The idea has tons of potential. Need to keep the game in mind. However it seems like the game will get really cluttered in the long run, judging by the videos and screenshots.

I always want to get into games like this, but everytime I investigate them (DF in particular) I think, "Why would I want to play such a seemingly micro intensive game?".

 

Explain why I am mistaken in that impression please.  Or if I'm not mistaken, then just say "Yep, if you don't like micro then this isn't for you."

 

I mean, really, I have to tell them to build a door?  Yah, I guess it might matter if I want a thick door, or a metal door, or a ...

 

But no, I don't care about what kind of door it is :)

I love games like this, will definitely buy it if they stay steady on development. Thank you for the link.

Played the demo, then "pre-ordered" to get the alpha. I recommend this to anyone who liked Dwarf Fortress, or liked the idea of Dwarf Fortress but  found it too ugly/complex/bad UI. This game, so far, is like a Dwarf Fortress Light where more focus is put on advancing through the underground dungeons rather than mining and exploration. That said, the game is very early in alpha, and I only recommend that you keep an eye on its development. Although I spent about 10 hours so far on the game, there are some very large issues that they obviously just haven't gotten around to implementing yet.

Between this, Dwarf fortress being updated again after a year, and "a Game of Dwarves", I'm a very happy sim-builder.
