Hello Prospectors!

Today we'd like to introduce one of the new characters coming in the free Homecoming Update.

Meet your sister, who has just returned from Poland to help you rebuild the family legacy in Alaska. After spending years away, she's finally with you again - and she's ready to roll up her sleeves.

But before she could arrive in the game, we first had to create her!


Like every important character in Alaska Gold Fever, she started as a detailed high-poly sculpt created in Blender and ZBrush.

Once the sculpt was finished, we created a low-poly version, made the UV maps, and baked all the fine details from the high-poly model onto the optimized game mesh.

Next came texturing in Substance Painter, where we gave her clothes, skin, and accessories their final look.

The hairstyle was created separately in Blender using the Hair Tool, before optimizing the mesh and preparing everything for animation.

Finally, the character received an armature, weight painting, and several LOD levels to keep performance smooth.

The last step: Exporting everything into Unity and making sure the character looked just as good in-game as she did in the 3D software. (And yes... materials almost always look a little different once they're inside the engine! :D )


Your sister won't just stand around looking busy.

She'll become an important part of the Polish Store business introduced in the Homecoming Update.

She'll be able to collect your earnings, pick up goods and supplies, help pays employee salaries.

Think of her as your trusted business partner, helping you manage the growing family enterprise while you're out searching for gold.

We'll be showing more of new characters, gameplay, and story in future devlogs!

Hello Prospectors!

If you've played Alaska Gold Fever from the very beginning, you probably remember NPC named Henry...

Yes, that Henry. 😄

Our story with him actually started back in the earliest demo, when we arrived together on the snowy island, both dreaming of striking it rich during the Alaskan Gold Rush.

Things... didn't exactly go according to plan.


During the playtests, Henry showed his true colors. While we were busy digging through the mine, he had a much better idea...
He simply stole the treasure we had worked so hard to uncover.

Honestly, this short GIF and cutscene says it all. 😅

Our protagonist swore revenge, but Henry disappeared without a trace...
Or so we thought.

If you paid close attention to the ending scene before the credits, you may have noticed a familiar face. Henry wasn't gone - he was returning to Alaska!

And he didn't come back alone.


In the upcoming Bandits DLC, Henry returns as the leader of a dangerous outlaw gang that has taken control of parts of the frontier.

Your journey won't just be about defeating bandits and clearing their camps. You'll finally get the chance to settle the score with Henry himself.

But that's not all...

As the story unfolds, you'll discover more about your uncle, the mysterious inheritance that brought you to Alaska, and some unexpected connections involving Henry...

...and maybe even the Reverend?

Who can you really trust?
