Dorfromantik News

Some of you might remember we took a hiatus from this in the beginning of the year to rejiggle the Showcase, make it less convoluted and open it up to more people. Well, it kinda fell to the wayside with all the 1.0 preparations but it finally is time for us to bring back the Creative Showcase!


[h3]Changes to the Showcase[/h3]

There are three main changes to how we are handling the Showcase going forward:

• The Showcase will run MONTHLY instead of being on this weird 2-3 week rhythm.
  
• No more voting! It did cause a bunch of unnecessary overhead and at the end wasn't even utilized much.
  
• We are no longer restricting the Showcase to a Theme, and are opening it up to FAN ART (Including Memes!) as well! We will still provide Themes every month for those who would like an idea to work off of, though.

What we want to achieve with this new angle for the Showcase is to celebrate the communities', YOUR, creativity. We don't need to vote on who's the most creative or anything, it's all a celebration of your awesome stuff!

We are also changing how you submit pieces for the Creative Showcase. From now on, any and all submissions have to be made via this form which will allow us to catalogue all submissions internally with all necessary info pertaining to them.


[h3]Theme Suggestion[/h3]

Not sure what to create for the Showcase? Why not create a rural Estuary or Delta with some coastline and an island or two!


NOTE: For this one, we reached out to some folks and gathered a bunch of good looking stuff off Steam and Reddit. Should you be featured here and not want to be, please let us know.

Hey everybody,

we have a new QQ group available for Dorfromantik players. Feel free to join the QQ group: 1007937317

[h3]What is QQ group?[/h3]
QQ is a free instant messaging service mainly used in Asia. It is a place like Steam Hub or Discord where players can chat about Dorfromantik.

[h3]Why a QQ group?[/h3]
We offer an official Discord server and the Steam Community Hub forums here. However, many players (such as players from our Chinese community) cannot access these platforms and therefore have been wishing for a long time to have a place on their platforms where they can talk about Dorfromantik with other players.

We are happy that Dorfromantik is played all over the world and would like to support the possibility for other players who cannot use Discord or the Steam Hub to communicate with eachother.


💛Wish you all the best!

Delightful casual game Dorfromantik is finally finished, with its 1.0 update dropping this past week. It's a game that I find deeply joyous, one where you put down little hexagonal tiles with slices of countryside to try and fulfill cute objectives... which give you more tiles... to make a larger sprawl of fields and villages... until you run out of tiles. Then you start over again. It's all set to a lovely soundtrack that got six new tracks for release...
