Yeah, he's been updating like mad, it seems. IIRC, when he originally went through the Steam process, he fudged it up a bit and had intended a different release type that they offer, but then he couldn't do anything but have it offered as E.A. so he went with it, given that re-approval was a hassle.Tamina wrote:Tried it, crashed a few times on me after several minutes, no auto save, controls are absolutly horrible and I dare to imagine how dwarf fortress performs in that regard.
I see no way to automate stuff. You can do things like "produce X until Y" but when reaching Y it just disappears. And what is the goal exactly?
Can see the huge potential though! Will keep an eye on it. Maybe in a few months if the developer hasn't lost interest.
Thanks for sharing
It will probably be under pretty hectic patching for awhile. Many features are not deeply developed, yet. The whole point is that it's rather an "alpha" or "late concept piece" than a true Beta or E.A. dev piece just yet. Honestly, though, it seems like he's on the right track. He's got a github tracker going, now, and there's some good activity on the reddit and even in the Steam forums.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Maybe it will be "it" or maybe not. Either way, it's free and it appears to be at least on the way to succeeding Gnomoria, if not being good enough to be a DF half-clone.
