Dev.Play is a yearly celebration of indie games and their developers. Game creators from all over the world come to Bucharest to present their titles and experiences. The event ended on Tuesday with an award gala. First Dwarf, from the Polish studio StarDrifters, received 3 awards, including for the Best Game of the Show.
First Dwarf, a 3D action RPG with base building elements, won prizes for Best Game of the Show, Best Visuals and Most Popular Game .The title is set in an open world that once was a whole planet, but a great war shattered it into drifting islands (the premise known from Star Drifters’ previous title – Driftland). Players will step into the shoes of Tru, a scouting engineer in a mech who is tasked to explore unknown lands in search of a new settlement for the fading dwarven civilization. Accompanied by his dear friend, female dragon Ragna, Tru will gather resources, collect mana to fuel and upgrade his mechanical armor, build bases, set up their defenses, and engage in close combat with local fauna to accomplish his mission.
