Not much to say about this one yet but the project caught my eye (via Indie Games blog).
They're currently trying to get funding for their servers, artists, etc.

Whiskey Planet is a brutally realistic, gritty and heavily-stylized post-apocolyptic survival sim game. The world is based on 5 factions vying for position in a turf war over small towns in Northern England. Players assume the role of a single survivor and must struggle against both the world itself and the other players to survive. This is a realistic simulation though, we dare you to make it more than 2 weeks without getting chewed up and spat out! Honestly, this game is 1/2 fun, 1/2 true simulation, so while it is VERY accessible to everyone, it is NOT an easy game to win... in fact it might be impossible.

Players create their own story by hunting for food/shelter and either fighting or befriending (and strategizing with) other players. The world is a harsh place after it has ended, so you will need to be smart in order to keep your health high enough to stay alive.

So you've played a survival sim, you are a master of collecting supplies to stay fed? Then join in on the larger strategy game. Whiskey Planet is made up of a number of towns that 5 different factions are fighting for rule over. Your actions gain you 'clout' and you can excercise that clout in order to claim parts of the map in the name of your faction. What are the different factions? Read on...

Sounds cool to me

Depends. Is this a text based webgame a la Die2Night or a full on game?

Web-based game but realtime based, so similar to die2nite

Im perpetuallz amayed bz how often we fall for this.

 Its cool stuff sure, but as alwazs expectations on features dreamed up bz fantasies are gonna cause high amounts of bullshit in both requests for features and bitching on how terrible the game is a month after release.

How much do you want to bet that when the game comes out Shadows outnumber the rest of the factions 2:1 because they're dark and mysterious and only come out at night?

It's always the same with online games.

I for one think Horde Punks sound the coolest.

EDIT:  Oh wait, I just realized what kind of game this is.  Nevermind :c

[Rex_Nex]

Not interested. Did not like Die2Night, kinda want this done in a real game.

[Dragooble]

I thought this was going to be a game about a planet with whiskey instead of water.

Considering they're halfway through their scheduled fundraising drive in days and still at the beginning funds-wise, I'm not holding my breath.
Sounds like a neat project though, if it didn't look like it was DOA and if I wasn't looking forward to a long future of indebting myself to the state to pay for my apartment while I study, I might actually donate.
