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

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!


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).

[discord.gg]
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…


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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…


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.


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.


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!


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)!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2865680/First_Dwarf_First_Island/


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!

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1714900/announcements/detail/4194613560101061596?snr=2___

You have time until the end of the Playtest (April 8th 3PM CEST), so still plenty to build a beautiful colony!

Star Drifters Team 🚀

How are you today, Dwarves? Excited as we are? We sure hope so! 🍀🌟


Let’s start with some amazing news! IGN released a 15 minute long video with the newest gameplay of First Dwarf! 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. 🛠🤖

You can check it out below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yo2cw3P3AE


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” 🎯


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. 🎉


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.


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!


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…


There are 3 places where you can report bugs, issues and leave feedback!

• 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!

[discord.gg]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.

• 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.

• 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.


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.

Feedback Form First Dwarf[forms.gle]


We deeply care about your experience with First Dwarf and that’s why we prepared additional languages for the Playtest. Which include:

Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish - Spain, French, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese - Portugal, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese.

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.


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:

First Dwarf Press Kit[drive.google.com]


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? 🧔‍♂️🐉


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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2865680/First_Dwarf_First_Island/


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 ✨🚀

Hi, Dwarves! We’re slowly but surely approaching the date of our upcoming playtests of First Dwarf!


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! Each guild is unique and its knowledge is irreplaceable during our adventure.


Let’s see which dwarven guild would you belong to in Driftland! Count the letters assigned to each answer and check the results at the end!

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.

What did you get? Happy with the outcome?

Mages! 🧙‍♂️

As you may already know, currently we’re working on our new title. It’s an immersive action RPG, where you take on the role of a scouting dwarven engineer and pilot a giant mech in search of a safe place for new colonies.

And it takes place in the world of Driftland! So if you enjoyed the twisted stories of Driftland: The Magic Revival, you may like First Dwarf, as it expands the lore of the magical planet. Explore the floating islands like never before!

Yes, yes, you read that right! We are organizing the first ever playtests of First Dwarf. 🛠
As we are entering the most intense stage of development, we’re asking you for your help.

While the rest will wait for the official premiere, you can be one of the special players able to play before the release and help us shape the game into something amazing!


We would like to start the playtests on 25th of March.


Starting right now, everyone can sign up for our playtests! We enabled an option on our Steam page, where you can sign up for the testing.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714900/First_Dwarf/


Play a big part in our development and we will show you our deep gratitude. Gamers helping us during the playtests will have a chance to see their nickname in the game credits! In order to do that, you’ll have to grant us your permission and tell us your nickname in the selected Discord channel.

Sometimes we can see you having trouble with experiencing the multiplayer gameplay with your friends. We’re here to explain why it might be so and hopefully help you start your very own session of Driftland.


Driftland: The Magic Revival does not hold any servers. Multiplayer works on a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) basis. It means that the game is hosted by one of the players’ computers (the host) and relies on the players’ online network.

Here you can’t see any sessions found. And that’s normal, if no one is hosting the game and waiting for players to join. The session won’t be visible to any gamers, if the host has already started the game with other players.

There is no possibility to join the gameplay that has already started. Your friends have to specifically wait for you in the lobby, so you can join them.

After clicking “HOST” at the very bottom, you can change the specifics of your session, such as Game Mode, Victory Options and others. You can also create a password for your game, if you don’t want any strangers playing with you. After changing everything to your liking, click the “HOST” button once again.


This will take you to the lobby. That’s the exact moment your friends can join your session. If you set up the password earlier, other players can join by typing it in (above the refresh button, at the bottom left corner). If there is no password, your session will be visible for them from the start after entering the Multiplayer mode.

And that’s basically it! After everyone joins the game, you can click “READY”. If all the players mark themselves as ready to play, the game launches.

Multiplayer still not working 💭

You need to make sure that the Steam client has full internet access and is not blocked by a firewall or some anti-virus program. If this requirement is met, you should easily see yourself in the lobby. However, there is a second possibility - you can use Steam invitations to create a network game. Send an Invite to your friend before they run their copy and let them join from there. There is also a chance that a great physical distance (like trying to play from America with someone from Asia) may cause troubles in connection.

We hope that this clears some things up! ☀
