As dangerous as Drova is, it also comes with the most beautiful sights hidden in the dark caves below the land.

Take this moment, catch your breath, recollect your fortitude, and continue on with your journey! ⚔

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

Treasures are spread far and wide, but what could one find indoors? Will you give in and pilfer anything you can find, or will you stray away from picking locks and the dangers that come with it?

Choose your path, but be prepared to face the people you stole from! ⏲

Join one of two factions, each with their own values and in pursuit of their own goals. Your choice will be relevant until the very end of your journey and impact the aftermath following your every step. 👣

Most opportunities to fish a lush meal present itself after fighting off the threats at hand. This serene spot almost lets you forget all past troubles.

Looking closer, some would spot an enemy that is not to be underestimated despite his meager stature.

Tischtennis gegen @just2d.bsky.social ist leicht. Denn sie kennen keine dritte Dimension.

Sit down, drink a bevarage of your choice and dance with your...alliances? Just keep in mind that any friendly garbling of songs together may quickly turn into a bar fight if you don't watch out. 👁‍🗨

Creatures in Drova defend their habitats from whoever dares crossing their path. Not this lad though! Sometimes difficult to find, hiding behind stone structures, he just gives you a sympathetic "Woof Woof!" 🐶

While foraging valuables one might find far away from any safety, a true surviver always comes prepared for battle.

If you don't, an ambush by wild magical beasts awaiting the unguarded will take you by surprise in the dark with no way out!

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

One could feel lost at the vast environment, but luckily you are not the first person here. Once you find a trail and follow it, there may be treasures awaiting you at the end.

Keep in mind, treasures are rarely left behind by choice.

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

The Insane mode challenges you to survive the coldest of lands once more. This time, it will not be as easy as some of you had thought of before.

Enemies you encounter will now find a way for overwhelming you with their attacks, and some seem changed, too...

#RPG #Drova

At some crossroads in your adventures, you may encounter unimaginable foes, bringing chaos onto even the safest of pathways.

They leave you with no other choice than fighting them with all your might, or quickly retreating...What will you do?

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

Drova was just the beginning...

Despite Drova's hazards, it undoubtedly offers a great ecological assortment of plants, flowers and mushrooms. Forage as scrupulously as you desire and use them to your advantage as it can make all the difference in the upcoming fights of life and death! ⚔

#indiegame #RPG #Drova

The constant threats of the wilderness may even be trumped by the ones lurking inside. Will you cave and join them, or will you be the one closely walking in line with your morals?

Choose your path, but be prepared to face the consequences inevitably catching up! ⏲

As you approach this little fellow, it cheekily rolls on its back, meowing loudly into your face. Admittedly, as fierce as you are, you also can't ignore it any longer.

This fur is just too soft looking to not take your chance at petting it! 🐱

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

Straying too far away from the path, one will inevitably encounter strong beasts. Do not lose your composure confronted with their individual magical abilities, at times making your quest to survive a living hell.

And they praised this as the promise land...

#pixelart #Drova

Despite great hardships, caused by a grim and cold world ready to take anything and anyone down, you can still find inner peace at times.

It may appear scarcely, but if you seek it out, it may find you in the most unexpected corners of Drova. 🕯

#pixelart #RPG #Drova

Some foes may turn out to be rather difficult to get a hold of. If they're faster, you have to use your alertness and brute force for survival.

Only your flow of battle stands between you and certain death!

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

Nothing replenishes one's energy reserves better than fishing your own food after challenging fights one may encounter when leaving no stone unturned in Drova.
With the right equipment, of course, it is possible to live off of the land here. 🐟

#indiegame #pixelart #RPG #Drova

Every adventurer yearns for a breather at the end of a hard day surviving in Drova. Sit down, get a beverage, and dance with your...alliances?

Celebrate with all possible threats in the back of your head, since silence always comes before a storm 🌪

#pixelart #RPG #Drova

Thank you for your kind words. :)

The wait is over! Our last major content update “The Flesh Rises” for Drova is now available!

From now on we will focus completely on our next project besides bug fixes for Drova. At the moment we can't say much about it just yet.

#indiegames #gamedev

As you venture through the land, overcoming all hardships and managing through the factions, you may come across special places...

What has been slumbering here? Will it be friend or foe to your endeavors? Find out for yourself!

GDC. The great developer conference in San Francisco.

More like the once great conference.

Take a seat. I've got some things to say. Gotta say this was my last GDC for a very long time.

Be aware of the great threats of Drova lurking behind every corner and every stone. Only cautious fighters may emerge successful of the never ending challenges the land provides.

Learn from past mistakes, study and slay your enemies! ⚔
