Update #3: Pre Alpha Prototype!: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1078333633/dwarfcorp/posts/552633

As Karl Marx once said, "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to toiling for the Bourgeoisie we go!" DwarfCorp is a comedic fantasy real-time strategy game in which you lead a colony of ruthless capitalist Dwarves to discover new lands, and exploit them for profit!

Sounds like a game for me.

 

[Cursed Platypus]

Finally a dwarf fortress with a pleasant graphical interface?

 

[Infinitron]

Reminds me of Falstaff from Dragon Commnader.

 

[dehimos]

I don't think it's a Dwarf Fortress. For me it is closer to a Tycoon.

Have you missed Gnomoria?

 

[JarlFrank]

Dwarf Fortress with graphics.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Not only with graphic but with some Minecraft wibe. Or just Gnomoria twin.
8 dolans is acceptable, even for potatos.

 

[Hellraiser]

This looks pretty good actually, especially the fact that you have a working prototype.

 

[oscar]

Looks cool. I've always felt like a pussy for never being able to make the leap into Dwarf Fortress when it sounds so good.

 

[Dr Tomo]

Might buy if they actually make it ruthless and allow me to enslave natives and force them to slave away in a mine pit or entertain my workers lolz.

-2d sprites + 3d terrain gives me a PSX vibe.

-Doesn't look like it will have DF simulationist flair.

-Day and night cycle means you can forget about games lasting several in-game years.

-Your motherland sending balloons instead of caravans sounds cool.

-Dwarf Fortress with graphics.

Game when I can play as Khazarian! Take my jewgold!

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Another DF Extra Lite for those who cannot into tutorial videos and reading wiki.

For 2D game with depth there's DF and for 3D there's Minecraft with mods.

Well this sounds promising, if only because toady could never get the economy working in DF:

Paying Your Employees
In order to conform to international Dwarf Corporation standards, you must pay your employees a living wage. Through the Dwarven Resources panel, you will be able to set the pay rate of different Dwarf Classes. Each business cycle, dwarves extract cash from your bank account and put it in their wallets. Each dwarf has a little cache of money which he keeps to himself. Dwarves decide on their own what to spend their money on. Since your colony is in a faraway land, the only things a Dwarf can buy come from your company store! In drinking halls, your dwarves will have to shill out a few coins for each pint of ale. Dwarves may also spend their personal savings on sentimental items shipped from the motherland.

 

[Borelli]

Dungeon Keeper has the best employee paying method. A deep demonic voice would say "it's payday" and then all your demons would form a konga line moving towards the gold pile. Cracks me up every time.

 

[Quilty]

Could be intereting, but I doubt it will match up to Dwarf Fortress. That game has been eating away at my free hours recently, and I absolutely love it. I would actually be up for another rpgcodex succession game if there's any interested dwarf managers out there.

 

[Regvard]

This relatively recent tendancy to portray dwarves as capitalists annoys me. Tolkien-derived dwarves are simply not. Newfags are confusing materialism with capitalism.

 

[Garm]

Oh cool another Dwarf Fortress clone that will never get out of alpha.

 

[Cassidy]

Pretty much. As Arcanum have nailed so precisely, Gnomes are the real Jews Capitalists.

 

[Johannes]

Sure, tolkien dwarves or the norse or german dwarves were not capitalist by any measure, but hey - as time and Progress rolls on it is only natural that even the supernatural embrace the benefits of the free markets. All according to Karl Marx as the pitch points out.

 

[knightley]

I kind like the it. But damn, am i tired of minecraft style graphics.
