DREDGE Hotfix v1.5.32024-09-18Hey Anglers, We've just released update 1.5.3 for DREDGE. This update addresses what should hopefully be the last round of bugs for The Iron Rig.

Nominate DREDGE for Outstanding Visual Style - Steam Awards 20232023-11-21Alex will hate that we're doing this, but dang if the rest of us don't want this for him! We are unashamedly asking you to nominate DREDGE for Best Visuals in this year’s Steam Awards. This is why we think our amazing art director Alex Ritchie deserves such incredible recognition. Being a team of only four people and with only a small budget, Alex has spent three years of his life compromising his ideal vision while still creating a visual world of incredible tone and depth. He's been able to mix 2D illustrations in a 3D world and make it feel right in this cosmic horror setting, not to mention has conjured up some pretty disturbing aberrant
Nominate DREDGE for Game of the Year - Steam Awards 20232023-11-21It's the big one, and it feels a bit ridiculous to campaign for it but we keep being surprised at the astounding volume of support we receive so, let's go for it! It's not an easy sell with so many incredible games released this year across the whole gamut of studios; tiny debut indies and triple-A's alike, but here's why we would love you to consider us alongside the other games you've enjoyed playing this year. This game was crafted with players experience, enjoyment and comfort first and foremost. We knew we couldn't make a really long game with DREDGE without introducing artificial grinds, and we didn't want to do that, so hours were spen
Nominate DREDGE for Best Soundtrack - Steam Awards 20232023-11-21DREDGE is a game of contrasts, and our incredible composer David Mason elevated this to new levels in the audio design of DREDGE. The subtle use of soft instrumental stingers during the day and a sinister soundscape at night is intended to help amplify the feelings of loneliness and claustrophobia we wanted the open waters to evoke. Each area has its own distinct set of instruments, and each dock has its own theme within the world. For a quick refresher, check out the free version of our soundtrack: We are so happy David decided to send us an e-mail completely out of the blue one day to see if we needed a composer for DREDGE, and that he was
