This ARPG was forged by three skillful dwarves, whose souls burned with passion and dedication. Like brave blacksmiths, they immersed themselves in countless hours of hard work at the blazing forges until, finally, with skill and perseverance, they shaped this masterpiece that we have the honor of presenting. Goldenjar Fall: This legendary ARPG takes place in the lands of Clan Goldenjar, where the brave and determined King Korik must battle against formidable enemies in a fierce and wild race to return home. His path will be filled with dangerous foes who will try to defeat him, but the King possesses years of combat experience and the power of Thorgabarth, the dwarves' forging god, who will grant him the strength to overcome anyone who tries to stop him.

Two years ago, our tabletop campaign hit a scheduling snag, leading our DM to suggest an innovative twist: we'd continue our characters' tales through video games. And so began our foray into the captivating world of game development.

Hailing from diverse IT backgrounds (Functional Analyst, QA), our trio embraced this uncharted territory. With basic programming knowledge, our DM dived in. The second member, an audio-video enthusiast, donned the QA and sound mantle. As for me, I brought 3D expertise to the mix.

Amidst post-job lockdown, we dedicated ourselves to our project. Our game evolved, shaping up for an early access debut on Steam. A candid confession: novices in marketing, we learned by doing – don't launch games sans a community.

We made a splash at Thegdwc.com in 2021, securing the coveted "Best Game" award. Buoyed by the accolades, we fine-tuned our creation, forging ahead to EVA 2022. Positive reviews flowed in, a small yet steadfast community rallied, cheering every early access update.

Two years have elapsed since that fateful subquest by our DM, uniting us in a grander narrative. As we near the end of Early Access, destiny led me here, sharing our odyssey.

I invite you to venture onto Steam, exploring our available demo. Should our creation resonate, adding it to your wishlist would be an invaluable endorsement, propelling us higher.

With heartfelt gratitude for your time,

FOR THORGABARTH!
