Just spotted the trailer for this on steam, looks like it will be interesting.

Why is there no purchase option (or even a price). Looks kinda interesting though.

No idea, perhaps they simply haven't activated it for pre-orders yet. It is £3.99 over on gamers gate or £3.20 on impulse so I'm expecting a similar price.

I would get it on impulse but it's blocked at work, most annoying. But it looks like it's worth ~£4 so might have to give it a go.

About 50 seconds into the trailer it says battle the ai, or your friends. So there is some multiplayer but I'm not sure how it works and probably not co-operative.

I just read the reviews/blurb. Computer is running on dial up right now because someone in my family used all the broadband up and then blamed me.... But yea. I wasn't to sure about the meaning behind it. Could be cool.

I recall a thread about this before and I also remember there being a demo. Except I couldn't download it, because the official site was overloaded or something. Apparently they took it off the site, but it's still around the web.

EDIT: Oh, wait, no. It's still on their site.

What? What does that mean? I thought "pixel art" was about pixels so big it's not "High Definition".

I have some store credit with Impulse. If anyone grabs this let me know if it's fun.

And so, Dwarf Fortress has been remade, and is ready to be released to the general public. Well, at least the females have beards too. It's a plus.

Both the demo and the errrrrr ... full demo are readily available all over the web. No need to bend over for DRM clients at all.

That being said... I found the game rather boring real quick, but for that price, well, it doesnt need to be great does it?

I always thought it probably would be funner if it was a real boardgame.

This isn't even trying to be DF, just because something has dwarves digging it is now a DF clone?

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

When a dwarf enters a martial trance, they become Jedi. Short, drunken Jedi.

Well, the king does wear purple. Though I'd at most call that a homage (or just a coincidence).

Purple is traditionally the color of royalty.
