I'm actually really interested in the idea of characterizing the AI Storyteller and even having her communicate with you on a meta-level.

Can she be "angry" that you've defied her? Can she have something good or bad planned? Can she tell you about it? All questions I'm interested in.

add in a bit of 'I have no mouth and I must scream and it would be perfect.
an all encompassing AI can defeat the player at any time it wants, and sadism is a great motive for not doing so.

100% going on my watch list for games to get. looks awesome so far from what i can see. i agree with those who have said its got a DF meets prison architect feel to it which is good because they are both games i love to play.

Maybe I should model one of them after Q from Star Trek.


In other news! Little update for everyone.

First, you can sign up to get an email when the game comes out at rimworldgame.com. I put it up when I realized these press outlets were starting to pick up the game and the video got 4000 hits in half a day D: -> :D

There's also an informative new interview at the Jace Hall Show here: http://www.jacehallshow.com/news/gaming/preview/20130918/bioshock-infinite-developer-indie-space-colonization-sim-rimworld-2/
