| Game update | [Alpha 0.2.1] - Fixed highdpi & updated to SDL3 HighDPI should work (tested on MacOS, Wayland and Windows). With a bit of luck steam deck will work too :). Other than that, I am working on making recipes more meaningful as well as a proper progression tree. This is still being worked on, but so far we have: - Adjusted recipe for CrudeWorkbench, Woodsmith, SawMill. - Added items: Workbench Table, SawBlade There will be more to come here as I… | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.2.0.1 I messed up loading move item commands. This will work now! | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.2.0 - Dwarves can bite I've been away for a week with my actual job so this update is a small one. It brings the combat log, some goodies in fights as well as some enhancements to tasks. Added · Dwarves can bite (and so do cats, dogs). Desperate times call for desperate measures in a fight! · Added a combat log so you can see who does damage to what. Poor Crinkle: I also added multi-layer selection! Tasks now by defa… | 24766227 | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.1.9.1 - Cats attack elves Added a missing feature from the previous build that I promised. Elves now are attacked by cats or dogs. I also changed the elves to not re-use the goblin sounds (but have different ones when hurt / dying). | — | |
| In-game event | Alpha 0.1.9 - Elf Invasions You'll see a strange wood structure. Nothing happens around it for a while until elves start spawning. Elves are tiny thieves. They don't fight you but steal gold, iron, food and many other things. Once they are done stealing they will run towards their port. Other changes · With elves comes the coward trait. Dwarves with this trait avoid combat at all costs. · You can also delete stockpiles if… | 24511812 | |
| In-game event | Alpha 0.1.8 - Windmills and flour I have added windmills to the game. For now, they are used to craft flour from grains that are harvested on fields. Flour can then be used to bake bread. Bread, as we all know is also the main ingredient of a dwarven cake. Has to be done in strawberry season! Fields also now can give more seeds back so you can continue growing them past the first crop. This is also the first update which has an… | 24390799 | |
| In-game event | Alpha 0.1.7 - Dwarves fainting and seasonal graphics Dwarves can now build hay beds to sleep on. They are available early in the game and while a hay bed won't give the same comfort as a proper dwarven bed, they allow dowarves to recover more energy (and faster) than just fainting out of exhaustion and sleeping on the ground. Be careful if you're constructing beds out in the open if your dwarves are allergic to water! As you can see through the i… | 24190111 | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.1.6.2 Fix: - Fixed as allowed worker offsets not being saved & loaded anymore since `Alpha 0.1.6`. This would mean tasks after load wouldn't get completed since dwarves didn't know where to sit to finish a crafting task. From here on, this should patch even saves that were buggy some values. | — | |

| In-game event | [Alpha 0.1.5] Added - Apples can be harvested from apple trees. - Dwarves can get perks now. Hardcoded for all for now "Allergic to water". They get damaged by rain and don't need to drink water to survive. - When raining, dwarves run to cover if one is available (e.g. in a cave). - Render cells as full black if not exposed to light (to prevent seeing through terrain) Fixed - Dwarves who die in their sleep w… | 24026739 | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.1.4 Added - Season textures for winter for all things. - Brick walls now modify terrain cells. They are terrain which simplifies a bunch of stuff (e.g. things can be built on top of them). - Destroying walls them will turn them back to Stone / Clay - Adjusted quality of exported sounds. | 23945973 | |

You can now cancel multiple tasks at once. - Fixed: Building items in areas they shouldn't be (colliding with terrain) or items. - Fixed: Could construct buildings on top of each other. - Fixed: Iron ore cells were the wrong color. - Fixed: Build scaffolding (green/red) shouldn't spawn light emitters when placing down tasks - Fixed: Can't select thro… | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.1.0.1 - Fixed a crash that can manifest after a load where you try to dig through a cell that has been deleted before the save. | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.1.0 - Awarded save breaker! - Added berries, blueberries - Added gold ores, iron ores, gold bars, iron bars and diamonds - Fixed: dead dwarves snoring. | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.12 Nothing much on this one, but had to fix a crash on loading a malformed save. Also fixed the code that would generate said malformed save. Optimized load speed. Walls now block paths of dwarves (no more dwarves getting stuck inside walls) | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.0.10 Alpha 0.0.10 New stuff · Added Clay blocks. These can be now made into brick walls. Stone can be made into walls too. · Sawmill where logs can be changed into planks. · Added a bunch of descriptions for the items and menu bars (trees, pumpkins, brick walls). · Made new menu bar icons and icons for time speed controls. · Weather effects starter. Rain can start in a few days with a random chance.… | 23608107 | |

| Game update | Alpha 0.0.7.1 I broke cleaning tasks so this update fixes it. Sorry all :) | — | |
| Game update | Alpha 0.0.7 If you can crash the game when saving/loading you're getting your portrait in the hall of fame. Starting from this alpha build (0.0.7) saves should never ever break. The next build, Alpha 0.0.8 will include said hall of fame so let's not keep it empty. Criteria: 1) Save should be from Alpha 0.0.7 or newer. 2) It should crash the game when loaded (or broken)! 3) You send me the save on discord (… | 23274535 | |
