Odd realm (another) Dwarf Fortress clone

[Theodora]

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

Feedback more than UI I think, but yeah.

According to devlogs this guy has added a fuckton of features since 2019. And the price is still good. Font looks better, it is readable now

Fuck me, this game is good, half of my crew just died because I am stupid. This was well spent 35 potatoes.

Also, I've read some of the devlogs and in comparison to other sandbox DF-likes this is developing really fast. And the game is already quite complex.
I guess that dev is a competent person, avoiding spaghetti code and working on Unity or similar.

yeah when i was creating thread dev was really fast like feature every week. not following it these days but when i followed it it required some good amount of work before release. Game had like half the basic content i expected from df clone.

I am curious how do your find it now, after 3 years of development.

Well i did play it only at the time back then. I will do some testing later on but i have some games to play first on my list.

Well i am back playing it. So far game massively improved.

1. 3D is here much like in DF previously only 2D building/digging was possible
2. UI got massive overhaul QOL and art wise. Eyestrain fonts are gone, assigning jobs, production etc. is now very easy and confortable to use.
3. Farming, carpeting, masonry, blacksmith, forestry, houses, fishing, magic, taming, military and so on. Ton of jobs are in
4. Got even more good music.
5. You can now choose embark profile, where to land, map size, race, strata of people etc.
6. 5 races now instead of only humans
7. Animals randomly aproach and munch your resources.
8. Containers much like in DF store stuff now but without DF nighmare of ui and weirdness
9. In game tutorial that teaches you how to play game
10. Tech tree, your workers will sometimes produce books for which your upgrade stuff.

At least this is from my 3 hours with in new game.

Feels almost ready to release.


And the best part. No FPS problems like in DF.

When are we going to get a Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode clone? Because that's what all these games are missing.

Looks actually decent.

As someone who played way too much dwarf fortress, I'm gonna say it. Dwarf fortress is a meme. It's 'sold' as a super complex game with hyper deep systems, if you can just work through the shitty UI. But... once you know what you're doing, it's actually fucking shallow and random pointlessness. It can barely be described as a game.
The fact that the creator decided a bunch of pozzed bullshit was high priority didn't help, but he's a literal sperg so, he can't help it I guess, his brain doesn't work right.
