About Dwarf Things
Every day after work I put all my time into this game. It's built from scratch, without a game engine.
It's nowhere near done, but wanted to get your ideas to improve and feedback as early as possible.
If you want to give feedback, break my game, test things out in a super early alpha, join my play-test. I'll publish updates regularly.
It's more fun if we build it together.
Features
- Dig into mountains and create your cozy settlement.
- Use the resources you find to craft items, weapons, furniture, armor and potions.
- Extensive crafting system. You can use workbenches to cook provisions, craft armor, weapons and tools. Recipes include the famous: Dwarven cake, arved pumpkins, baguettes and roasted legs.
