind Regions of Ruin has been very stiff, it's inflexible and extremely rigid, so any content or features we want to implement are very troublesome and painfully difficult to introduce. This means, despite all of the incredible feedback and ideas we've had for ROR, we just can't practically get them all in.
Now this brings us to Regions of Ruin 2, we now have an exciting chance to start all over, write it from the ground up with far more flexible coding.
What can you expect from ROR 2?
Firstly one of my biggest heartaches in Regions of Ruin is that we could never get a map editor into the game, I always wanted players to create their own maps to share with others. One of the key features in ROR2 will be exactly that. We will create an in-game map editor so players from all over the world can create and share their own dwarven adventures!
Secondly, the entire RPG system in ROR is extremely unbalanced. I sorely regret that I haven't been able to properly balance the progression and difficulty of the game. A lot of you have noticed this, as the further you get the more over powered you become. This is a real mess and too complicated to explain here, but it's an important feature we want to fix in ROR2, which means levelling from 1- 100 (or more) and a steady, predictable (linear) levelling curve with careful balancing to items and mobs. This also means a large overhaul to the skill tree, we want to change this up to be completely flexible from level 1, so you can switch your skills around at anytime and not get locked out of any content (Also a much larger skill tree).
Thirdly, destructible and customisable terrain. Yes yes, there are lots of things that you can smash apart and beat into oblivion in Regions of Ruin, but that's not enough, we want to make as much of the terrain destructible as we can. Possibly even the ground itself. Also, buildings and constructions, we want to make them modular, so you can literally build your structures where and how you want.
Lastly, we want to improve on just about everything in some way or another. From town building, to combat, we want everything to be polished into a much finer experience, and give players the chance to create and introduce their very own content, whether it be mods for new enemies, items, terrain or entire maps.
Our Goal
Currently in Regions of Ruin there is around 20 hours of total content to get through, but once you've finished it, there really isn't much more to do. Our goal for ROR2 is that once you finish the 20 hours of main content, you can then select your hero and travel to a new land and explore a new map with new enemies and new quests. We hope when the community gets together we'll see enough user made maps to keep you occupied for a lifetime.
We are very excited for the future of Regions of Ruin, and hope you are too!
The hats are dead!
Hey Dorfs! Dev here,
We've finally removed those resilient Santa hats! We updated the game four times in an attempt to remove them, but each time they kept crawling back in. But this time it looks like they're gone for good!
We're gearing up for some huge developmental changes this year, and are very excited to announce some new ventures! Stay tuned :D
Oh, and sorry (not really) to all of you who hated the seasonal apparel :P
