After Tezzel, I want to introduce a new game:
⛏️It is called Short Kings and it is a strategic roguelite where you lead a company of dwarves in a gold rush.
I will be sharing more of it in the nextdays. Below is some art!

For #screenshotsaturday check the contract board I have been working on lately. Added a lot of juice to it: See what biome it is, what to expect for the days, enemies, terrain and missions!

@WhatIfArcade My initial idea is to reveal the full roster that you will encounter. It lets you plan ahead and value how worth is a given contract. Another idea was to just give the total number of enemies you will face. Not sure what is best.

@marspacer8 Not yet, we will have an alpha on https://t.co/QBuVYJYFKc in December! I will announce it here!

@guagwigames Thanks! I went for a Viking-like font. it is called "Norse Bold"

I needed a seal for the Dwarven Contracts in Short Kings. Got me into a rabbit hole of how those were done in Medieval Times. But I found some good inspiration!

In Short Kings, Interest is 5% a day (for now).
Whatever you bank at dusk keeps growing so you have more for each day you stay

The Merging Ritual in Short Kings
Every other night you get the chance of fusing your dwarves into higher tier ones.
2x Tier 1 -> 1x Tier 2
2x Tier 2 -> 1x Tier 1

Dwarf 4/106 - 🫎 Tamer dwarf.
One of the most powerful units, during the day it tames wild animals. Those can work for you and defend the base at night!

On my last post I presented the Smasher dwarf. Here we can see him in action collecting stone, minerals and stunning enemies during the night fight!

Dwarf 3/106 - 🔨 Smasher dwarf.
Armed with a big hammer this dwarf is a good balance: At day it can break big boulders to gather stone and minerals. At night it stuns enemies with its powerful strike

What do you think of the clock I made for Short Kings?
Inside you see the sun/moon for the 4 stages: Dawn, Noon, Dusk, Night.
In the outer ring you see each day, with different icons for different events.
