- Dwarf Legacy turns Tolkien's sturdy miners into bullet hell mountaineers - don't mythril the demo - 28 January 2026
Remember in The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers when Gandalf falls down the big chasm with the Balrog, smacking the sawdust out of it while plummeting towards the waters of the underworld? Well, give Gandalf a gun, play that sequence in reverse, and swap the Balrog for a flock of Space Invaders, and you are playing something like the demo for Dwarf Legacy – a “bullet-hell precision platformer” from Wulo Games about a dwarf clambering up the inside of a mountain. Oh wait, Gandalf needs to be listening to crunchy dancefloor music to complete the analogy. Also, he needs to stop periodically to buy better guns from a blacksmith. I’m pretty sure this is still within Peter Jackson’s budget. Read more

- Dwarf Legacy Joins the Steam Ramadan Festival 2025! - 27 February 2025
Reading Time: 4 minutes Ramadan Kareem to all players! May this holy month bring peace, joy, and prosperity to you and your loved ones. I invite you to embark on a mystical journey in Dwarf Legacy. I invite you to travel back in time and witness the grandeur of The Mountainhome before it was lost to legend. Story of The Mountainhome Hundreds of years ago, The Mountainhome was the heart of Dwarven civilization, a majestic mountain fortress echoing with life and laughter. It was ruled by The Dwarven King, a wise and just ruler whose leadership brought prosperity to his kin. Under his reign, the forges never grew cold, and the golden halls were adorned with the finest craftsmanship. During Ramadan, the dwarves celebrated in their own unique way, lighting the great lanterns of the mountain to symbolize hope and unity. The halls shimmered with warmth as families gathered, feasting and sharin…
- Dev Log 1: Movement and Aiming - 30 January 2025
Reading time: 3 min When developing Dwarf Legacy, I wanted every aspect of the game to emphasize precision platforming. The shooting mechanic was no exception. Traditional twin-stick controls divide player's attention between aiming at a distant point and managing their character's movement. This approach didn’t work for my game, as players needed to focus on the hazards directly surrounding the character. This challenge led me to rethink and prototype a new system. Introducing Weapons Playing the game without any weaponry, I found the most enjoyment in avoiding danger, jumping away from swarms of enemies, circling around them, and progressing through levels while keeping threats at bay. Once I mastered the movement mechanics, it felt natural to position the character relative to enemies: to the left, right, above, below, or at diagonal angles. This inspired the idea of limiting aiming…
