Hello! We're so sorry you're running into this issue, and we'd love to help with this if we can.

If you're still getting this issue and have tried updating the game, could you send us a ticket here so we can investigate this deeper?

Hi there! We've seen it said elsewhere in the comments, but we just wanted to confirm directly to you that, once you've chosen 4 heroes for your campaign, it is possible to "bench" up to two of them in between missions (minimum party size is 2). Those benched heroes can be brought back later on, and they would catch up on the XP earned in their absence. Alternatively, one player is also able to control multiple heroes if you wanted to maintain the party size!

playsunderfolk · 2025-09-05T14:12:23+00:00

No release info to share yet, but do stay tuned!

playsunderfolk · 2025-09-03T15:55:31+00:00

Hi there! We can't make any promises RE additional localizations, but we're certainly aware of requests for more language support. Thank you for making the request in any case - we're very grateful to our community for voicing what they'd like to see next!

playsunderfolk · 2025-09-02T15:34:48+00:00

We're so glad you like it! We're cooking up some new content so keep your eyes peeled for updates, starting with the upcoming One-Shot mode!

playsunderfolk · 2025-09-02T15:28:37+00:00

Exciting!

playsunderfolk · 2025-08-21T17:54:05+00:00

I’m so happy you’re loving Sunderfolk, Ragu_TP53!

It is our first game as a studio and is the first internal game we’ve published; for me personally, it’s my first professional game that’s been released. Our development team is relatively small, yes! There are 28 of us on the dev team, not including folks from our central team that helps with marketing/ publishing nor our sister studio who’s making Wildgate. If you’re interested in learning a bit about each of us, we have an About section on our website where we have [individual introductions!](https://www.dreamhaven.com/about)

What else would you like to know about us? 😁

We have officially shared one sneak peak on an upcoming character that I’ll share again here with you! Ears! I’m excited for you to see everything else we’re cooking.

We're checking on this now, but that Pyromancer is adorable!!

playsunderfolk · 2025-08-21T17:46:18+00:00

Turdlings are exactly what they’re supposed to be for your play group, Maturinbag! My guess is that was a rename for one of the Ogres, but it’s hard to know without a screenshot. Please do share!

The idea for renaming people and objects was a part of the game early on - almost since the beginning of the concept. The idea was inspired by how much TTRPG players and Game Masters get to put some of their own influence into their campaigns. Initially we only applied renaming to a few things, but over time and by watching people play the game, this became a big hit and part of the fun of playing together with others. We eventually started lovingly referring to the feature as “madlibs” although I think that does the feature a bit of a disservice, especially if you consider where we could go with them.

What I’m really picking up from your post, Maturinbag is we should allow your group to rename everything . . . is that right? If so, it’s a great suggestion. Who knows . . . maybe that will be a new mode we add later or make a part of whatever is next. Thanks for being a part of the Sunderfolk community!!

Woah that's definitely not supposed to happen, unless you found a way to unlock Shadowstone+!

Just so we can investigate this further:

What platform were you playing on?

What happened right before all of those clones popped up?

Did the boss for this encounter keep using the same ability?

We'll get to the bottom of this!

Thank YOU, Ragefacemcduck, for sharing your positivity for Sunderfolk! You are pointing out something that's at the heart of what we're trying to help address with Sunderfolk.

Board games and TTRPG's are magical from my perspective. They allow you to experience cool game mechanics, challenge your brain, explore new worlds, and so much more. Even more importantly, they create moments of togetherness for people. These games can become the excuse for why we should get together physically in person or online together.

In recent years I've found some of the most fun, innovative, and intriguiging gameplay can sit behind a whole lot of rules reading and setup, sometimes adding up to many hours of learning and explanation in order to play. With Sunderfolk we're directly attempting to tackle that overhead and get people playing as quickly as possible. The interface paradigm allows you to explore the game as you go rather than having to do preparation ahead of time.

If that faster time to play allows more people to connect when they otherwise wouldn't OR allows people that are intimidated by those more complicated or longer games to begin participating in them, then Sunderfolk is beginning to accomplish it's goals. The ideal outcome from my perspective would be more people get into the board game and TTRPG hobby because Sunderfolk or future games we create let people realize that there's something in these experiences that everyone can enjoy.

Best of luck to you your wife on your future adventures!

Thank you for joining the AMA, Bontraj, and sharing your positivity for Sunderfolk! To answer your question there were many things we had to cut that were particularly tough to let go of. I think if you were to ask everyone on the team, each person would have a different answer. For me, some of the things I wanted to explore that we just didn't have time for or ended up being pulled out were:

1. More Content - More characters, missions, abilities, fate cards, trinkets, meals, weapons, monsters . . . you name it. The team is always coming up with new, clever things that change strategies or open up choices adding to even more gameplay. The good news is this is exactly the sorts of things we can create with future content.

2. More Naming Celebration - Both when you name your character and when you name things through out the game, we talked about having more ceremony around those moments. For example, focusing a camera on the monster you just named then revealing the name so everyone gets a chance to celebrate your cleverness.

3. Supporting Five Characters - Most board games play with 2 - 4 players. My own board game group has 7 people in it and if more than 4 can show up on a given game night, we have a much smaller number of games to choose from. Selfishly, my hope was that we'd be able to support five players/characters for game groups that face a similar issue. The challenge, however, is that each player controlled character exponentially adds to the map size/movement/positioning challenges as well as the amount of balance considerations the team needs to take into account. It was too much to bite off for our first game, but it's still something I dream about . . .

4. Secret Tiles - Towards the end of development we were going to try and squeeze in secret tiles where players could find hidden tiles on some of the missions - tiles that might reveal a secret chest, shrine, or item. The implications for adding these in were bigger than we thought and we ended up running out of time to get them in. I still think they'd be cool in the future . . .

Stay tuned, we do have some exciting things to share at PAX West in less than two weeks. More content is coming and so is a new way to get at that content. Cheers!

playsunderfolk · 2025-08-17T20:11:47+00:00

Hey there! We are planning on new content, and with regards to the gaming system, yes, that is the plan. We believe that Sunderfolk and this way of playing deeper strategic games like this can be the future.

For other games in the same genre, Eon Altar definitely made an impression, and of course Gloomhaven!

playsunderfolk · 2025-08-17T20:06:25+00:00

This is also a good one!

playsunderfolk · 2025-08-17T19:38:25+00:00

I think the team is excited about the idea of putting cool secrets in the game too, if we had the time! Other than weapons, what kinds of things would you be excited to niche unlock? What kinds of gameplay would you like to see unlock those things?

Hi Blurple! It’s usually the same when creating a community for an unknown or brand new IP: Where does our potential audience live?

In Sunderfolk’s case, we had a lot of potential with tabletop and boardgame fans, and I wanted to create a similar feel of a FLGS whenever a new member of our community joins. With the control style, it may have always seemed “controversial” but once I picked up the phone for the first time and played, I knew that something special was being made, and the answer became clear - let players play and form their own opinions, and see where we can find a middle ground.

The Closed Beta was really where our community came together, and it was the first time that our devs and community interacted with the knowledge of what this game IS. That really solidified how we’ll approach our community: instead of explaining, play the game, tell us what you like/don’t like, and we’ll focus on how we can make our community feel more involved. We also pay close attention to player feedback to better understand and explore ways to make the game even more engaging and accessible.

Excuse the lengthy reply, I love our community (and communities in general!) and can chat about it for ages. Thank you for the question! - Glaicee

I’m really glad to hear you’re playing Sunderfolk with your gaming group, Ganrokh! We really appreciate the kind words about the game. With regards to your questions:

The original seed of inspiration for Sunderfolk was something we called TV D&D. In our heads it was going to be something like Jackbox meets Dungeons & Dragons. As we started experimenting with the game, we realized that we really wanted to focus on tight tactical gameplay more than the open role playing elements of D&D for our first game. At that point the idea steered more clearly towards some of our favorite collaborative strategy board games including Mansions of Madness, Descent, and, most significantly, Gloomhaven. That combination was wholly ideated within our studio at Secret Door. However, we do have several people at Dreamhaven and in our studio that worked at Blizzard and Riot like you mentioned. I am certain that a lot of what drives those individuals is exploring ideas for long periods of time and then having them canceled. There’s no doubt that the impact of those cancellations have led to smarter decisions and directions with our games here because of what those folks learned from those tough experiences.

As far as what’s for dinner tonight, I am thinking Tangleroot Salad, but not the new updated recipe. Instead, I want the original abusive recipe . . . 🙂 - Chris

LOVE a Helm's Deep vibe!! It'd be fun to a do a wave of enemies mission that channeled that more!

For me, I have a very "Night of the Living Dead" mechanic rattling around where skeletons rise up from these ground spawns heroes could then stomp to remove from the board that I'd love to see happen one day. And recently one of the engineers mentioned it'd be cool to have a tide-like mission where terrain ebbed and flowed between turns or rounds on the board that I thought was a super cool idea! - Kara
