The steampunk meets lovecraftian cosmic horror bastard child of Dwarf Fortress with an actual GUI is now available in Earliest Access. That's basically early access a month before it appears in steam early access, because reasons. Fuck if I know.
Unlike with the usual cat in the bag brand of early access vapourware, the game has an actual fucking project page which shows what is done, what is to be done and what pieces of the game are in what state of completion. Which shows that at the very least the devs know how to fake being competent and having a plan, unlike most early access devs.
FYI if you want to buy the buggy alpha now it's windows only for now and it doesn't start for international versions of windows, particularly the Frogeater and Potato ones. KURWA!
Being the sucker for DF clones that I am, I will use my potatogold to buy this piece of software as soon as my paycheck comes and possibly write my impressions ITT. But only after they fix the "does not work on the Polish version of Windows 7" bug. Also I foolishly believe the devs are competent because I got brainwashed by reading their dev blogs on this game for the past year or so. And because they quote and often reference Alpha Centauri. Also it has cabbage.
I hope this game has potato and not just cabbage for you to grow.
FYI here's a list of reasons why this might be the DF clone to actually match or surpass DF when it is done:
- proper simulation of colonists, colonists divided into social strata
- fun in the form of cults worshipping cosmic horrors, communist uprisings from your prole colonists, fishpeople attacks
- it uses actual mineral ores like tetrahedryte and hematite
- it will have pipes, electricity and other fun industrial things to build and malfunction spectacularly killing your colonists
- monocles
- an actual GUI
- done by people who are not total autists and/or weekend game developers and coders.
