This will unlock the ability to haul items such as these to workshops for processing into other resources, forming the basics of the economy and production chain. In terms of development updates, I'm working on having the dwarves carry around resources such as stone and logs. So if you want to get your hands on the game you know what to do! We'll only email you once from this email list - we all hate spam as much as you do! That being said, signing up to be notified in this way means we'll have the momentum we'll need to make a success out of Kickstarter, and ultimately, the game itself. If you haven't already, it would mean a lot to us if you sign up to our Kickstarter notification list and we'll let you know the moment we go live. This means we're now aiming at February for the first playable prototype of the game, with a view to launching on Kickstarter around April - May. ![]() It's unfortunate, but better to wait a little longer for the right vision of the game, rather than a rushed release to meet an arbitrary deadline.

We're in the process of looking for a replacement sprite artist and it looks like we're close to finding the right replacement. The bad news is that Dave Rigley, the animator and artist responsible for the in-game character sprites (and upcoming resources) has had to pull out of the project due to personal commitments. There's more good news in that the extremely talented Jordan Chin has composed and produced his first track for King under the Mountain, hopefully with more to follow! You may recognise Jordan's work from his contributions to the Materia Collective such as MATERIA: Final Fantasy VII Remixed which I'm a big fan of, and it's a delight to have Jordan contributing his talents to the game! Start Anew is intended as a piece of background music to be played while the player is peacefully building up their settlement. These adventures can be thought of as classic RPG-style dungeon crawls through player-generated content that will make up one of the major gameplay goals of King under the Mountain, so watch out for more info on this in the future! Check out Anthony's concept of an orc in this world for a sneak peek of what might be nextĬoncept art of a subterranean dwarven settlement This both introduces orcs as one of the other playable races and the concept of dispatching small teams of heroes or champions to go on an adventure to other player's creations. Although this concept mostly focuses on dwarven structures and underground flora (like the giant mushrooms), you may notice a small party discovering the settlement on the left side of the image. I'll start with the good news - Anthony Avon (the concept artist for King under the Mountain) has finished the second major piece of concept art, this time depicting a dwarven settlement in one of the massive caverns that make up the underground sections of the world.
