Drova - Forsaken Kin News

Future Plans

Hello everyone,

It's been 7 months since we released Drova and as a team we have now said goodbye to Drova (the support will not be stopped of course). We are now working on a new project.

In these last months we have released 3 major content patches. Above all, we have learned through Drova what Drova means to you and what you want.

During this time we have read and evaluated all of your feedback and started to brainstorm about our new project.
Thanks again to everyone who left us feedback, every feedback was very helpful!

We have uploaded a video for you where we talk about the new project, how Drova will remain and what our goals are as Just2D. (The video is in German but there are English subtitles available).

We are now embarking on a journey that will be different from Drova. And we are up for it! But most of all we are looking forward to going on this journey with you. We will upload regular updates on Discord, Twitch and YouTube and discuss topics with you, just like we did with Drova. Drova has become what it is today because of you.

See you soon,
Just2D

Hotfix 1.3.2.1 is live

Hello,

unfortunately with patch 1.3.2 in chapter 4, there was a cutscene with cay where the player got stuck and the game didn't continue. We fixed that.

Patch 1.3.2 is live

We have just released patch version 1.3.2. It contains small bug fixes, which you can read about below.

Furthermore, in the last episode of Behind the Pixels, we specifically addressed your questions and answered them (video is in German, but with English subtitles). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsDeWSUIOwI
Perhaps we answered a question there that might interest you? Or you may have your own questions. Write them in the comments and we will answer them in a future video.

What do we do now after Drova? What's next? We'll answer that in the next update video, which will come next week.
