- DEMO UPDATE! - 6 May 2026
Hello dorfs, Just flying in to share that we’ve just updated our demo for any future potential dorfs to enjoy. There’s a new time limit of 30 minutes, we’ve updated it to match any fixes on the live branch so you’re not running into any pesky bugs and there’s some additional language support in there now too for those of you who don’t want to play in English. If you’re thinking about checking out the game, it's a great little taster that should get you familiar with the core gameplay and mechanics,while being short enough not to spoil anything too much. Just a heads up too - your progress will not transfer over from the demo, so when you play the main game you will need to start over. Plenty of opportunity for different routes and exploration! We also just launched a new unofficial official mod world, have you checked it out yet?! Hope everyone is having fun exploring Otam & beyond. Sen…
- New Content: Tyranny of the al'Batash - 1 May 2026
Greetings kin! There's a new official mini-campaign we've published to mod.io. You can get this new content for free, in-game by visiting Scoot Manis. Scoot is the funny little "purveyor of worlds" standing outside of the Great Hall in Rivenbrook Keep. Through Scoot, you will find your way to an official mini-campaign from us called...Tyranny of the al'BatashWe don't want to spoil the details of the mini-campaign for you, but we'll say it's a small-ish (just over a dozen locations) mini-campaign. Tyranny is complete with its own full storyline, new characters, and new trials and tribulations. It's also a bit on the more challenging side for those who've already ripped through the core campaign and are end-game Whitebeards thirsting for more. So be warned! You'll probably want to visit the lands of Zarakh after you've completed the main story if you've not done so yet. (Or at the very le…

- The Music of Regions of Ruin: Runegate - 24 April 2026
Greetings kin!We've been getting a lot of wonderful comments on and interest in the soundtrack for Regions of Ruin: Runegate, so we thought the music would be a good topic for this week's dev blog!You haven't heard from me yet in the dev blogs, but I'm Mike- the other half of the Gameclaw team as well as the composer of the score for RoR:R! Prior to being a game developer, I've pursued music in one form or another since my teen years, but I'd spent around 15 years in the audio profession as a composer in the entertainment industry and in general audio work such as foley, sound design, etc. and as an audio engineer. For those interested, I am a lifelong Steinberg Cubase enjoyer as my DAW, or digital audio workstation of choice.(Snap of me home turf. Gotta' flex the clean minimal setup and RF swag desk mat, no? r/battlestations?)THE MUSIC OF OTAMWe knew early on that we'd first be visitin…

- The World of Regions of Ruin: Runegate - 31 March 2026
Hey dorfs, Steve here! Some of you have asked how we went about writing the story and lore behind Regions of Ruin. As to our process, we actually spent a lot of time sitting down and bouncing ideas back and forth developing the underlying lore and setting for each world, race and culture. Over the past five years we slowly built a large living document that outlined all of the cultures and worlds in the game (And many more that aren't in the game). Having this underlying document gave us a good foundation to begin writing the main campaign plot. Essentially working backwards. For example, in the first world there are two main human races. The Fjukamann, and the Dulra. They have tribes and clans amongst their own, but in the continent as a whole, the Fjukamann and Dulra people have entirely different ways of life, with their own reasons for conflict. We established these groups before we…
- The Creation of Regions of Ruin: Runegate - 24 March 2026
Hey dorfs, Steve here! I thought I'd explain a bit about why we decided to create Regions of Ruin Runegate. Something a lot of people told me after playing Regions of Ruin was "It's great fun, but I want more of it". ROR scratched an itch that a lot of people had, but it didn't quite scratch that itch hard enough with only 8-10 hours of content. This stuck with me for quite some time. ROR was actually my debut into the gaming industry, I always considered it a prototype. It was a short term project where I wedged a lot of ideas together to try and make something fun. Fortunately it worked, but less fortunate was the uh... codebase. Let's just say, it got the job done but it wasn't pretty. When I saw how well received ROR was, I earnestly wanted to expand on it. I wanted to flesh out the lore and balance the gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, it was an uphill battle with the codebase. It…
