When I first saw this I was like,
"Mount and Blade meets Dwarf Fortress? Have you been looking into my dreams?"
I'm sure this will be worth the wait.

Yes, yes I have. Most of it was horrifying, but I did extract the M&B/DF blend you desired...

Thanks

Just updated the development plan for 0.2.0 - here's what I'll be working on:

The absence of Mac version still makes me sad. I can play it fine, but I have to open up the XP VM to do so.

Make a forum, Bay12 can't be your forum.

Not sure where this is coming from, this thread is fine here, BUT...

I have often thought this thread belongs in Creative Projects, since thats what it is. I like to this of the Other Games section as a place we share with each other interesting games to play. Not sure if theres really any hard and fast rules, but I personally would rather see completed games or games that are moving toward release status soon. Long rambling development threads just dont seem to fit here as well, but I honestly dont care hat much.

From the description on top of the creative projects board:

Visual arts, music, writing, and anything else you are working on that you'd like to share.  Video game projects work here or in Other Games.  General workshops and questions about this sort of thing are welcome here.  Reviews and discussion about stuff by other people would be better over at General Discussion.

Acording to Toady, this is fine where it is.

Yeah, this is fine here. It's being billed as a serious thing and not a lark/hobby, which is what I tend to imagine Creative Projects are.

In my expereince, many games start here, move to their own forums and I promptly lose track of them (I'm looking at you cataclysm and prospector).

Until you need to have multiple discussions running separably or a large player base outside of b12, there's no need for a separate forum.

Besides, forums take work. Do your grad school and your development and leave the infrastructure of your fan base to someone else.

I'm working on a Linux version, but a Mac version is proving very tough, especially given that libtcod isn't really compatible with OSX. A good six hours' work couldn't get it to compile; I'll give it another shot for 0.2.0, but I'm not hopeful

As for a forum, I do intend to add one to my site eventually, but let's be honest, there isn't much point yet. Come 1.0.0, I'll put one up, but for the next year until all the combat mechanics, other unit mechanics (sleep, food, etc etc) and some basic history generation is in, there isn't that much to discuss. I'll definitely put one up once history generation is fully implemented, though, as I'll be interested to see what people make of that...

If you do get a forum, please keep posting the changelogs here as well. I'm interested in a lot of games, and I just can't check all their fora/blogs regularly.

Worry ye not, I definitely would/will keep posting here and on other sites too!

Just after you post saying "OSX unlikely", my XP VM dies on me, forcing a full hard reset every time i try to oepn it. No more URR for me, it seems

Nooo! Would a Linux version be more palatable? I'm working on that for 0.2.0.

I can't get my screen to allow me to see the bottom of the game window. Is there some trick that I don't know?
