Anyone tried this?

 

[Perkel]

Well this looks like actually Dwarf Fortress that works and doesn't seem to be mauled by FPS.
Also it has actual modern UI.

Will try it.

edit:

Ok music is pretty fucking good. Digging themes here.
New game:

First 5 minutes and game really gives me good impressions.
It feels like first 5 minutes of Stardew Valley, everything is "right" and could be good game.

embark screen:

Look 21 century UI to equip your migrants, check stats, assign jobs lololol
I will do also short videos because game really looks nice, sounds nice and seems really fun

 

[Perkel]

Love ambient sound. Whoosh of trees, bees flying around, birds singing. Neat.
It has grass destruction/regeneration like in DF, at least it seems like it.

 

[Perkel]

Welcome to 21 century dwarf fortress.
I designated zone for wood and suprise suprise....

Stuff is stacking ! Instead of 9 wood pieces like in DF i can store .... MORE than 9.

Does it have sweat and growing fingernails?

No. But it doesn't go into FPS death when you have 10 members.

So far the stuff i don't like but probably will change in future:
- only one size of embark and it is rather small
- seems like some of the systems like disease and stuff are bugged or don't work correctly

It seems to be one man work and dude rather frequently updates game also he has bug reporting on trello and seems to actively squash bugs. Game is mostly played with mouse (though you can use keyboard too for shortcuts). Again welcome to 21 century.

At least put a proper link in your topic posts, ffs...



Or some other store if you're fighting the man.

Talked with dev for a bit.

- bigger maps are coming
- naturally plans to add crapload of more stuff
- mostly his work + music by other dude
- tries to go into RimWorld release model, so don't expect 1.0 quickly but game should be playable always, just now feature complete for early access.

Am I supposed to be able to read this?

I hate lol-so-retro pixel font bullshit

I can read it.
But I'll admit it's not the easiest on the eyes.

 

[Alienman]

Tried it. Seems okay, except that it's too pixelated. I mean, I know it's supposed to look like that, but as others pointed out here the text is really hard to read and it's hard to see what the hell is going on overall. When I play my mind just goes to Dwarf Fortress, thinking; "why play this, when I can play the superior game instead". Maybe in the future.

Because it doesn't go into FPS death after few hours.
But yeah it is still not finished.

Font is a walking eye strain and I'm not a fan of pseudo-pixel graphics but other than that looks good.

 

[hoothoot]

Perkel mind showing us screens and your thoughts on the endgame when you get to it?

I don't play it now. Too many unfinished systems. Game is in quick active development though.

I'll just wait for dwarf fortress on steam

Wait all you want, it's still gonna have an unbearable UI

 

[Saerain]

And non-binary dwarves, of course. So ambitious of him to develop a whole new system of processor instructions just for a fantasy kingdom sim.

 

[Perkel]

Fuck why it is only one year. I wish i could back to it in few years with a lot more content...

 

[Falksi]

Looks a complete fucking mess.

 

[DDZ]

I missed out on Rimworld for a good two years because I couldn't get over the way it looked. But man, Rimworld game looks amazing compared to this shit. I wouldn't mind artsy stylized pixels if it at least didn't make everything close to impossible to make out and a bitch to read.

Fuck you indie devs.

You should definitely play Dwarf Fortress first. Going from Rimworld -> DF will be harder due to the UI.
