WHAT IS DWARVENKIND
Dwarvenkind is a sci-fi fantasy, extraction RPG in a pre-alpha stage of active development. The game is centered on a technologically advanced dwarven civilization emerging after 25,000 years of isolation beneath the earth. Built around deliberate gameplay and smart risk assesment, the game emphasizes strategic resource management, procedural level exploration, and layered progression systems.

THE SETTING:
The surface world is hostile, overrun by greenskins with independently evolved weaponry and tactics, while dwarves emerge from a single surviving hold with perfected tech, intent on reclaiming the lost world.

TECH LEVEL
The dwarves wield refined technology equivalent to mid-21st century standards—modular gear, advanced metallurgy, and adaptive systems. They deploy engineered solutions to reclaim and reshape the surface.
-
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Player agency is paramount. Systems are meant to be layered but intuitive, rewarding timing, improvisation, and strategic adaptation. Every mechanic is designed to support emergent solutions and expressive play.
Some of the tools I've developed to make this possible
-
GAMEPLAY
Players explore procedural biomes to mine vital resources, uncover lost lore, and confront escalating threa. Combat is tactical and avoidable; stamina, mana, and health are finite and only recover through rest.

THE ENEMY
Greenskins dominate the surface through relentless tribal warfare and brutal innovation. Their weapons are crude but deadly, shaped by thousands of years of conflict. Short-lived and aggressive, they thrive in chaos and resist any lasting order.

DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
I build everything in public—even the rough parts. What I show isn’t curated; it’s real. I'm a firm believer in open development. Honest systems and visible progress lead to better design, clearer decisions, and a game that earns its place.
I've detailed the overall scope and project vision here
In short:
Dwarvenkind is a tactical RPG about reclaiming a world with technology, magic, and conviction—where every tool is engineered, every decision matters, and every step is earned.

HOW TO SUPPORT
Ongoing development
I’m releasing systems built for this game as asset packs, starting with a game-ready, battle-tested weapon kit built for real production. If you work on anything fantasy or medieval, it’ll hold up.
On Patreon I post deeper breakdowns on design, lore, and systems—devlogs that don't fit on social media. Nothing’s paywalled, but if the project resonates and you want to help it move forward, this is the place.
I also post updates on X, Insta, and YT as the project evolves. Every follow, share, or repost helps push it further—reach matters. And if you’d like to cover the project, there’s a full kit with visuals, background, and contact info.
