Anvil update 4 is here!

Check out our previous post for more detail on the major points of the update, but here is some new content we are happy to announce is also releasing!

Character customisation

We didn’t fully go into the character customiser in the last announcement but here it is in it’s full glory! You will be able to place the customiser as a building, and within it be able to change the type and colour of your hair, beard, moustache, eyes, eyebrows and skin!

This is something we plan to expand on a lot to maximise your personalised dwarf!

Featuring for now:

• 7 Beard types

• 4 moustache types

• 2 eyebrow variations

• 9 hair variations

• 3 tattoo types

• All fully customisable in different combinations with a large pallet of colours which can also be used for player skin and eye colour.

More improved UI

We are undertaking the long but very worthwhile task of redesigning and improving the UI across the game! Our newest improvements are a major change to all machine UI, some nicer graphics for the onboarding in the Kings Questboard and a small refresh to the research station UI.

Guaranteed an ancient chest to spawn next to the tombs of the three brothers!
