Welcome to The Dwarves of Glistenveld Wiki!

This wiki will describe every object, entity and interface in the upcoming game: The Dwarves of Glistenveld. This is both for our sake (the devs) so that we can keep track of which does what, but will also (hopefully) be useful for players too, if our in-game descriptions aren't up to scratch!

(A completely serious picture providing exceedingly detailed descriptions of items of interest in a snapshot of, absolutely undoctored, gameplay)

About "The Dwarves of Glistenveld"

The Dwarves of Glistenveld is an Indie game currently in Alpha.

There is no release date yet, however, a demo will be available in the next couple of months.

Prologue

In the fourth age of Dwarf-kind, a huge goblin army overran the Dwarven capital, Glistenborg, sending the poor, ill-prepared dwarves fleeing for their lives! They fled under the earth into their extensive mine networks. Grouped by commonality and trust, they formed 6 clans; one of which, the nobility, were soon wiped out for lack of sense. Sucks to be them! The remaining 5 clans now play to their strengths to survive, and they have begun regrouping...

This is where you come in. The game is primarily set in underground caves and tunnels, in which you band together one of the five clans of blundering dwarves to: gather resources; build a cavernous home to rest and recuperate; discover, upgrade and tinker with forgotten technologies; build defences and traps for those pesky goblins to fall foul of; and ultimately, to recover your clan's strength, remind them of their dwarven spirit and take back their homeland from the goblin invasion!
