"Yet Another 'Wow' Post"

Really.  I'm impressed.  I've spent about two days on this so far.  I'll have more to say later, once I've played it more.

I really like the current state of it; I really, really like the list of planned further improvements.

Just wait till he does Lighting. That'll knock all our socks off... Way better then FEAR or Doom 3 ever could, because the lighting will be real-time AND colored w/ color interactions!  :D

Lensflares are impossible without lenses. Hence the name.

Your eye is a lens, and as such its not recommended that you stare at the sun or particularly bright lights, especially if youre used to being underground all the time(a dwarf.) Hence, the joke.   :p

From dev:

Bloat33, EYE GLASSES, (Future): Eye glasses and dwarves that need them. Jeweler can make lenses from raw glass, and then make frames from another material.

DO YOUR REQUIRED READIN'!

Not that I actually have a clue about lens making.  I guess they'll make those giant telescope lenses and find plutons too.

What kind of dwarves are we talking about here? Isn't "sky lover" the deadliest insult in dwarven language?

Yeah, but there are asteroids in space. Space mines, dude. Space mines. Any self-respecting dwarf would take the chance to mine space-gold.

From this story:

Pluto, which was discovered in 1930 by the American Clyde Tombaugh, will be referred to as a "dwarf planet".
