Drova - Forsaken Kin News

Travelers of the Otherworld!

We have just released patch version 1.2.3. It contains small bug fixes, which you can read about below.

We have a format called Behind the Pixels. There we will upload a new episode every Sunday and answer your questions about Drova or game development (video is in German, but with English subtitles).
https://youtu.be/-V4XCseVMjw This time it's about modding and game development.
We are working hard on our next patch 1.3, which will be released at the end of March.

Have fun with Drova and have a nice weekend,

Dear travelers of the Otherworld,

We have just released the patch version 1.2.2 in which we mainly fixed bugs. Below you'll find the change log.

If you are interested in having a custom statue of yourself added to the game, we currently have a challenge going on.
You can find more information and rules on our Discord for that.

We have now started working on the next (and last) big content Patch 1.3 (The Flesh Rises).
We are very much looking forward to the patch and hope that it will round off Drova.

Have fun with Drova,
Just2D
