Patch notes and updates
Every update to the hold, explained in plain words.
Latest
v0.3.5: Hearth & Hold
Dwarven touches all over the hold, heroes who tell their stories at the campfire, a music shuffle that leans toward each biome's songs, rooms that grow, a smoother first hour, a clearer Ascension screen and better support for AMD handhelds.

Where Mudheim is headed: one more Early Access update this week, then 1.0 on December 9 with a fresh start and a thank-you for Early Access players.
v0.3.0: Beards & Bedrock
The story's ending at Depth 40, a short opening scene, dig records, a livelier cave, the Hold Ledger, clearer Warden fights, a new Skill Tree and a growing beard for Pip.

Russian and Brazilian Portuguese, a small-screen pass, a longer climb to Depth 20, exploit fixes, safer saves, and a game that says exactly what it does.

Auto-mine, Blessings past their max level, fewer and bigger buttons, less text on screen, a new pickaxe sound and fixes for wrong info.
v0.2.0: The Endgame Update
