RimWorld, a science-fiction colony game has had its Kickstarter launched today. It is asking for $20,000.

The game is based heavily around Prison Architect and Dwarf Fortress, except with a science fiction twist.

A Dwarf Fortress that isn't nightmarish difficult to comprehend and with decent visuals?
I'm going to back this.

Moar liek rimjob amirite!

$4,957 CAD pledged of $20,000 goal

RimWorld uses an engine that I originally developed to power a tactical sim similar to Jagged Alliance 2. This means it has a lot of features designed to make small-team firefights interesting. For example:

• There's a cover system that models low cover and leaning around corners.
• There's a really nuanced algorithm for determining and reporting hit chances based on distance, skill, weapon, lighting, angle, and cover.
• Weapons have some pretty deep stats.
• The AI plans and executes tactical moves like flanking while trying to stay out of the enemy's line of fire. It uses a number of heuristic algorithms to analyze the battlefield and use the space effectively. It works with allies and avoids bunching up.

Sounds e a cool project. For sure kickstarter is out delivering different games to what we otherwise would get. There is also so much room for expansion with this Project. Expansion for colony; having a extensive map with other colonies/cities/outposts/lairs; level of interaction; levels; character detail.

and it has already been funded. It seems he missed the boat on stretch goals!
