Development Blog: Venturing Forth

March 27, 2025

Greetings vikings!

We’d like to start off this post by saying thank you to everyone we met at GDC this year! It’s always a pleasure to get to meet people who have played our game, and this time around was no exception. It was great to meet you!

But a new blog post also means by now that it’s time for a new episode of the Voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth. As she is making her way further inland, what will she discover?

Last time we opened up submissions for our screenshot competition, the Favour of Freya. We wanted to just take a moment to thank everyone who has submitted a picture so far, it’s a delight to go through them all! If you want to compete, you still have a couple of days left to submit your entry, as the competition closes on March 31st. Good luck!

Build of the Month

This month we turn our gaze to “The Dragonhearth” by MythicBuilds. Impressive indeed!
