My name is Vlad. I’m a fantasy writer from Kazakhstan, and this is my first attempt at making a game.
For some time, I’ve been turning the underground world from my dwarf novels into a strategy and management game about a living dwarven fortress. The player does not control every dwarf directly: they have their own needs, preferences, plans, and occasionally inconvenient ideas.
The prototype is still very early and rough, but I got tired of developing it entirely “for the desk,” so I finally created an itch.io page and uploaded it.
My dwarves love mushroom beer — and shouting “Skjell!” when they gather around the table after a hard week’s work.
For now, I mostly wanted to introduce myself. I’m glad to join the community, meet other indie developers, and gradually learn how all of this works.
Nice to meet you!
