Thank you Sauropod!

From anyone who ever played Lego as a kid.
From those of us who built forts from cushions, sheets and dinner chairs.
From the few who dreamt of being the lord of our own domain.

Thank you for making one of the games that i have always wished for.

Lots of appreciation from Australia!

Show your Love here guys!

Thanks Sauropod, i've always wanted a good castlebuilding game.

you have my thanks as well!

+1

Don't forget the snow forts! Unfortunately they didn't have snow when I was a kid so I didn't get to do this (or maybe it had something to do with me living in a temperate climate... but I don't think snow existed yet when I was a kid).

Few? Who hasn't?

Agreed! Thanks!

Lots of appreciation from here as well.

You got my appreciation.

lots of appreciation with love from holland

A cutesy voxel world with a brilliant castle defense mechanic, fully designable, and fully destructible.

That, is why you are awesome Sauropod Games

Congrats on breaking $600K and 750% funding!

Thank you from me as well. I am just really scared because the last few games that i was really hyped about almost completely flopped... D3 for example... so i am just really hoping they come through. I have total faith they can and that they will! Just don't let me down.

Anyone ever play stronghold? This game reminds me of stronghold plus minecraft. I want to play soooo bad!

Wouldn't say stronghold. More like Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress and a RTS mixed in a blender, with two twists.
Good graphics, and floating islands.

I played stronghold when i was younger and remember liking it alot.

So i bought stronghold 3...

Its in a special category of its own on my steam list along with Ataris remake of star raiders.

The category is called PIECE OF (bad word for doodoo here) GAMES

Its too bad Stronghold 3 was so bad...

On topic though, I am glad Sauropod is really pulling through with updates at the end, and I love the new x-ray mode as unpolished as it is.

You know, I have to give Sauropod credit. Everyone tries to compare upcoming games to those that they've already seen... but it's not too often that people get into spirited debates over which game it's like! The candidates I've seen suggested most frequently are Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, and Stronghold... and I believe Dungeon Keeper is up there as well.

This suggests to me that Castle Story is bringing a unique and somewhat different style of play to the game, which makes me very happy in the days of Halo 18, Call of Duty 27, Madden 2034, etc.

Amen brother. Loving the ideas they have, its like they read my mind of what i wanted. I dont even need to make suggestions. They already KNOW.

Its human nature to relate a new product to something they already know, just so they can familiarise themselves with the new idea.

Right, that's what I was saying. But the fact that everyone seems to have a different opinion on what it most closely resembles bodes well for the uniqueness of both the art style and the gameplay. I think everyone would agree that each of the games posited differ to some degree, and CS can't be like all of them without being different from all of them in some other way, so I think it's going to end up forging its own unique subgenre

Everyone has a different opinion because without playing the game everyone has different expectations and envisions the game a specific way. Some see it more similar to one game while others see almost no similarities.
