In First Dwarf Demo you take on the role of Dwarf Tru and go fulfill the mission given to you by your Clan of the Northern Dwarves. Find the new and safe home for the settlers, after making sure that the uncharted lands of Driftland are ready to inhabit.

On this amazing journey you’re accompanied by a sassy Dragon, Ragna. She can help you with her fire breath and ability to fly to the various places that are out of Mech’s and Tru’s reach. Change freely through characters and use their different skills!

Fight dangerous monsters and build the greatest colony that will endure the attacks of your enemies! Build defensive walls and turrets that will help you destroy your opponents. 💥

It’s an introduction to our game, where you’ll get to know our dear characters, learn the main mechanics, like building, combat and crafting and have a great time!




You can play our Demo with a friend! Free Demo version supports local multiplayer with splitscreen as well as online multiplayer through Steam. Please keep in mind that we’re still working on it!

We're enhancing your gameplay experience with the introduction of the Drone Market and Selector in our latest update.

From the start screen of the simulator, you'll now find animated drones, detailed view and a fluid overview of our entire drone lineup. The unified interface allows you to select and collect drones seamlessly, with any paid acquisitions facilitated intuitively through the Steam overlay so make sure that you have enabled it.

More information on Market elements:



Please note that drone prices, as depicted in the example above, may vary depending on promotions and the timing of the news creation.


Under the selected drone, attributes are displayed on a scale from 0-10, along with the drone's overall value. For casual pilots and gamers, we highlight key attributes such as acceleration, stability, and agility, which are crucial in distinguishing drones as either freestyle or racing types.


Regular drone attributes

Experienced pilots can access additional details and parameters by pressing the "i" (info) button.


Regular drone detailed specification


To help users better understand each drone's classification and intended use, we've implemented a label below the drone's name indicating its group and purpose.

For example, the Whoop drone is labeled as "Micro Racing," classifying it as a racing drone in the micro division. Similarly, the Pure Racer is labeled as "Regular Racing," identifying it as a racing drone in the regular division.

In addition, attribute colors in the drone market will indicate their division affiliation. Regular drones will have attributes displayed in red, while micro drones will have attributes displayed in blue!


For both divisions of drones, we have specific scales tailored to each division. This is done to ensure that all drones have a unified scale. Otherwise, micro drones would have lower attribute values compared to regular drones. This approach guarantees the credibility of parameters depending on the drone type, as the choice of drone type determines the playable content.


Whoop drone attributes - Micro Drone (blue)

The selection of a drone and its division and purpose determine the content available for that specific drone. For instance, a racing drone can participate in racing, freestyle, challenges, and multiplayer modes, whereas a freestyle drone offers the same options except for racing.

Update notes:

• Drone Market & Selector introduction
  
• Minor change in Pure Racer visual model
  
• Reduction of prop wash intensity on Cinewhoop and Whoop drones which caused strong shakiness between 30-40% of throttle

Astor: Blade of the Monolith is out now, and we couldn’t be prouder! That said, we feel there are a few things we should go over with everyone!


First of all, Astor is our studio's first PC title and releasing a game like this as an indie studio based out of Colombia isn't easy!

As with any development process there are a lot of things we couldn't put in the game that we had wanted to, but we couldn’t be prouder of our achievements or any more grateful for those of you who have played it!

We also want to thank everyone who has put in a bug report so far, whether through steam or Discord - we’ve been looking at all of them and working hard on fixes, so keep up the good work! We’ve been learning a lot from people’s feedback and reactions so far, and we’ll be announcing news about the next update in the near future!

• You can report bugs through our Discord
  
• Or through our Steam Forum

Next up we’d like to ask a little favour of everyone who’s been playing Astor: Blade of the Monolith on Steam - please leave us a review! Every review helps get more eyes on the game, and we’d really appreciate it if you could help us out!

• You can leave a review here

Thanks so much for playing Astor, and for all the feedback!

Generals,

Katten here. Today marks the day before our 8th anniversary of Hearts of Iron IV. Eight long years on the frontlines, millions of provinces painted in strange colours, thousands of wild encirclements, and countless amazing mods have been created. This year, we also hit a significant milestone: 1.5 million monthly active users! Important Note: If you are unfamiliar with MAU, it is a behind-the-scenes metric that tracks the number of unique individuals who play the game each month.

To celebrate, we have something special planned. Last year, we teased an upcoming expansion, but I think we can do even better! This year, we are celebrating what we call Anniversary Week! Five days packed with activities, from something you've been eagerly waiting for to something you've been asking for. How long have I worked here? Never mind that. Let's get to our Anniversary Roadmap!


The Roadmap is our way of showcasing what each fun day contains during the Anniversary Celebration.

• We are starting tomorrow, June 6th, with a Top Secret Reveal that we have uncovered through an enigma cipher.
  
• On June 7th, we celebrate our Discord server hitting 100,000 Generals by giving away 500 copies of Hearts of Iron IV! More info below.
  
• On the 8th, we have a smaller secondary announcement with something you might not have been expecting.
  
• On the 9th, we are ending our giveaway and sending out the keys. But that's not all! For the fourth year in a row, we are hosting the Community Cup, this year organized by Dankus Memecus. We'll grab our popcorn and soda and watch which team takes the grand prize of €2,500. But there is still another day!
  
• On the 10th, our secondary announcement has something more to show you. After a long wait, our next War Effort Update will go live with some much-requested fixes and changes!

Now, I mentioned a giveaway above, so let's get into how you can join! First, you need to join our Discord. Second, go to the Hearts of Iron News channel and press the reaction button on our Giveaway message! If you can't see it, make sure you select the News role in the role selection process. On the 9th, we'll let the AI take the wheel and pick 500 winners, who will be automatically notified by our PDXBot, so make sure you keep your DMs open! Terms of participation are available HERE.

I think that's all for today, but wait, is that a countdown on our YouTube channel? You might want to start looking for clues on my social media accounts.
