Survivors of Ragnarok

Survivors of Ragnarök is a city-building game inspired by Dwarf Fortress. Players are in charge of construction, management, and survival of their dwarfs and their bastion.

Sounds interesting, anyone heard of this game before?

Btw, some images I found from one of their forum posts...

Looks more like a platformer than a management game.  I wonder if it is a 'manage all your critters at top-level' or if it's 'give individual orders'.  Still, 'inspired by' can mean any damn thing, and it is pretty cool looking.

Kamina and Simon are in the screenshots there. This amuses me greatly. A little worried though. Hoping it's not one of those games that starts off with really pretty art and ends up having gameplay as deep as an empty bowl of soup.

Think you could spoiler some of the more massive screenshots, please?

This looks rather intriguing. I'll definitely keep following it.

As interesting as this could be, is there any news on when there will be a playable release?

If you made the topic too soon it might fall into obscurity and be forgotten until then. (made topic too soon?)

One of the devs said on another forum it would be in late December, in a beta/alpha form, I believe.

always wondered why someone didnt take the landscape modification of worms, character management and make it in to a more persistent platform style game.
