Hello Bay 12 Community!
Firstly, I must point out I'm not here to diminish Bay 12 Games, Toady, or Dwarf Fortress in any way. I have had some fun times with games like Dwarf Fortress, but I feel there is a lot of room for games that take a different approach.
I've began work on a fully 3d gaming project that is starting with a foundation of some core concepts from Dwarf Fortress as an inspiration, but aiming for a different experience that is more traditional and mainstream. I wanted to open up a discussion about what a general reaction to this might be amongst the DF community, so I might better gauge how I will tackle my goal.
I have a few quick questions that would really help me to hear some responses to.
1) Would you be likely to support a project such as this, if it seems to have merit equal to or exceeding DF in terms of graphics and gameplay?
-That means either pledging financial support for the development (with gifts in return, of course) or by purchasing the game when finished.
2) How much would you be willing to spend supporting this kind of project during development? 5$, 25$, 100$ more?
3) What kinds of gifts would best entice you to pledge financial support for the development?
4) Sight unseen, roughly how much would you be willing to spend for a copy once the game is finished?
5) Are there any features that you would love to see in a project like this?
6) Would anyone out there be willing and able to assist with the project?
-I can add details as they come up, but the only thing I know for sure right now is I'm set on using the Unreal engine and the UDK, as it's well featured and relatively easy to use.
7) Any other general comments or questions you'd like to express?
