Developers making games featuring dwarves are uniting to try and get their own tag on Steam.
That lead to the tweet just below, again from Kitfox Games, revealing the developer’s shock that there isn’t a ‘Dwarf’ tag for dwarf-starring games on Steam. Just think of the discoverability the dwarf-led games could have if they all had a corresponding tag on the PC storefront!
Deep Rock Galactic got in on the act pretty quickly, joining the Dwarf Fortress devs in their dismay. These two development studios truly believe that the dwarves all deserve their time in the spotlight, and who are we to disagree with them?
This entire thing has probably been hastened by the fact that Steam finally acknowledged ‘Boomer Shooters’ with their own tag. Retro-themed shooters have been an ongoing trend for years now, and nowValvehas finally solidified them as a genre unto themselves with an appropriate Steam tag. Will dwarf-led games see similar joy? Only time, and Valve, can tell.
