For fans of... Minecraft?: Timber and Stone

actually it does, looks quite nice, not to complicated, quite stronghold and mine---ft mix, i like it

Wow. That looks incredible. I love Dwarf Fortress but it's accessibility is still a bit... well, the learning curve kicks you in the jimmies.

Between Castle Story, A Game of Dwarves and now Timber and Stone it's going to be a very busy fall!

Damn, I wish I could pledge but I only got $5 literally.

I hope I can save up to pay down the $30 for it. Maybe. I'm playing some DF right now. Or, well, staring at the title screen. There's an indie game out there that's similar. Less 3d though. Isometric. http://www.townsgame.com/ in which it's like DF but you instead run a town for adventurers. And stuff.

Grats on your moderatorship, Steve!

Yeah DF = Dwarf Fortress. Towns is very much like Dwarf Fortress, only isometric. Stockpiles, digging, it's pretty involved. Like DF.

Timber and Stone looks more simplistic, which isn't a bad thing. At all. DF's accessibility, as mentioned, can be a bit... difficult. But then Fun ensues. And you start over.

i'll have to check these out! I always like the concept of DF but never had time to get into it and learn the UI and such. I was hopeful for Gnomoria until CS came about and totally swayed me. Both T&S and Towns look interesting! woohoo for awesome games.

Backed.

It looks really promising.

Backed a couple of days ago, seems good.

Not sure he will make it, only 1.8k so far out of 50k. Lets hope he gets some publicity.
About towns, if you download, I think v0.6 is bugged, I could not dig more than one layer nor build above that one either. v0.5 seems stable though

He probably should've added the polish and publicity before the Kickstarter campaign, but I suppose that's what the funds are for. It looks promising. A little empty, but promising.

Agreed. $50,000 is pretty ambitious without advertising a lot. Does Kickstarter allow people to resubmit their projects? This campaign will likely fail, but if he gets the word out it might be worth another try.

It's cool that you're doing your part for the game though. You've already got the game a few backers.

Does he have any Youtube videos yet?

Side note: I freaking love LeSean McCoy... woooooooo!

Cool, cause I was really hoping for a video on the KS and the stills just aren't doing it for me enough right now

EDIT: There IS a video on the KS, is that new? or last time I looked at the KS my computer just didn't want to show me the fact that it was a video
