I had a hernia once I played this game (Jokes)

http://www.goblincamp.com/

You start off with 15 goblins and 6 Orc's.

After this, you are to build a goblin camp and thrive and survive the future!

I am still playing this game and I am not aware of anything. I just had to post this!

Neat features
-How it relates to DF and at the same time does not relate to DF at all.
-Wolf pack attacks you! FTW!
-New game, expect updates!
-Click&move to scroll the map!
-Can mod!!! Someone should make a dwarf! And it should seige you!

Is it suppose to be a DF-like? Anyways, Camps are for Cutebolds. Goblins have Towers.

Does not appear to be DF-like

My goal for Goblin Camp is to be a fun city-builder with a robust economy and military system. With the economy regulating itself once it is built, the player can then concentrate on military matters. Of course the economy will require fine tuning whenever circumstances change, and quick responses in case of disasters such as plague or fires.

Designing defenses should be easy and intuitive, and it should be possible to make strategic choices which affect the outcome of battles. Primarily combat will be about defending your settlement, but raiding other civilization’s settlements is definitely on the list.

I want to concentrate on macro rather than micromanagement. You won’t be looking at labour settings for individual creatures, nor will you be ordering anything at individual workshops. Instead the player’s role is to situate buildings efficiently to allow products to flow well, set the aims of the industry and the military. Various managers will handle the micromanagement.

Goblins and orcs (especially goblins) should be considered expendable. Sure, orcs will gain skill in their professions, and protecting your long time experts will increase your industry’s efficiency, but when it comes down to it an orcs life is a short and brutal one. Rank-and-file orcs won’t be given much personality, only if an orc distinguishes him/herself and is especially long-lived will they be given more details.

Terrain elevation will be simple. Mostly everything will be on one level, but it’s possible to dig out the ground to make pits or a moat. Flying creatures will simply ignore terrain, and guards in towers firing down at invaders is achieved using Status effects.

Given that the player is on the side of orcs, the traditional fantasy “bad guys”, Goblin Camp will go with the bad guy theme ala Dungeon Keeper. Your orcs, trolls, undead and demons will do battle with the heroes in gleaming armor and their parties of companions.

and did you forget that your goblins also have Orc's?

Didn't even notice there were two other dead posts about it.
They say its just a cheap clone of this game.
But I think otherwise.

[breadbocks]

Looks interesting. I didn't mean to insult this, just wasn't sure if I would be getting another DF.

[Sowelu]

Oh man.  Search function.

This one has more info than every single previous thread though, so that's cool at least.

[ductape]

ahh yet another GC thread. Well, it's not very fun to play but i like that he is using the libtcod engine to build it. If you wanna see some cool shit check out what the developer of libtcod is doing with it...

I like the interface, but the game itself is rather unfinished. I'll wait until they do much more work on it before I give it a full spin. Also, graphic tilesets would be nice. I'm not one of the many that enjoy staring at little moving letters.

Isn't jice building him a tile engine for libtcod?

I just wish the C# version would get more love. And by love, I mean something other than what it's getting lately. ;_;

The UI alone makes me gurgle and squeal like a baby, it's light years ahead of DF's.

[thvaz]

I find it really boring right now. It's like DF without all the things I love about DF.

[Meanmelter]

It appears this thread is only causing me to get yelled at for not searching a game I figured no one made a post about.
At the same time, the other two are dead and I do not think anyone here favors me posting a comment in a topic from a long time ago.
I think it deserves its own post here, and it's in development.

[GlyphGryph]

Actually you've gotten quite a few good comments. Your thread has made people want to play it instead of arguing about it, so those other threads lose and you win.

I am 100% for a simplifed rogue-like city builder. I look forward to where GC is going.

That being said, I am more bored in GC than I am in DF. You have so much less to do. You basically set up the outline of your camp and then wait for 10 minutes for things to get flowing. Without having to go in and designate what you what to mine, how to flood your farms, and some other third thing the early game is actually pretty dull.

There are some things I really really like, such as the stock manager. Try your best to have 30 pies on hand at all times. Don't cook until I have piles of plump helmet roasts clogging up the tunnels.

Anyways, I approve of this topic. More information, less flamming (so far).
