It was even easier to build long walls in DF then it was in Townseed.

Not my point, my point was that in the past DF made you manually place each site of wall construction, and then Toady managed to make it easier by being able to designate in rows and shapes and such. That could EASILY be done here.

Well considering the game is in early development, I think it can turn out to be fun.  The building list is a bit thin though, that should be fixed soon.

I watched two other videos, neither was extremely long, and there was a mention of creating blueprints that could be used to plan out larger structures without having to designate each individual tile one at a time. So, perhaps once you have some basic stuff set up, you create a blueprint for a 2x8 block of wall, plus one for a 5x5 corner tower. At that point, you also have NPCs actually working on the tasks you set, so they'll handle the otherwise monotonous task of putting it together, leaving you free to go off and do interesting things.

This looks like it has potential. In some ways wish I hadn't found out about it until later in development.

Thanks for linking to my video sorry if its boring but I try to informative as possible about the game and developer

if not interested skip to 9min mark for character creation or even farther for gameplay

You think he's boring? I started to watch one guys Let's Play of Deus Ex:HR and he spent like fifteen twenty-minute episodes in the starting lobby. Dear lord, I can stand methodical playing, and stopping to smell the roses, but that was over TWO HOURS. OF THE STARTING LOBBY. With people screaming in his ear about hostages dying because he's a slow idiot. I was terrified to see how long it would get once he got in the bigger areas.

Compared to that, pretty much anything I watch looks quick and succinct.

Now, I am a bit confused on how to make it run...

you double click on the app once it is downloaded and it will install itself then once that is done double click on app again and game will open

when later builds come out make sure to uninstall older build then run the new build

I feel the same way.  I love the idea of controlling a single character and building a village/town/empire? with npc help.  I will be watching this one, but the wait will be killing me.

- Horrific interface (hold F one second too long on the palisade and it'll get immediatly destroyed? Are you kidding me?);
- P2P;
- Obviously console-oriented interface (in a fucking survival game);
- Lack of any explanation whatsoever what you're supposed to do;
Yeah, fuck this.

You do realize you're on the Dwarf Fortress forum? And that this "game" is a pre-alpha?

Horrific interface and lack of explanation actually also applies to DF.

weird did you unrar etc then open TownseedAlpha.application to install then click again to play

If still having issues post on 8-bit funding under Townseed or his blog and should get a fast response

So basically it's on the way to becoming DF.
