that was a luky dwarf. I had one dabbling surgeon fail so spectacularly that the patient skull flew a tile away from the table.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

That sounds markedly like the society formed by The Party in Oceania, in the book 1984.
Really much like it. With the whole thoughless sacrifice and dedication, as well as the "Mini(ministry role goes here)" naming thing. Sounds pretty cool.

And if the races are still functionally identical even when this talked about intellectual supremacy and physical devolution, then the whole backstory seems like it's even more pointless than normal backstory.

Planet of the laser toting, facist Apes?

I couldn't be happier. The race I'll be playing as has now been chosen :

Actually, couldn't some of these potentially show up as NPC races to talk/quest/trade with? Which would make some sense for its backstory.

QFT!

I'm psyched for this game partially for the water physics partially for the fact that I get to play as a bird.

Sometimes I think I might be the only person who associates birds with filth and noise.

No, I pretty much do too. Seagulls and pigeons.

Same with monkeys.

Depends which ones. The only ones that make noises I dislike are seagulls anyway.  And only because I hated seagulls before. All of the birds make nice noises besides them.

Also because flying is awesome and I am extremely jelly.

... I associate birds with antediluvian horror. Have you see baby birds? Straight out of a bloody lovecraft novel. As they get older, the feathers merely hide the existential dread these avian monstrosities represent.

Playing one should be fun :P

Well, if the main site is anything to trust then no. To my knowledge there are no plans for either of those to be released.

That's awful wishful thinking considering they've only really posted a few small mockups. Q3 2013 might be a better estimate if the current website is any indicator.
