Dwarf Titan: Song of the Gold Eaters

You are a Gold Eater Dwarf.

Though the scorned sun god, Sólgrymr, has cursed your divine lineage, the blood of titans still flows through your veins. You long for revenge... to gorge upon the sun god's shining flesh and reclaim your golden godhood.

You must mine, slay, loot, quest, and feast upon the gold of the land. As you consume it, coin by coin, your titan form returns, ascending you to godhood.

Can you swallow the sun itself?

Your size is the game

You start the size of a rabbit. Every coin you eat makes you permanently bigger, and the world answers. The camera pulls back. Your pickaxe takes out a block the size of a cottage. The wolf that chased you through the grass is now something you step over. And something big enough can still flatten you, so you learn to hide in holes until you have eaten enough to stop hiding.

What you'll do

• Hear a fairy tale, then go and find it. Papa Hreidmar reads you one a day, and every story is a quest out there, waiting for you to be big enough: Thor's hammer at a giant's wedding, the troll under the bridge, the cloud giants' harp, Andvari's ring, the Sword in the Stone, the Holy Grail, the Golden Fleece, Fafnir's hoard, and the Palace of Midas.
  
• Grow your Runic Coin, a sphere grid with three paths: Metallurgy, Valhal, and Greed. Your first rune picks your opening power: Glintbolt, Titan Leap, or Burrow. More abilities wait further out, each with three ranks, and relics from the great quests break the barriers in between.
  
• Mine, build, and fight through meadows, forests, deserts, tundra, swamps, and mountains, with deep caves below and open seas where sharks and serpents wait for anything small enough to swallow. The blocks you dig and place grow with you: one tile at the start, whole hillsides by the end.
  
• Break a dam and the lake comes with it. Water and lava run, pool, and level out. Rain fills the hollows you dug, and the sun dries them again. Tap a reservoir to flood a pit, or swim to the ore at the bottom.
  
• Build a hall. Brick and plank walls, doors, beds, a furnace, an anvil, and a gold forge. Your friends can sleep there. Build it at your size, then watch it shrink to a doghouse as you grow.
  
• Play together. Host a world for friends on your own machine, over LAN or online. Dig beside them, or turn on them. Your friends are full of gold too.
  
• Swallow the sun. Grow from Underfoot to Godhood, until Sólgrymr has nowhere left to hide.
