Autumn has arrived!

It has been a month since I released the first version of "Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot". Back then I had been working on the game for about 4 months and started to lose motivation. So I just decided to put a somewhat playable version of the game on itch and made a few posts about it on reddit. In the first 24 hours, the game received over 1000 plays and overwhelmingly positive feedback! Driven by the support of my players, I continued the development and I think the game has made quite some progress from its initial release.

As of the writing of this article, the game got literally OVER 9000 plays!

With this major update I hope to address most of the issues my players brought forth:

- Added new item(s): 
  - Benediction: Holy Staff (2H) - Ultimate: Last Prayer
- Added new ultimate(s):
