Update today. The interface still kept me from playing for very long.

[yarr]

So anything good came with the update? I mean I've heard terrible things about this game, is it playable by now? Should I buy it? Thanks

    The DELETE key now call the garbage collector. This should help when there is lags.
    Fixed a major memory leak.
    Fixed save for barrels and stockpiles
    Added Display name and server port for multiplayer
    Added left and right click images for screencasting. (F10)

So nothing new in the past.... 6 months? More?

That's the problem with kickstarting a small team project. In normal game development, you never hear about these long stretches of backend code development. With kickstarter, we kind of expect something noticeable on a regular basis.

I have faith in them. Small-team games takes AGES to update.
Hell, I have been waiting for a Blockade Runner update for a whole year now. 6 months ain't nothing.

This is the patch for the patch just a few weeks earlier. A lot has been added/improved/fixed with the Early Access release, making the game very playable.

Sorry to but in on this unrelated topic, but no, Blockade Runner has not been abandoned.  Check the forum.  There are almost daily updates concerning what the dev team is doing with BR regarding the work during that day.  Check 'em out. Some of them are pretty cool.

0.7 hit steam, and the game is finally playable.

UI is still atrocious, but had some multiplayer conquest and invasion and it's quite fun.

just save often, as I had some sporadic crashes using the pie menu

[Mephansteras]

I'd almost forgotten about this game. Glad to hear it's finally playable, when I tried it last year I think I went for about...15 minutes before giving up on it again.

[Farce]

I was actually just thinking about this today.  I'm glad to hear it didn't die, even as slow as it's been chuggin' along.

[LoSboccacc]

yeah same here, so much potential and so little to do. had two hour invasion with friends and some pve conquest. the latter is still bare-bone, but invasion is enjoyable and actually challenging (they dig, they climb, the big one toss the small ones over walls, the shady bastards throw rocks at archers etc)

[Farce]

Hahahah, they fastball special their guys over your walls?  That's pretty good.  I think Timber and Stone's the only other DF-like I've seen with anything to do with like, ballistic trajectories and stuff.

From last year's threads, arise!

They've released a 1.0 version now, changelog is here.

Has anyone played it recently? Some of this sounds pretty new.

[Mephansteras]

I messed with .9 a little bit, but decided to hold off on playing much until 1.0. I'll probably play around it tonight.

[nenjin]

I've felt so burned by this Kickstarter, and it's been a struggle to play every time I start it up I honestly haven't looked at it in probably two years or more.

This has to be the longest running, still in active development Kickstarter I've backed.
