Thank you so much man! We try very hard! 0.39 is right around the corner!

[Deadmeat1471]

I didnt think i'd be getting this due to lack of money, but it appears I had enough spare cash from Xmas to buy it (amogst other indie greats!).
Admittedly I hadnt been keeping my eye on towns as closely as some other indie games, but I'm glad to support another indie dev and get a decent game in return Even if it is still alpha.
But come on, anyone who plays DF doesnt give a crap about an 'alpha' game Finished or unfinished, some games have quality.

I'll play it abit later and see how its comming along!   Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much! Feel free to PM me with any ideas or problems, and also make sure to stop by our forums!

Thanks so much! Feel free to PM me with any ideas or problems, and also make sure to stop by our forums!

Played it quite abit yesterday, brutal honesty time.

-Love the general idea,  Love the dwarf forty implimentation of stuff.

-Graphics actually look nice ingame, though the menus could do abit better(probably low priority for alpha!

-Tool tips I think are a MUST for plusses and minuses and items etc, I'm still undsure what the +'s do for the items! I assume it puts 1 person on it constantly to make the product and the other just makes 1 of that product.

-Love the dungeon area stuff and the mining etc, though havent done it much yet.

-I think an option to have a kind of continuous painting would be nice. Example: instead of having to shift click when want multiple walls, just click and draw a square or click to start wall, click to end. Repeat. Without having to click on the stone wall icon again to do the second wall. Another example would be tilling, right clicking with shift, click then click drag is incredibly awkward!

-I'm not sure you can fill in holes you dug? I accidently dug a hole once and had to build around it. If this is the case, might need to fill it in. However as in dwarf fort, this isnt possible afaik so.... no biggie

-Graphics options, resolutions, etc.

-fast forward button? I dont think this exists... its not massive problem as theres usually stuff going on in this game.

Overall
Gameplay = Really fun
Graphics = Ingame very good, menus etc not so much.

So far, its a great game already and i'm glad to support it!


*These are just first impressions and I'm certain most if not all of the negatives are due to it being alpha, or have been mentioned already!

**I will have to go join the towns forums I think, and see how its getting along there

Ok, a comprehensive tutorial system will be up in the next version of the game!

Only tried the demo just now. But things that has come to mind would be;
Building on tiles occupied by mats would simply move the mat, currently unable to designate tile for building.
A way to delete stockpiles and buildings. -Edit- nevermind, i found it.
otherwise it feels quite DF-ish at the moment and i will keep an eye out.

We have recently had the pleasure of expanding our group to a fourth member. Sphaz is hard at work on content for the game, and Ben, as always, is hard at work designing the graphics for it. While taking everyone's petitions into consideration we have come up with the following changes (soon to be implemented.)
1 bone armor for in between wood and iron

2. campfire as a slow way of cooking without a stove

3 a rare monster that drops a unique item

 4 minable stone with mineshaft

5 brownies (creatures, with spawnable towns, NOTE: NOT DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE!)

A huge round of applause for our content manager, who is currently working at Norse God speeds!
