Publisher Team17 and Warpzone Studios have launched the ‘Relations Update’ for dwarven mining simulator, Hammerting, ahead of the game’s full release on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG on November 16th.
The Relations Update includes a food and rest system revamp so the dwarves will need to sleep in order to maintain morale; the denizens of the subterranean community will also discuss recent in-game events and form opinions of each other, which in turn, affect dwarven morale overall.
Hammerting Key Features
- Control the Destiny of the Dwarves: As the colony grows, active management of the dwarves – including the friendships they make and their morale – will be key to helping the war effort.
- Design and Create the Ultimate Base: Bore and upgrade a variety of rooms, from forges and sculpting studios and auxiliary functions and help the colony craft the ultimate base.
- Help With the War Effort: Build and upgrade a variety of items through a deep leveling system.
- Discover Valuable Materials to Quarry: Venture into the bowels of the mountainside & face increasingly perilous situations.
Throughout its time in Early Access, Hammerting, even before the Relations Update, has received a hoard of updates that’s built upon its solid foundation including:
- The Fluids Update: Brought lava and water to the cavernous environments the dwarves call home, together with new tavern and drink recipes, ingredients, and knowledges.
- The Overworld Update: Introduced an overhauled Overworld featuring procedurally generated factions, locations, and roads.
- The Automation Update: Streamlined dwarven efficiency alongside the addition of a win state that challenges players to prove their dwarven mining prowess.
- Epic Crafting Update: Introduced new armor and rings, equippable lanterns, valuable epic level items, ad overhaul to Mountain Lore.
Hammerting is currently available to buy in Steam Early Access for $24.99/£19.99/€24.99.
