It looks like DF (It has dwarves and blocky tunnels) but it's not. If you're expecting anything remotely like DF, don't bother.

The trailer on Steam makes it look more like an arcade game.

I'm making a game called "Innkeep!", where you run an inn set in a low-fantasy world and try to lighten your guests pockets. Forum topic here.

Dwarf fortress is cheaper, and has raws.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

It's not like Dwarf Fortress at all. Every single game that has dwarfs in it is not a challenge to Toady's code throne. It would be different if it were a blatant copy, but not this. Inspired by Dwarf Fortress, but not a plagiarism of Toady's work.

EDIT: And yes, there's probably a Dwarf post every few days. Be sure to use the search tool before posting.

Give yourself a couple days and a can of mountain dew, you'll find it eventually.

You know, we can take this clear too its logical extreme. The "Black and White" series is CLEARLY a DF rip-off because some people argue the point that the player is Armok, a god, and therefore you are playing as a god and therefore Peter Molyneux used a short range time machine to steal the idea from Tarn.

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

No, your pet craps on the populace.

Toady hasn't coded his animals to crap on the milkers yet.
